Super fun yak, some limitations

I bought a used Freedom in 2016. Super fun, responsive, and fast to paddle. Closer to a SINK than a SOT in some ways, because of the Greenland style hull, with lots of rocker. I love the boat, but would caution that it is not the greatest for big people (250# or over) or touring. The front hatch and storage area is quite small; the back one medium. Far less storage than a Tarpon 160. It is also a bit of a wet ride - just one big scupper hole in the center of the cockpit, not far from the seat edge. I'm glad I bought it and plan on keeping it, but use a Tarpon 160 for fishing/touring.
