Just purchased one of these, after much research. I simple chose it because I didnt want to invest too much in my first fishing kayak, as well as being an older female. I knew that i would encounter some issues with the rudder being on the bottom, but i figured that i would be able to find a video somewhere to combat the issue I am encountering. How does one solo load this onto their car without messing up the rudder. I am a visual person and cannot find a video anywhere. I have even tried to find a decent native video for this issue.

I typically load it up rear first, I lay a blanket across my car, pick the back up and set it on, then move the the front and shove it on up, then twist it to center it on the racks

Looks great but only thing I don't like is that hatch right behind the seat, make it hard to put a box to hold your tackle boxes. I like mine behind my seat so I can reach back to grab stuff, maybe because I have short arms lol. Other than that bro looks great, looking forward to some vids of you out on the water with it.
