I purchased the 12T this Memorial Day Weekend (2020) and took it out fishing for the first time this past Sunday (06/07/20). I ALMOST sunk twice! I noticed I was having a hard time paddling as the kayak got heavier and heavier - just so happen to look back and the entire rear was just about under water.
I made it to the shore, pulled the plug, drained the water and put my plugs in, about 45 minutes later - SAME SITUATION! Pulled out and drained the kayak again. Got home - did a water test and dang it if it didn't have a HUGE leak in the left rear scupper hole.. RIGHT IN THE SEAM! The store will accept the return however, I may look at other kayak brand options. I will make sure to FULLY inspect the kayak before I purchase again.
Disappointed to say the least!
