    My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

    I liked the "You want some". I'm always modifying my boats to be more of how I use them. I built a small wooden boat once from blueprints. I changed the design lines to accommodate the weight of a motor and made in seat storage with covers instead of just a seat before I built it. i weighed 54 lbs when finished and painted and would hold 3 full grown people, (about 4oo lbs very easily. It was oar powered mostly and I caught everything from Largemouth Bass to a 4.5 ft Hammerhead Shark. One day a Snook, (20 lb, roommate) and a 4.75 ft Tarpon that I lost four ft from the boat after a 25 minute chase down after the fish almost spooled me, with my roommate on the oars. He jumped completely out of the water twice, straight up. I tightened the drag just a bit on my 6000 series spin reel with 17 lb test when the fish was just four feet from the boat and tired. The hook pulled immediately.

    @harold18659 3 года назад

    With all that stability you could put a all lawn chair( with nylon straps weighs about 2 lbs) and bungees to hold it down. I did this mod for offshore use. Stops the water hitting you as much running waves and easier to stand up and fish, cast or retrieve gear, saves a lot of wear and tear on the body.

    I don't believe you still read/answer comments, but use a quart ziplock to cover the gas can spout. It prevents the chance of water droplets and ultimately them getting in your outboard. Trust me on that one, its from experience. Also, you should flare the top of PVC rod holders. If you can't flare them because of their closeness, somehow dremel or angle the inside walls. PVC like that will damage your rod butts.
