I bought 2 of these for my children (11 & 13). My girlfriend has the exact same one and is the reason I picked these up for my kids. They're very stable, track well and easy to use. Our 40lbs dog sits on the back without issue. Can't go wrong for the price. I just need to install fishing rod holders now cause the kids want to fish as well.
This is my first kayak. It's very stable, tracks well and is an ease to control. The 3 rod holders all function well. I was able to troll without issues. It was on sale for $249 plus I had a 25% off coupon so out the door $175. I'm so happy with it I wish I could get some angler style kayaks for my kids.
