We purchased 2 of this model last fall. We were looking for an entry level sit on top kayak for paddling local streams and small rivers.
This inexpensive kayak is very stable and the tracking is not terrible. There is ample room for gear in the back and storage inside via a hatch in the front. There are 2 stationary rod holders behind you and a removable swivel rod holder in front of you.
The hatch in front is NOT water tight. My husband hit an obstacle below the surface of the water and his boat took in about 8 gallons of water in the brief time it took for him to right the boat. It has adjustable foot pegs. We discovered that one was broken when we arrived home after purchasing the boats. I called Pelican and they shipped out a replacement immediately. I had it in maybe 3 days.
If you are extremely tall with long legs this is not the boat for you. I am 5'8" and when the foot pegs are fully extended, I sometimes wish that they would move down another inch or two. My husband is 6'2", but his legs are not much longer than mine, and he likes to ride with a little more bend in the knee than I do. He says for the money he is satisfied, and I think I agree.
