My dad bought one for my son last year. Great kayak for fishing and duck hunting, very stable. That is about all the good I have to say about them.

The handle D loop on the bow and stern will break the first or second time you pick them up. These boats are very heavy, and the D loops are plastic. Dan has an in for good metal ones that work.
Kayak is a TANK, very heavy, and you have your work cut out for you paddling that thing against ANY wind.
Supposed to be able to run as a Tandem with two adults. BULLSHIT!!!!
-Saturday we went duck hunting, we had some decoys (dozen mallard) and our shotguns. We took on water SO FAST that we almost did not make it. We paddled about 1/4 mile and had well over 30 gallons of water in the hull. Another 50 feet and we would have sunk.

All in all, if it is going to be a solo kayak, or a small child as the second passenger, it will do just fine. Stable, easy to stand in. Great for freshwater lakes, ponds, and the delta. Be prepared to have a very heavy kayak, and do not try to put two adults in the kayak. I am worried about taking this into the ocean because it is so hard to paddle against wind or strong current.

Not a tandem. It is a great platform for a purpose, personally, it isnt practical. Way too heavy and a slug to paddle. But if you want a stable yak with tons of space, it's for you. Hunting it is ok, I only say that due to mobility of the yak. A pedal drive for a grand is available, havent tried it yet.
