I got the h12 back in July and love it. Haven’t got the blind yet, hopefully by the time duck season is here I will have it. I have been taking it out to see what it can handle. Very stable, I have taken it in 20mph wind and handled great. Rowed with the waves, against, into, at angles and was stable. The fastest I have gotten it was 5mph, and it was all I could do to get there. Average is 3mph. Your not gunna win any races but you will get there. I will have about a 1-2 mile treck and across open water depending on how much rain we get. The roads get pretty muddy and hard to travel.

You're not supposed to think it through like that. You're spose to go "cool I'll buy two". Imagine your dog had to fetch six times. My dog brings about a gallon of water into the boat each trip.

We never lay out in open water because it isnt a good enough hide to finish mallards. There's always vegatation around us to keep the boat in place.

All of our layout hunting is in shallow water. So they just jump back in. I wouldn't hunt if it were over my head. If it were waist deep I would either pull her in by the collar or get out and help her back in.

Last year I shot at a goose from a NuCanoe Kayak I was leaning back to far to the side after I shot my gun I flipped over into the river lost my NEW AUTO SHOTGUN and my paddle, it was in February about 20 degrees out I had my chest waters on I was very scared, lucky my friend was on the bank he had to run to his house to get a rope to pull me in lucky the Kayak did not get away from me or I would not be here right now. river was about 10 to 12 feet deep. so im looking at the H12 Ascend sit in, im thinking this wont happen with this being a sit inside VS sitting on top of the Frontier 12 Kayak.. we are both 60 years old..
