I started with the same kayak. You're asking for trouble. I had to "Man Up" and deal with some serious crap while saving for a pa, best upgrade ever. #1 it leaks like a sieve (re-gooped all holes but hatches still leaked.) #2 slow paddle, you cannot take on much current without serious maximum effort. #3 seat is a back breaker, took gf on one trip and she refused to go again. I couldn't go fish more than 4 hours without missing work with back issues, cost me at least 2-3 days of work after going too far. #4 Not the best for waves. My feet and legs were wet 100% of the trips I went on. Not cool for winter temps. #5 just run, don't do it. Other than that I caught lots of fish including a huge BSB but at what price? I was miserable and watched the good yaks fly by while I was working my azz off. Im glad to see you commented on not purchasing this one although you can get your 2 bills back pretty easy selling it.
