I have the Crew, a two person boat. I love it. I am disabled and have no issue moving it through the water on my own. If I ever buy another it will be a crescent too.

I like mine. I think he hit the nail on the head, its a recreational fishing hybrid. Paddles great is stable enough to stand in. I do wish they would give you the deck pad for your money and also mold in a recess for a transducer under the front scupper plug hole. As it is you can do an in hull mount and it comes out pretty clean. Its my go to boat for the river. If I can knock it for one thing that is the hatch is not water tight from the factory. I had to add a gasket to form a double seal. Don't park it with the nose facing down hill either I found out or water will puddle on the front of the hatch and pour in if it rains. Nothing is perfect but this boat does a lot of things really well. I dig the company and the fact its American made. It's very customizable and has a nice open deck design. It may be the best on the market for fly fishermen.

I did the same thing to keep it water tight im thinking about adding 4 clamp latches to keep it super tight I welded a transom plate to hold my mk 55 thrust thinking about using a heat gun to widen the center Chanel so I can put my transducer in it an keep it safe ......... enjoy your kayak bro

I have had a Crescent LT for 2 years picked it up off headwaters kayak on sale for $699 and it's definitely been worth it. I fish off the coast of California and have hit some 6-8ft swell days with no problems whatsoever. Have only flipped/flopped once and it was a me issue and the LT stayed upright surprisingly. Definitely would recommend it. Also it's a good workout getting it on and off your truck rack 😂🤙.

My first kayak and it's amazing. Holds me being 220 lbs + my 5 year old daughter easily plus whatever else I need... Can stand and paddle when I feel like it as well. Love the open space deck too which is great for fishing. Ended up with 2 of them but recently sold one to try out a Tarpon 120. Don't think I'll be getting rid of my one Lite Tackle though since it's such a well made kayak that'll last forever.

An impresive little yak. It's a mark I did not know about. The front hatch did not look watr tight as the lip behind it seemed to high to allow drainage. A little waterproofing would be needed if going into the ocean. the layout was great and the number of scuppers was also impressive. Good content and keep'em coming.

That watersnake side mount would fit perfectly on the flat spot behind the seat. A rod mount on the other side facing forward for taking fish off the line, perfect. Does Crescent make a tub to drop into the front hatch? That would make a perfect battery/tackle box area. A fish bag on the hatch and I am fishing the deep water...lol

@@ryanjewell9832 I have both boats and the Crescent beats the Bonafide in maneuverability and tracking any day of the week. Paddling speed is very comparable IMO, unless you are paddling into the wind. Then the Bonafide has a slight edge.
