    Love the vid brother. I'm planning to film mine tomorrow, I needed to put some hours in it and get my changes leveled out. Question - how are you carrying your net? This has been the biggest hang up for me gear wise making the change from the PA14. I plan to discuss why in my video but I'm curious how you are storing yours for use, especially if you are doing it different for us vs when you are underway.

    @@thebeardedpaddler Mine was catching on the bowinkle when laid on the hatch (this was how i did it on the PA) and my rod holders are usually full. I ended up using a double header but then the net is in the water. Friday I forgot to snap the double header bungees and lost it while underway. By the time I noticed it was floating somewhere that I could not locate it. I'm playing with some different ideas today.

    Friends dont let friends buy bonafide ESPECIALLY with their deceptive capacity ratings. Even if they change that, ill likely never buy another one because of being burned by it. Nice video as always.

    I agree! I found it sad that this kayak is so large yet the deck is pretty wet. The ss127 was drier even though it is shorter and narrower. Also I have long legs so the foot control rudder is useless to me because I have the foot pegs maxed out

    I thought this was gonna be my next kayak but after I test paddled it I was not impressed at all. I have long legs so I cannot use the foot control steering because the foot pegs do not extend out far enough to use comfortably. Also the deck was too wet for my liking, I believe the 500 capacity is not truthful. It also paddled like a barge compared to the Coosa x I ended up buying
