Absolutely fantastic kayak, well made, and the chairs are a must for fishing or for a gentle paddle, it feels very stable even though I'm a 6'4" bloke sitting high off the deck, especially with the raised chairs. The storage space is just fantastic, I found myself putting all sorts in there, my phone started overheating at one point as it was so hot so I just put it in the water tight hatch, so convenient. The video for this kayak says you can't use an upgraded fishing seat in the middle, that is incorrect, I don't know why they've said that but I use it as a one man and there are slots for it to go in the middle easily and secure it down. If you are going from inflatable to solid like myself, it is a slight learning curve, it is heavy and you have to learn how to get it on and off your roof racks safely, it really helps to have someone do this with you as it is heavy, however it is still possible with one person, just watch some videos online, there are many ways to do this easily , I would recommend buying some wheels to transport it, they make it so much easier, and I would recommend Cambridge kayaks ratchet straps, they are strong and really well made, they looked really smart aswell as the fact that they were so easy to use. My kayak came with a slight tear in the hatch dry bag, but I contacted Cambridge kayaks and they sent a replacement next day no fuss! I am so pleased with this kayak, and it is the best price around brand spanking new!
