I bought this kayak with the added section to make it a two person pedal kayak. Absolute breeze to put together and use. My wife loves if to go casual paddling and cruising and it works great as a two person fishing rig. Awesome piece of equipment!!!!!!!!!
Caught two bass on my first trip! Fits in my truck yet strained my back once getting it in and out. I have not figured out an efficient way to use the two wheel cart. I had to purchase more wing nuts for the rudder. A paper clip works better than the O ring for rudder install/removal. I wish that I did not have to remove the rudder to make it fit in my truck (Ridgeline with topper). Fits in my garage nicely. Should have purchased a higher seat. The velcro on the pedal broke. Still happy with the purchase.
I’ve been wanting to to get one for awhile now and glad I did haven’t had a chance to go out yet. I have yet to figure exactly how the rudder comes up it’s a little hard by just pulling the cord out and don’t want to break the string don’t if possible to help pull rudder with one hand and the other the string but not sure if that’s doable. Other than that it seems good. Wish they had oar holders but can install o r for now can use the rod holders behind where I would be sitting. I have gone through a series of trolley carts that fit the bottom of the kayak ended up with a scupper cart.
Very nice kyack. Sturdy and built well. Wish they would make pedal system swing up instead of having to pull them out in shallow water. Also was hard to get together first time. Hopefully will be easier with time. Lastly should have come with the paperwork to register it instead of an extra charge for it. Turned me off on buying a motor.
Very nice kayak. However, the wing nuts on the rudder should be some type of lock nuts or double nuts.
