 Very Sturdy Jun 28, 2009
By Maryboo
This kayak is very stable, sturdy, & looks great. I've used it for fishing but mostly use it for just cruising around the lake. The back is open, so some water does come in but I didn't mind because it kept me cool. I have another inflatable kayak (Tahiti), an inflatable canoe (Rio), & other inflatables & always come out wet, so its not a big deal.
If you're a diver, snorkeler, or like jumping in the water, this is a great inflatable. Nice carry bag & inflates in a couple minutes with hand pump. Very convenient.

 you'll get wet and stay that way May 02, 2009
By L. Williams
"l williams"
i liked the looks of this kayak. it looked very durable and it is. i also like the versatility and it paddles very well. but was some suprized when i took it out for the first time. the back end is open. i mean completely open!! so water comes in through the back and runs down through the sides. as you settle into the seat the middle section compreses and your back side gets wet and stays that way. i have been trying to figure out a way to get up out of the water ince i first took it out. if i had it to do over i would have gotten something differnt.

Use of Coral Sea Sep 03, 2009
By Randall F. Spencer

I have now used the kayak in the Chesapeake Bay, associated creeks and at Nags Head in calm ocean conditions. It has been a learning process. A hard shell kayak it is not and is somewhat sluggish, but with it inflated to maximum, it provides a fun ride without the hassle of carrying the real kayak with you. One has to lean forward slightly to help with tracking (keeps the bow lower in water). For the price and reason I bought it I am not disappointed.
Great for Exploring and a Great Deal for the Money $$$ Oct 08, 2010
By Robert M. Johnson
I read the other reviews before purchasing this and have to say "yes" you will get wet. If you are interested in this as a scuba or snorkel kayak, getting wet is not a particular problem. This little boat is a cross between a kayak and a zodiac. If you are looking for true inflatable kayak, you may want to look elsewhere.
That being said . . . . . this little boat is a heck of deal for the money. I bought it to paddle away from the beach and be able to dive those places that are just a little to far to swim. Before my first outing however, I decided to upgrade the setup and bought the optional motor mount and a new 2.5hp Mercury outboard. Never having mounted an outboard motor to an inflatable, I was a little concerned about whether the motor would just fall off, but everything seemed very well constructed and worked flawlessly. The boat itself is remarkably tough. It probably would not survive a dive knife or a rough reef through the bottom, but the outer skin is strong. The boat is also very stable for its kayak styling.
My first outing with the boat was the true test of stability and durability. **WARNING** I AM NOT SUGGESTING ANYONE ELSE SHOULD OR COULD DO THIS. EVER :) After picking an optimal day weather wise, I geared up the little Sevylor with the motor mount and the 2.5hp Mercury outboard and headed to a WWII shipwreck 2 miles offshore. The boat carried myself (about 170lbs) with Dive gear (BC, regulators, tank), kayak paddle and 1 gallon gas can in the back. In the front storage area I had mask/fins/snorkel, 32lbs of dive weights, 8lb anchor, ropes, dive flag, life jacket and a dry box with other equipment (VHF Radio, GPS, Camera, etc.). As the gear was pretty evenly distributed, the boat remained very stable throughout the entire voyage. After arriving at the dive spot and entering the water to don my gear, I checked the motor and mount and everything was still firm and snug. The walls of the boat were very firm and stable, which aided greatly in rolling the gear in and out of the boat and for me to enter/exit the boat. If you would like to see photos/video of the rig in action you can search Youtube for "Kayak Diving Target Ship."
The setup of the boat is pretty straightforward. Using a 120v Airhead pump, I had the whole thing set up in about 10 minutes. This boat is what it is, so some things to keep in mind: It is only about 9 feet long, do not use in heavy water. The open back will let a little bit of water in, but serves a much more important function in letting water OUT. It is a little sluggish to paddle compared to a hard hulled kayak, but with a little motor, cruises along. The best feature (why I bought it), PORTABILITY!! This boat, the outboard motor and all of my dive gear fit in the trunk of my car. This gives you the opportunity to dive or snorkel a far greater area than shore diving alone.
