I picked up a Vapor 10 about 2 years ago. It's my first kayak. I've had canoes for most of my life, but was looking for something that was easy to handle alone. And this fit the bill perfectly for me.

I'm a pretty big guy: 6'2" & 270 lbs. So i needed something that wouldn't sink when I got in it, as well as something I could get in & out of without trying to squeeze through too small of an opening. I have no problem with the seat most of the time. But the days when I spend hours on the water & would like a little more padding & lumbar support.

Mine tracks fine & is very stable. But it's not very fast. That's not a problem for me because I use it mainly in creeks where I can take advantage of the current to move along at a fair clip without having to work too hard.

I've looked into a few different models in this price range. But the Vapor 10 was one of a few that was rated to handle my bulk. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. I only wish I could spend more time on the water in it.
