Just wanted to provide an update on this kayak since I've fished out of it a few times now:

This kayak evidences quality construction, is stable, sits you high up for a kayak, tracks well enough, is fast to inflate and deflate with quality Boston valves, and is easy to portgage and get in and out of.
But for all that, I simply cannot recommend this kayak -- it paddles like you're dragging an anchor behind it. It is very slow and your range will be limited unless you're also looking for a real workout. I still intend to fish out of it but only when I know I'm in an area where I don't intend to go far and can fish most of the time. Sad but true.
