Patrick i have the FS12T witch is the model below yours, i bought it used and I love it, no complaints. You got the trolly witch is crutial cause its surprisingly heavy. I fish only saltwater and mainly inshore.
Just got mine yesterday and I had the same issue with the width of the Kayak and the seat in the Highest position. I thought it was due to my ratchet straps squeezing the yak and thought it would just widen on its own. Today the seat fit better.. but still is too close to popping out at the rear seat groove. :( Thanks for the video. I agree for the price, the winners are us!
Hey Scott - yea man I still have it, can't wait for ome goo weather to get back out there! Mad Mike - I agree with you assessment of these yaks, for sure the price point and overall quality, I couldn't be happier. Didn't know about the recycled milk jugs bit, now I feel so environmentally conscious! Can't believe how many people have viewed these videos, crazy. When I was searching for info about this specific kayak I think I found two videos, so the point of my videos was just to get more info out there, seems there was a need for it. glad people are viewing. When the weather is better, I'm in Massachusetts, I will be doing some more videos. The wife got me a waterproof camera last year, so I feel better about filming some stuff rather than holding my phone and worrying about dropping it. And yea, the "T" for TOP makes too much sense that it went right over my head, lol.
Keith Carson The seat is fine, comfortable, and the bungie cords only really come into play when transporting the yak which even then I have had no issues. When your seated, the base of the seat is in specific grooves depending on your height or comfort and the seat doesn't move at all unless you want to swivel.
Well, what kind of stuff would you like to know? I have been using it every weekend and love it. I haven't made another video because I didn't know what else to say about it. Ask me some specifics and I can answer them for you.
Patrick Gordon I purchased one a little of a week or two ago. I am not disapointed it's not that slow. Imeanyou need longer paddles a long paddle stroke and strong back and arm muscles to pull and push hard. I go faster than my buddy on his 12' fishing yak and it's much slimmer, I also go faster than my buddy on a 10' aruba sundolphin sit in kayak.
'" Too dam big for my truck" FUCKING GREAT!!!

Nice Yak man. Im going to be picking up my first one. . I decided on the Pescador 12 Sport, but this one definitely made my short list.
Hey, I would love it if you can show more videos or more opinion about this kayak. I really wanna more about it. thanks
Can you make a video on how it tracks in a current or in rough water
2 quick questions:
1. How heavy is it, can one person car top load and unload?
2. How is the stability, can you stand for any length of time?
What's the true length? I have been looking around some sites say 12.8 feet and and some say smaller
Nice video!
Do you still like the Yak
Do you still have it? How did the seat hold up? I've heard it's only kept in by bungee cords...

I hear there is lots of flex in the deck has this been an issue for you?
how slow is this, I have heard it's very slow.
+WooglesOutdoors It's definitely slow, lol.
It's kind of like a Cadillac tho where the ride is so comfortable that it makes up for it!
