Strongly considering buying this kayak. I have a bad back, and believe the seat will be better than any sit-in kayak. However, the weight and flimsiness of the carry handles concern me. Dick's has them on sale for $350.

For the price you can’t beat it. I still use mine. Not a kayak for big guys but if you’re about 220 or less it’s really nice. Easily the best $350 kayak out there. Not even a close second at that price. If you want to jump up in price and stability that’s a choice you’d have to make.

The bracket at the center below the seat is to attach the bottom center strap to keep the seat from sinking if it is detached from the clips/kayak. It is supposed to attach loosely so the seat can still be adjusted while attached. The bungees on the back of the seat are used to keep the seat from folding forward. I attach them to the rear storage bungee cords. Apparently some models had attachment holes on the rod holders, but mine doesn't and it appears yours does not either.
@mikeheuer1276

Yep. It took me a little while to realize there is a strap underneath the seat that perfectly fits that hole and secures the seat to the kayak. Funny thing is, you can see the strap in the video and how it perfectly lines up with that bracket. I initially used it for the bungee cords.

I bought the same kayak at Dicks last year on cyber Monday. It was selling for $399 at that time. Dicks was giving 25% off if you bought it online. Saved $100. Went to the store and they bought it out to me. Great deal. However, I am only 5’5” tall. I find that reaching to the front of the kayak is a little difficult for me. And although I like the gear tracks, once again they are to far away for me. I have added a couple a little closer which made it better. I also find that I can’t find a really good position for my feet. One is too close while the other is too far away. I have an idea to make it better. Otherwise, it is a great kayak.

Good video as always. I have a Native Slayer 12 and it has pros and cons like any kayak would. But, a couple of things really stand out. The built on or in I guess, wheel on the back of the boat makes for extremely easy transport. Also, the seat that comes with the boat is very comfortable and it can be arranged in the low or high position. The storage is more than enough, but not too much if that makes sense. On the left and right of the seat there is room for one 6x9 inch box that can be strapped down if you prefer. There are two big deep storage areas, one at the front and back. It's stable, but like you said, not for a long time. Also, is that St.John's Marsh you were paddling through? I've always wanted to kayak there.

I bought a Teton 100 during the summer of '22 on sale for $330 mostly based on the seat. The paddle didn't come with it, so that cost another $50 or so. I bought a keel protector, scupper plugs, an anchor, a couple of rod holders for the side rails, and a handheld fish finder. Loads and unloads easily on the luggage rack on top of my Trailblazer. Bought a wheeled dolly that fits through the scupper holes so I can roll it a fair distance instead of dragging it. The biggest issue I have is finding fishing holes in the local reservoir during the summer months. Helps to learn where they are and where I can put the kayak in nearby to make it an easy distance to cover by paddling. No way I would fish while standing up. Took me a couple of outings to get a good feel for balancing it while seated.

Man. Sounds like a clunker 🤣👍 I’m so torn if I stay with this one, which I love, or move up to the Lifetime Yukon. I’d REALLY love to be able to safely stand even if there’s some waves but I really don’t want to trade off my speed and being able to car-top my ride. We’ll see. Right now I’m young enough where I don’t feel the need to constantly stand up and stretch. I can’t wait for your kayak review!: “Welcome to another edition of the Beard Zero Saga. Today, I’m reviewing my Pelican. It’s a piece of ****” …all said in your very easy going voice 🤣👍

It’s a pretty good kayak for the money but I definitely don’t like standing on mine.

No doubt. If I ever upgrade I’ll go up to the Yukon so that I can stand.

I'm looking to buy my 1st kayak sometime soon, and this model is close to the top of my list. I want to keep it under $500, and I plan to use it mainly for fishing, as well as some wildlife photography. Would a sit on top kayak be more stable than a sit in model as a platform for photography? I just turned 60 years old and I'm about 5'8" tall and 215 pounds.

Sit on top platforms are ABSOLUTELY more stable than sit in kayaks. Especially for what you want to do (photography) You’re not that heavy at all but you might want to look into a kayak with a slightly higher weight capacity. I’d say this kayak is the best for really lightweight guys. I’m only 180. This kayak would definitely work though. If you want to go slightly heavier the Lifetime Yukon is EXTREMELY stable and very affordable. Only downside is it weighs 20 more pounds. Hope you enjoy whatever you get 😀👍 EDIT: Sorry. The Yukon is $529. Thought it was cheaper.

I wouldn't buy this thing, it's junk! I was gonna pick up a couple of these for my daughter and son in law but after reading the reviews I passed. Spend a couple extra bucks and buy something that's gonna last and you'll be happy with. I have kayaks that are very stable, you can easily stand in them and fish all day long. You could never do that in this thing. One I picked up for $500.00 used, now sells for $3,400.00... shop around, there are some good deals out there.

Nice review. I just picked a Tamarack Pro. Almost bought a Teton. Been adding some stuff ready for a trip to St. Clair. Is that your Red Wings "winner" hat? LoL cause my Bluejackets "winner" hat doesn't work anymore

At least you guys know who your coach is 😂👍 Tamarack Pro is VERY comparable to the Teton. Should be a bit more sturdy since the weight capacity is 25 lbs more than the Teton. I think you’re really going to enjoy it. Glad to know I won’t be the only one on LSC in a tiny kayak this year. Everyone has power or pedals…I’m old school. And cheap 😂👍

@@TheMichiganFisherman Yup, got the yak at Walmart for $402 out the door. I wanted the Yukon but it would be hard to transport without a trailer That GM John Davidson is dumbass. PP Coach Brad Larson sucks so promoted him to head coach. Now the whole coaching staff sucks with young players that have potential. Red Wings GM Stevie is going fix the problems. I always liked Red Wings. Can't stand any other teams in their division. Especially Bruins, they got their ass beat in Gm1 last night lol

can you remove those orange rod holders and rotate them for a different angle? Also, I'm really liking this kayak but I'm 5'10" 225lbs and am worried about pushing the capacity too close with gear etc. Think this would handle it?
@TheMichiganFisherman

They’re screwed in so I’m sure you can remove them, but if you look at the shape, it’s made to be only at that angle. The shape and contours of the boat would prohibit it being at ANY angle.
