Description

Not only is this Kayak affordable and compact, it is extremely maneuverable in white water, as well as forgiving for those bumps against the rocks or other debris. The SVX200DS is very stable due to the inflated floor, you are actually floating on the floor with the pontoons as stabilizers. The floor is constructed using drop stitch technology which can be inflated to 7psi making it very rigid as well as flat. The pontoons are made of a 1000 denier fabric reinforced material that will also inflate very firm (3psi) as well as make the boat very light. There are directional strakes on the bottom to help with tracking in flat water conditions. There is a fanny pack/drink holder on the back of the seats that can be removed for a walk on the beach. Built for many years of reliable service. Backed with a factory warranty of 1 year.

Great Cheap IK Jun 22, 2009 By Sean D. Neves
It's done up to class IV+ just fine. A few notes:

1) The material is very durable and should hold up for years of service.
2) Inflate the drop-stiched floor to at least 6psi to avoid a wet butt, especially if you pull out the self-bailing plugs. And bring the included pressure gauge on every trip.
3) This boat rides low and because of the thinner floor, you're gonna get wet, which means it's also pretty stable. Plugging the bail-holes will increase your load capacity. I wouldn't load this boat with more that 400 lbs.
4) On my boat, the floor has nice 'real' valves and the tubes have crappy boston valves. I've seen a few in stores that have all real valves. I haven't had a failure yet, but I bring extras just in case. I am considering having the local shop put in all real valves.

I got this because I do a lot of self-supported multi-day river trips. It's big enough for the job and has done Desolation and the upper Green below Flaming Gorge (A, B and C). Red Creek rapid was at 5000 cfs because of a damn-release and was ripping at class IV with some tight turns and fast water. I was wet, but the boat did great.

Sevylor River X K2 Jul 25, 2010 By Ned
We bought this kayak last year. It had a defective seam and the boat was replaced by Coleman (Sevylor) immediately. We use it on the Colorado River from Grand Junction west into Utah. It's easy, simple, boat-in-a-bag. Great for day trips. Room for two smaller coolers and dry bag.Our last trip was 11 miles. Easy in-and-out from the water. Light weight is handy at the landings. A great value compared to other inflatables on the market!

Excellent value Aug 28, 2009 By N. D. Bradley
I bought a pair of XK2 (tandem) inflatable kayaks for a multi-day trip down the San Juan River in Utah this summer. We had a party of seven paddlers and the river featured rapids up to Class III, which were a tad nastier than normal because of the lower-than-usual water flow. The lower water also presented a lot more rocks and snags than are typically found there. In short, this was a good place to test the XKs and put them through their paces. Although most of our group gear was hauled on a pair of larger and tougher SOAR rafts, we still ended up using the Sevylor XKs to haul 2-3 dry bags and/or jerry cans each, AND carry two paddlers. In short, we really beat the crap out of these kayaks, working them down moderate white water and dragging them across rocks and shoals while fully loaded. They were also subjected to that most-treacherous of all river threats: teenagers. Our youngest paddlers thrashed them through and through without mercy. As a baseline comparison, we also had one of the cheaper, vinyl Sevylors along as an extra "duckie." The difference between these two lines of products is otherworldly.

In a nutshell, the XKs performed extremely well on the San Juan. Granted, the San Juan isn't a Class VI white water deathride, but if you've ever been on it during late summer you also know it offers ample surprises and "gotchas." We really worked these kayaks hard and the Sevytex material held up superbly. The material is not as robust as Hypalon, but damn near it. Abrasive wear was minimal at the end of the trip, and we never sprung a single leak (although the cheapo, vinyl duckie did leak, as expected). Handling with the XK is reasonably responsive for a two-person inflatable; certainly for white water it's fine if both paddlers know how to work together. The seats and foot rests are very well designed and comfortable, although you can expect a wet butt on any kind of white water, with or without the scuppers closed. On the other hand, the lower ride and center of gravity are what give this kayak its stability. Before trying to install the foot rests, be certain to wet them; otherwise, they are hard to work with. The cargo rings are robust and worked well as tie-downs--none pulled out or weakened.

Under the category of "minuses" I would place first the scuppers, which did keep our paddlers dry while closed on flat water stretches, but which are awkwardly designed and difficult to configure. (A simple, screw-on/screw-off cap would be better.) The other thing which peeved me was the crappy pump hose that comes with the otherwise-excellent pump; the hose crimps easily. These seem like minor problems alongside an excellent design, but little things DO matter, especially when you're miles from nowhere. The kit comes with a manometer, which seems like an unnecessary luxury and expense. (I simply squeeze the pontoons and listen to valves to check my air pressure--it's quick and sufficiently accurate.) I would much rather see Sevylor ditch the fancy manometer and put in a decent pump hose.

To summarize, the XK represents a major advancement over the cheaper "pool toy" tier of vinyl Sevylor inflatables--stay away from those on rivers. The Sevytex construction material is all that Sevylor says it is: extremely tough, rugged stuff. The seams, being welded rather than glued, are extremely strong and did not leak once on our trip, despite the snags and numerous rocky encounters. I am looking forward to using these again on future river trips and would recommend them to anyone needing to accommodate extra paddlers on a multi-day river outing. I would also trust one of these for a lightweight "floating backpack"-type trip without all the heavy group kitchen gear, etc. They are reliable and--compared to many inflatable kayaks of this class--an unbeatable value for the money.

[My experience level (to qualify this review): 30-plus years of outdoor treks; five years as a professional guide; 8 kayaks/rafts owned.]

Don't buy this Jun 24, 2008 By B. Hinkle "rivergirl"
This is a horrible product for the price. The second time I used it the valve broke. I returned it to the store and they told me it was a manufactures defect. Since I bought it on sale, they wouldn't replace/fix it. The removable floor is just plain silly it's one more piece of equipment that has the potential to get misplaced.
They claim it is a self-bailing boat, but I found that not to be the case, I usually just pulled over and flipped it over to dump the water.
If you are looking for something on flat water like a lake this will work fine, but I still think it's an absurd price. If you are looking for something to take on a river or some place with a current or rapids DO NOT BUY this product, your money will be better spent on an NRS.
Sevylor's quaility has gone way down. I would give it NO STARS, but the review doesn't allow for that. Having seen the boats my friends have gotten for the same amount of money, this is a complete rip off.

excellent kayak Nov 16, 2009 By Adrian C. Dediu "adicata"
excellent product, very versatil-I'm using it on both, rivers(New River WV) and lakes.It works great for white water( tried class III max); the bottom is solid, I hit a few rocks and got stuck on others but no damages so far. On lakes is not so fast as a hard shell obviously but still you get a good workout. One critical observation: mount a directional stabilizer to get the kayak go straight while paddeling, $[...]-see link [...], their glue quite works, still on after 1 year.
