KL Industries 10-Foot Water Quest Deluxe Fishing Kayak

Bought two of these on sale in 'angler' version at big box. One was perfect but other had issues. The good part: The yaks handled pretty good for short recreational style kayak desiged for stability not touring speed. I saw other reviews claiming hard to track-- not so if you know how to paddle. I had no problems but novice 14 yo in other yak was all over lagoon until he began to 'get' not to dig too deep with the blade and take shorter strokes-- deep long uneven strokes cause yak to yaw, any yak. Muscling the yak with harder strokes won't work, short even strokes will. It also takes time to 'get' how to adjust for wind but he's working on it.

KL Industries 10-Foot Water Quest Deluxe Fishing Kayak
I have rented kayaks in the past and decided to buy one. Not sure what I wanted, but something about this one felt right. I was not disappointed! This kayak actually fits in my trunk (I just put one of the rear seats down and slide it in from the back) A bungi cord holds the trunk down and even though the end of the kayak sticks out it is very secure. (A foam "noodle" protects the kayak where the trunk lid comes down on it).
Lots of room in this kayak for long legs and a very comfortable seat. Tracks nicely and moves along well in the water.
Very stable - not the least bit tippy which is great when you have a fish on the line or when you have to turn around to catch that perfect picture. Yes,I'm confident enough to bring along my camera.

This kayak is just how I wanted it to be. It's perfect! It came with a paddle and everything. All I need is the straps to tie it down. :)
