Questions & Answers

Is there a transducer available for this kayak?

My fish finder has no problems working with this accessory

Is there a rotor on this kayak Does it come with an installation disc? If not, how can I get one?

The vessel currently lacks a rudder but can be upgraded to have one

The kayak looks like it comes with paddles and seats. What else do you need? Some online sellers indicate they offer paddles and seats, while their product does not include them. ?

Hence, the paddles and seats that we ordered came as part of the package. In spite of this, we had to add padding to the seats because they are not very comfortable.

The kayak is great for the price
5/5

My wife and I love our kayak. We installed Navilights, a Raymarine Drangonfly imager, and a few other extras and we are off to the water. We can set up all our gear and we are comfortable in the water. Together, they weigh about 340 pounds. We caught 10 keeper catfish, and two times we had to get out of the vessel and re-fish I entered the water while it was shallow and had no capsize issues. It's the first time I've heard about it, but my pre-order came with it It has threaded bolt holes in the transom for mounting a motor and other accessories, which is a pretty big deal. In terms of tandem kayaks with associated accessories, this one was the best bang for the buck during the time I spent comparing. After receiving the device and putting it to the test with real anglers, I'm certain that we made the right I caught fish and we didn't forget to return it. I had a great time kayaking with my friends today!.

Can't see it working with an ocean, but it might work with a lake
3/5

I'm trying out kayaking for the first time. The fact that it came with two paddles and two seats is a plus for me. The holders of the rods are acceptable. As a bay fisher, I have fished portions of Port Mansfield, and the bay side of SPI in A kayak such as this takes in too much water even when there is little Due to the fact that I kayak solo, I ride in the back. Kayaks have filled with water both in the back seat and in the storage compartment on both occasions. I weigh 210 lbs and take only a camelback 64oz, two rods, a Super Stick, life jacket and required safety equipment, an air horn, an Innovative bow light, and a YakAttack VisiPole II with me. Anglers went out at 530 AM) for fishing. I felt fortunate to be in a 4-foot kayak after the bottom of my kayak almost bit. Water covers the bay to a height of 5 feet.

There is literally no such thing as a floating boat! It was an absolute nightmare getting Kayaks delivered! In Monterey bay, salmon season lasts for a whole month, and I missed the season because my kayak arrived 2 weeks late
3/5

As soon as I took it out, it immediately began taking in massive amounts of water into the hull where it should not have gone. In a few minutes, the kayak was like a swimming pool filled with water thanks to the light chop. the back compartment is filled with water, the weight lowers you to the ground, so the water fills the storage compartment completely. In the dry compartment, water is covered with a layer of ice, and it bead directly into the hull, ruining your gear and sinking you further. Kayaks can be dangerous, so you should not use one! As well as sinking the screw holes for mounting the motor, it also bends the stern and appears as if it will break a hole in the back of the A kayak was assembled incorrectly, resulting in pole holders popping right out of their holes and every screw being loose with some being Get a kayak that you can actually use without fear of drowning! Invest $200 in a kayak so that you can really enjoy your time in the water! A lot of money was wasted!.

That's exactly what I was looking for
4/5

This seemed just what I was looking for, so I ordered it. This is indeed the case! The product appears to be of great quality and a few pounds lighter than comparable The first time out was in a fast current and I was able to track perfectly in the stern. I fished and paddled all day because it was stable and easy to paddle. For your information, I did not use the paddles that came with the book (two of them) but my own from a few years back. As for the two seats it comes with, they're decent and have a higher back, but I replaced the seat with a higher back. The hardware and fittings appear to be of good quality, however make sure that you tighten all screws (SS marine grade into brass fittings) before traveling and continue to check periodically. Finally, I decided to put a few drops of lock-tite in there In order to be safe, secure all screw fittings with threaded rod.

On the first trip, I filled up with water
3/5

I have no idea where to begin. Almost one month after we expected it to arrive, it finally arrived. The order would be delivered later that day, according to a call I placed. In the weeks that followed, it arrived. As soon as it arrived, it looked good however, due to its late arrival, I had to wait until my next break before I could use It took on water into the belly within 1 hour of being out on the water. I had to give up on it. We were rescued by a passing boater who waved down my hand. The experience was terrible from the beginning. I lost my fishing poles and now have bruised ego.

I love the kayak - it's fantastic We have so far had a great time! It is still lighter than the majority of double kayaks, despite being large and bulky
5/5

It can be retrieved from and inserted into the boat slip by me and my daughter. Our family has taken our 2 daughters out on this kayak several times now on a small lake. I love how stable and nice it is Our trips can be sat or stood, and we often do both in the same It is fine for my older kids to go out with friends or by themselves. You'll enjoy tracking it well and the comfort is excellent. By removing the attachable fabric seats, we don't have to hold onto them. Our seats fit perfectly in just the molds. However, we have not yet fished on it, but the rod holders seem sturdy and well built. One thing I don't like about it is that the handles aren't molded, but instead are attached to molded loops with I cannot run a cable through this to lock up the kayak it is strong enough to hold the kayak, but it does not let me run a cable through it. On a private lake or river, I am not so worried about theft as on a public lake or river. But I wouldn't lock a boat on a public river sloop if I could avoid it. The delivery was free, which is also a positive. Do you know how awesome that is? It was nice to deal with such a professional delivery team.

Intentions to participate in BKC University of Houston The TK181 12 includes the following rules
5/5

A sit-on-top tandem kayak that is 5 feet long. The purchase of this 12 was the result of months of research. The kayak is a 5' sit on top and we couldn't be happier with it! Kayaks like this one are primarily used for inland lake fishing in Michigan we have multiple lakes 5 large and small There are 10 minutes in every direction from the house. Several of the lakes we want to access do not allow motorized boats and have minimal fishing pressure, so we can access them easily with this kayak. The boat has worked for me with two adults and gear totaling about 400 pounds, as well as with my five year old son without any problems. When fishing with my son, I am not averse to paddling this boat solo it tracks well and I am able to turn it easily. I am very impressed with Isaac in customer service. He answered all my questions quickly and shipped the part that I needed very quickly. This is an excellent kayak and the supplier stands by it. I have recommended the kayak to my We are grateful for your wonderful kayak. Keep it up.

You won't be sorry with this kayak! I like the fact that it's stable and can be maneuvered easily
5/5

You won't be sorry with this kayak! Easily maneuverable in rivers and lakes thanks to stabile wheels and a comfortable ride. It is highly recommended to purchase this product from this brand. According to the advertisement, delivery was on time. Measurements such as size and weight are important. It is easy to load this kayak into my vehicle on its own, each with its own kayak rack. In addition to being extremely maneuverable on water, it is also very easy to use on land if a kayak dolly is used.
