It was better than expected and the shipping was fast. The only thing was the Reel Yaks sticker on each side was peeling up around the edges and was very brittle and flaking off. Other than that i love it.

Showed up in 3 days
Showed up in 3 days, only complaint is that there's no reverse and the adjustment clasps on the seat were sharp out of the box, absolutely amazing otherwise

Quality Boat
Honestly, for the price, this is a solid deal. I was skeptical at first but the craft proved me wrong. Great buy.

Outstanding Kayak – Exceeded Expectations
First time pedal kayak for me. Stability is good. It actually moves faster in the water than I expected from reading prop vs flat reviews. Easy to assemble and holds up pretty good. For the value of what I paid compare to others I’m not complaining but I will have a few complaints. First off, the damn cup holder is in the worse spot ever. It conflicts with the rudder. Picture for reference. That’s my biggest complaint. I wear a size 10 and for a great foot position on the pedals my feet rubs the orange foam and squeaks like SpongeBobs boots everytime. You have to slouch kinda in your seat to get a good pedaling position. One of my clamps was bent but thank god they gives you a spare replacement one. Also while assembled, it’s freaking heavy. Like extremely heavy. Better to assemble right next to the water but heavy isn’t bad because it’s good material. All in all, I’m happy with my purchase. With just some adjusting and adjustments it will be perfect for my needs.

Loving this vessel!It came with one missing wing nut that secures the rudder... no big deal really.I notified Reel Yaks and 1 week later they sent us 8 extra wing nuts!I'm new to this but after taking this thing out for a day I'm blown away!Minor effort needed to move this vessel along using the prop version with pedals.Fits in my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with room to spare.I feel that this is a great value and well built.Couldn't be more pleased!!
