Everything we hoped for!

I took this kayak out today with my 3-year-old. He had plenty of room in front of me and I was very impressed by the stability. He was laying on my leg sticking his hand and foot into the water but the kayak didn’t even tilt. I think this should work for the two of us for quite a few years!

Favorite kayak

I have three Lifetime kayaks, the Manta 120 is my favorite by far. It is stable on the water easy to load and unload the only thing I would suggest is to make the skeg wheels out of rubber.

Well Valued Kayak

Bought the kayak almost 5 months ago, and used it towards the middle of fall. It's an absolutely phenomenal kayak, and I love it so much. It's even better with 8 scupper plugs, no water splashes in the kayak, and its super stable.

Stable Well Equipped Kayak Out the box

Very Stable platform. I'm 6'2 235 and it takes my weight plus a full load with ease. Which is exactly what I was looking for. So far, so good.

Very stable

This kayak is for those who want fish comfortably from a platform, that is easy to control, while being sturdy and stable. If you worried about flipping your kayak, this will not let you! For the cons- well this kayak is heavy- so you can still rooftop it on your SUV or sedan, but be aware of the weight

If your research led you here, just get this one.

I'm not saying it will make you a better fisherman, but I am saying within the first 30 minutes I had this on the water, I caught 2 Different PBs. This kayak is the most stable kayak I've ever been on. Tons of room for gear too, and lots of space to walk around (but I haven't tried that yet, still getting my sea legs). It's heavy, but it is car-toppable, and it actually paddles and handles great. Floats high in the water too, I had no problems navigating 6" deep creek channels. If your feature selections led you to this kayak, this is your sign to just get it, you won't be disappointed.

Great stability

Bought this last week and had it out on the water yesterday. Love the stability. I’m 6’4 and 275 pounds and felt like I was on a flat bottom boat. Paddles straight. Little heavy to paddle but will end up using the motor mount. Putting the seat together was a challenge because there wasn’t much of a strap to hook together.

Stable boat

I bought this on the 4th of July and I really enjoy it. On the lake there was quite a bit of water activity creating a lot of waves and found this this Kayak was very sturdy. I am a bit disappointed with the wheel assembly and have lost the pins that hold the wheels on. Makes it a little hard to transport to the lake since it is a bit heavy. I hope I can find new pins for the wheels. They do not stay in and I would have to take them out while on the water so I would not lose the whole wheel. I took my beagle out the first day and he decided to test the water. He had a harnace on and I was able to pull him back onto the kayak without problems of tipping.

Good kayak, wheels need improvement.

Very nice kayak, extra wide and stable with lots of accessory options. Only complaint is the skegg wheels don't stay in. Lost a wheel and pin while rolling it to the water. Loosing parts before it ever even hit the water is problematic. Any chance on sending replacement wheels and pins?
