I’ve owned two of these kayaks for over 15 years. They are used on the Eastern Chesapeake Bay and tributaries. We have also fished from them. They are comfortable and fit well (5’ 0’, 105 #; 5’7”, 124#). Tippy for new or infrequent paddlers, as reported by friends who gave them a try. Only one hatch. We use them for day paddles, and use flotation bags in the bow. I would recommend this design and these kayaks for smaller paddlers .
