Pros & Cons
Pros
Very maneuverable and easily moves through the water with little effort. I've only paddled in calm waters on our lake so far. Pull handles at front and back also allow me to drag it to the water in the sand once i get off the boardwalk.
I love this boat altho it is a bit narrower than the pelican argo. It tacks well and is a fun kayak to paddle! For some $15 mods you can add some much needed foam to and make a great easy improvement to.
The bottom has a modified v shape hull so it’s a little more tippy than a heavy, flat-bottomed sitontop kayak. It is difficult to not tip. This kayak is lightweight, but stable.
It's fairly lightweight so i can load it and carry it myself. The only negative is that the handle line snapped on my wife's kayak on 3rd carry and for me it was 1st carry. It's lightweight, so it's easy to lift to lift on top if my small suv.
Cons
Flips instantly. Poor tracking & flimsy. Not recommended. I believe it was intentionally deceptive.
Stable more like a floating log. Limited storage makes it difficult for longer excursions.
Highlights
Quality
Great stability and comfort rolled into one.
Comfortable seat, adjustable footrests, waterproof storage, netted cargo storage, and a cup holder!
If you read the 1 & 2-star ratings, the real complaints those folks had was the 'stability'.
Fills easily the first time a wave hits so be warned.
Price
Overall these are nice boats that for some $15 mods you can add some much needed foam to and make a great easy improvement to.
All this for not a lot of money.
However, it is inexpensive and you get what you pay for.
At a cost of $300-$400 depending on when, where, and what discounts are available, you get a good little entry kayak.
Shipping
The river was moving pretty quickly and it handled a couple class one rapids with ease.
We were so happy we got them early, we have been enjoying them ever since.
Found a shipping invoice inside from a door company , and no invoice for me.
Showed up when they said even after ceva sent an email saying it would be delivered the day after.
Packaging/appearance
It was wrapped well and did not have any scratches or dents.
Arrived in a plastic wrap and no damage.
The only reason that it is t in the water now is because it came with water in it, due to the packaging being torn which also a... Read More
The kayak was wrapped in bubble wrap and plastic with extra to reinforce each end.
Competitiveness
If this is currently more than $300 on amazon, there's probably no reason to purchase this one, as you can get the pelican band... Read More
), but very similar pelican models will cost you upwards of $400 elsewhere.
There are very minor differences in the mustang and the maxim but my comments are general and apply to both models.
