16 customers mention11 positive5 negative

Customers are mixed about the durability of the kayak. Some mention that it's super stable, durable, and well made, while others say that it just didn't seem sturdy enough for the long-haul. The flat bottom design provides great stability for tipping. However, some customers say that the kayak is not quite as stable as they were hoping for, and that the molded seam broke first time out.

"...I love this kayak! It is very stable and I love that you sit down in it where as most SOT you are up on the top with a seat back held up by straps...." Read more

8 customers mention2 positive6 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the water resistance of the kayak. They mention that the seat fills with water, the hull starts to fill up with water and that water comes in the scuppers instead of flowing out. They also say that there is no drainage in the inset seat cockpit, so they'll have to bail any slop.

"...I was too heavy for it.When I sat in it, water came in the scuppers, instead of flowing out...." Read more

"...No need for plugs as it stays dry. Takes more effort than my Old Towne but tracks quite well. Mine came with an OK paddle...." Read more

"Fit & finish OK, layout fine, but no drainage in inset seat cockpit-- you'll have to bail any slop-over from waves, wakes etc. Sending it back...." Read more

Best Bang for the Bucks....
I have had this Sun Dolphin Bali 12ft for a year now. I shopped online extensivley to find one that would fill my special needs. Its the lightest one available. 45#. Open bow offers more storage and comfort for my JR Terrier. Yes I installed side handles to lift it with . Not a big deal.Tracks well .... Especially if you know the correct way to use your paddles.Cons:No seat pad on bottom, which is ridiculous since. Its the low point and you will get a wet butt if you take in waterplan to spend extra for a suitable seat $$$$No scupper holes but a sponge works great Decals will peal off ...I can live with thatMy first Kayak and im hooked . it goes with me on my Rv Vacations. I recently added a Anchor Trolley and rod holders so I can go fishing with it I'm small 5' old 65+ and female trying to find a nice stable kayak that I can load into the back of my truck is a challange. The price was the Bonus $385. Including shipping I'm happy with my choice and have really enjoyed this KayakP
