Really stable and secure
I wanted an inflatable so I can tuck it into the storage space in my travel trailer. And I wanted the accessory rails to add a fish finder, transducer and safety flag/light. This is actually much better than I expected. The side pontoons inflate first (each individually) then the floor followed by the bow and stern bags. Absolutely no chance of being stranded if, say, you puncture one with a fishing lure (yes I did). I highly recommend, and at REI you get 10% off a paddle and PFD with the purchase of the kayak, so rig it up!
Pretty nice kayak
For clarity, I'm no expert in kayaks. Also, this is sort of a fusion between a kayak and a canoe I think. This boat is pretty easy to set up, with about 10 minutes being a decent average time. The beam is real wide which makes it real stable on the water, even in heavy rollers, but that wide beam makes it very hard to carry by yourself without a trolley. I'm 6'2", 250(ish) pounds, and I feel very comfortable with this. Now, when I first got this boat, the very first time I sat in it, both the plastic seat adjustment tabs broke right off the bat, so I spent the first couple of minutes tying the seat into a seat shape, however Advanced Elements support had more robust parts to me in the mail within a week. The pictures show a ton of things put on the aluminum braces, and looking at the way those are set up, some of that is definitely mocked up for a picture, or you are just not planning on ever taking your kayak down all the way often. I haven't stood up in this kayak yet because I haven't had the need to, but this boat is so stable that I don't think it'd be an issue, especially with the drop-stitch floor. I did test out the primary and secondary stability on this, and I can't get it to secondary as I'd need to rope off to the other side like a wind surfer. The storage is great in this, a full cooler in the back, or a small cooler and a tackle box will fit with no issues. There are plenty of lash down points so you don't drop anything. The tarp on the nose took a bit of a beating the first time I used it by riding it up on a concrete boat ramp, but it's not leaking, just a little frayed. The skeg rides deep, especially with a heavier (me) pilot, so you need to be in about a foot of water at least before it's afloat. That is not a big deal as you are going to get wet anyways paddling.
StraitEdge Angler PRO Inflatable Kayak
I've used the Kayak a few times now this Summer and it has performed very well. It is very stable, well designed and engineered. It tracks very well. Inflates easily. As with all inflatables use common sense and don't overinflate. This Kayak is rated to handle Class II rapids but could easily handle a Class III. We have experienced no issues when Kayaking in the full Sun.
Sun split seams
We loved this so much that we bought a second one but then on a long hot sunny day with time on the lake and pulled on shore both of these expanded to the point where they bubbled and split apart. No they were not overinflated. Thank goodness we purchased from REI because they took both boats back.
