I was looking to replace my Scrambler 11 with the Malibu 11.5 as I liked the increase in capacity from 325 pounds to 360.
After owning numerous Ocean Kayaks over the past 20 years I just bought it without trying it first - big mistake.
it paddles like a leaf on the water going wherever it wants regardless of input from me
After second time out I sold it and bought a NOS Prowler 13.
If you want an upgraded Ocean Kayak this isn’t it.
If you want a safe, stable kayak you can float on a river or lake, then it’s a good buy.
