There are so many choices when trying to decide which recreational kayak to buy. I read many reviews and finally decided on the Old Town Vapor 10. I am very happy with this purchase. It is fairly light so not too bad to transport. I did get a wheeled carrier so I can move it myself. In the water it tracks very well and is stable. I especially notice the difference in tracking and stability compared to a "sit on" kayak and an inflatable "sit in" kayak that I have tried. A minor disadvantage is that it doesn't have a water tight compartment. I do like the notches to rest the paddle in. The seat is fairly comfortable (but I always use a flotation seat cushion). The adjustable foot supports are helpful. Getting in and out of a kayak on a high dock can be a bit challenging. I suggest watching some youtube videos before you go out. My first attempt at exiting was quite comical. It gets easier with practice. This is a nice kayak at a decent price. Dunham's has frequent sales on this kayak.
