I have had two since mid 2016. There are a couple of things. Weight...50 lbs is not a easy one to launch. Secondly, on a flat lake its a bit sluggish, some track left or right on their own. Straps and gadgets get in the way some, but have purpose. And for the complaint. The seats. The up and down backrest will fall over the stops if your a big person and push back in your seat. You can't fix it while your Yaking. I have replaced all the parts and still happens often, every trip out. Great concept, bad plastics used, too flexible.
