4. What are the tradeoffs of this kayak?
Its slow, noisy, and if you don't have a seat cushion it is very uncomfortable (due to the recessed seating area).
5. What are the strengths of this kayak?
Storage
6. What is the one thing that keeps it above the rest in your mind?
It can be bought ready to fish
7. Anything else?
Mine leaked from all hatches. The most serious leak was through the center hatch. At my weight (215lbs) and with all my gear, the water level at the seat well scupper hole would reach the center hatch. I usually kept a scupper plug in, but if it came out I could get several gallons of water in my kayak. I ultimately traded it in for an extreme because of that.
