This is my first kayak, I've owned many other types of boats and wanted to do some fishing in the no wake areas of the lower Colorado River. After looking around a bit I found this kayak to be the best for my money in a price range that didn't break the bank. The kayak has everything I needed to get started and is easy to add things to as I find it need them, The only thing I had to do is seal all the faster holes with silicone. My other suggestion would be for the manufacturer to redesign the skeg without the wheel and just make it a replaceable drag surface a little wider
