The Mariner 124 is simply put the "best money can buy". The blend of price, durability, looks and overall experience is unparalleled. This kayak is literally the most stable platform in the water. I never feel like I am going to tip… unless I want to for fun. In comparison, my old kayak on river trips I would fall at least once guaranteed. While my friends in the Future Beach Mariner 10.4 the old versions of the Mariner 124 never tipped.

One last thing if you're like me and a larger person, your will want this kayak. After jumping off my Mariner and getting back in gracefully I am fully convinced. Along with the capacity being 300 lbs. Trust me when your friends are jumping in the lake on a 90 degree day. You're stuck because you know you can't get back into your kayak you will regret buying any other kayak.

I should mention the kayak has great storage for entry level kayak. The two compartments do well at holding water out. I found this feature helpful opposed to my last kayak the storage was so bad I always lost cargo when I tipped.

Ergonomics of the kayak are supremely designed. When I heard that the kayak was extremely stable my first reaction was that it must be slow and unmaneuverable. False, again in comparison to my old kayak I found the mariner 124 to be extremely maneuverable. A must own for any person wanting to fish.

In conclusion, if you want the best kayak money can buy under $500 get the Mariner 124. I recommend it because it is so stable, maneuverable and looks awesome!
