I can tell you that I have examined this yak in person, fairly extensively. It has the right idea but is still far from a polished product. I would wait for the next generation of these. When Bass first released their original Ascend Kayaks (SOT & sit in) they were OK. They learned, and copied what others were doing and produced a much better product on their following tries. This yak is somewhere between trying to be a PA and Jackson Coosa or something. Looks like it will be a pig to paddle. It does however, look to be a perfect candidate for a trolling motor, although at 84lbs and only a 350lb max cap you'd have to be very selctive with how you would rig it. Perfect for the freshwater. All in all, there are many cool features of the yak but there is definitely room for improvement.
