Lifetime Daylite Kayak

I, we like the product but was miss 6 skupper plugs for them that were not shipped and one was kinda damaged with a pretty good dent in it afraid of future use may cause problems, had shipping problem from start not able to track shipping , feel as if problem of plugs should at least be taken care of , that two of the products we received

I plan on loading the kayak on my duck boat for retrieving decoys as I hunt a muddy bottom marsh. I painted it with RustOliem cameo paint that is rated to bond to plastic. I found that had to sand the Kayak to get the paint to bond. I weigh 205lbs and with waders jacket I am pretty close to the 250lb limit it sits pretty low in the water. I have tested decoys that are Texas rigged and float behind the kayak, it works on low or no wind days. It's a slow process but much faster than walking through mud bogs.

Kayak is comfortable and easy to maneuver. Not fast, flat bottom, very stable in flat water. Great for fishing and relaxing kayaking. Not designed for river running. Lots of room for gear and medium size dog or kid. Back rest, paddle, carry sling, and storage hanging wall pegs included. Easy to double stack, and not hard to carry from truck to water. Lots of bang for your buck.

Very happy with this 'yak. I'm a beginning kayaker, 60 y/o, 5'11" and 200#. My #1 requirement was stability. This kayak fits the bill. I don't feel like I will tip over. Comfortable for a tall person, as I can stretch my legs out. This kayak is not fast, so if you want speed, this one is NOT for you. It's great for paddling around in calm water and enjoying the view. The bottom is pretty flat with ridges running down the length, making for great stability. The back deck is large and the bungee hooks are covered. PROS: VERY stable; adjustable paddle; adjustable seat; cup holder; large back deck; carry strap; great price. Used "site to home" for free delivery. CONS: Can be unwieldy to portage, as only handle is the one on the bow. There appears to be a "handle" molded into the middle to help moving it. I'd like it MUCH better if there were handles on the rear or on the sides, for ease in portage. I'll be getting additional handles to help me carry it. Comes with 4 scupper plugs (there are 5 scupper holes). I recommend getting padded paddle grips. I found that after paddling @1 hour that I started to get blisters from the paddle. Padded grips really helped. Very happy with this product.

Not much in the way of frills but the kayak seems solidly made of essentially the same material as the $1000 big name sit on top kayaks. The built in seat back is surprisingly comfortable and it is nice that it folds flat out of the way when being stored. The boat is stable and tracks well for its size. I like the fact that is only about 40 pounds and is pretty easy to move around. I also like the flat back for standing it up against a wall for storage. The paddle is very basic but what do you expect for this price and it does what it needs to do. This kayak will fill itself with water if left upside down for a significant period. Even the seat back has a small hole that will let water in. Not that it was intended to be used that way, but kids will be kids. I drained all the water and smeared clear silicone caulk around all the rivets and in the seat hole. Used it upright for about an hour and it stayed totally dry inside.
