Very nice review. I am a newbie to kayaking and have a bad back. I bought this exact kayak (same color scheme) yesterday as I wanted a high quality, lightweight sit on top with framed seat. On my brief demo I found this kayak to be very stable. I hope it goes through the water as efficiently as I had expected when buying it. Key question on the weight: is the 45 pounds with or without the frame seat. Thanks.
Am I pushing the limit of this boat weighing 210? I know the capacity is 275, bit minus the weight of the boat and having some gear with me seems like I'm getting close to being too heavy. What's your opinion? Thanks!
What’s your height? After 6’2” you might find it tight on the footbraces. Also, depending on the type of waters you will mostly paddle. For bigger waters I’d go with the 14. Lakes and little rivers, the 12’ could work well. See Headwaters Kayak vids. He’s about your weight and reviews the C12.
@@HappyPaddlin thanks for the reply! I'm only about 5'10, so the height shouldn't be an issue. Just worried that at 210 with some gear I may be pushing the limits. Unfortunately I can't store the 14 footer...
New to kayaking. What brand are those stands? And would the suffice as storage platforms in an indoor area? Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful!
Not exactly sure what you are after here but if it is a single 20’ plus sit on top then you should check out brands like stellar, stealth, epic, etc. For a big 22’ tandem, Check out Current Designs and Seaward and Melker of Sweden.

I love my Caribbean 12FS, truly a delight to use. :)

When was the last time you saw a kayak review show and talk about the kayak hull - the most important feature of a kayak? Well done.

Will the tank well hold a 16" x 16" BlackPack?
Sorry for the delay. Yes!

Those are Suspenz stands and REI has them. They work great for indoors or on the move.
What is your 22ft. Flagship?
Any advice very much appreciated 👍 🙏

Wait. It comes with untethered styrofoam blocks as part of the structure of the boat?
They are fused in with the same stuff the boat is seamed with. Never had them come out since the boat was first introduced.
