I shopped extensively online for a hard-shell sit-on-top and an inflatable, and it made more sense for me to get the inflatable for transport and storage. I was able to obtain the Blackfoot 130 in March 2021. I have not been disappointed. I am 6'2" and 275. It is extremely stable and very comfortable. The speed is fine and it tracks very well after getting an aftermarket skeg. I have not fished with it yet, but have gone out a couple of times and paddled a few miles. I keep the seat in the high position, easy to get in and out, very easy to inflate and deflate. I did buy a battery powered pump, makes life simple. For the ease of transporting, and use, I would recommend this kayak.
