picked up this 'kayak' 2 days ago - and had it out 2x - I was shopping for a 35 pound sit inside but my fishing buddy wanted a sit on top - and he’s got the suv - the dude at the shop said 'fat boys' need something bigger - the boat is beautiful - open cockpit lots of room - very stable - tracks very well - glides easy - no problem with moderate wind so far - stayed dry - and got in and out no problem - plenty of room for gear - my butt did ache as the seat is not very padded - but the back rest is very good and adjustable - great for my flat water fishing
