Pros & Cons
Pros
The instructions that. Quicj to inflate and deploy are well-written and well-thought-out. The only problem is that the valve is not easy to open and close.
This is the second intex excursion pro kayak we buy. It's very comfortable for a bigger guy like me (i'm 6'1 and 220lbs) lots of accessories, especially phone holder and fishing rod holder. Lots of modification ideas on youtube for fishing and buildin... Read More
Very durable, easy to paddle even when only one person. Con - paddles are not the strongest but do the trick. Some reviews mention the oars being weak or flimsy.
Very happy with the price and sturdiness of the product. Highly recommend it. The only regret i have is i bought it late in the season and the season is ending.
Cons
This product is not durable at all. The patches require glue and it is not included. The warranty is only for 90 days.
This is not what i bargained for. All the amazon representatives are soo rude.
Highlights
Quality
Very durable, easy to paddle even when only one person.

Price
This beaut was the best 250$ i spent on anything inflatable.
As lower price inflatables go, this probably gives you your best value.
It is great value for the money.
For the price though it is not out of expectation.
Shipping
I arrived at camp and pulled out the unopened box- hoping i had made the right decision.
Packaging/appearance
Packing takes longer than inflating since it's not easy to fold (use the pump on 'suck' to remove all the air and leave the valves closed).
Competitiveness
Compared to other inflatable kayaks we tested with our friends, this one is our favorite because it's long and moves faster.
I had the impression that intex just made cheap pool toys.

I am 6’4” tall and the adjustability of the seat placements for myself and my wife works well but the blow up seat cushions leave something to be desired

It’s hard to stay comfortable with little back support and the cushion losing air from a loose fitting plug over time
