Two part review.
Kayak - First of all, I'm quite a plump guy. 5'8" 270lbs. Decided to get into kayak finally and I kinda went all out. Maybe half way. Good use of my bonus I suppose. I wanted a kayak to use it to get some excercise in while out fishing, but I was always worried about weight limit and tipping over. Throughout 2024 I was watching videos and reviews and I ended up with the Unlimited due to its weight limit, stability, and the amount of rail tracks. I wanted something customizable. I bought this last year just a little before the prize increase but I was not able to do anything until today. I live up in Wisconsin so the lakes were frozen or cold. All I can say is with all my gear, my yak attack crate and shortstack 16x16 filled to the max, my pivot drive, my almost empty gear pod, and some misc items, I was able to paddle decent well and pedal well. I was able to stand up too but I don't know about choppy water though. My chair with the nucanoe cushion was very comfortable. The seat does feel too high but I think any lower and my legs my lose circulation. It made paddling a bit odd. Now this is my first kayak and I can't compare but overall I'm satisfied. I will eventually power it but maybe next year. The pivot drive is doable but I think what others have said, there are better pedal drives. I did have to get out twice to take out weeds off my prop. Please improve on this instead of abandon it Nucanoe!!!
ECO Shop - You guys are awesome. Even after months, they were able to fix orders. I had orders from when I bought the Unlimited but have yet to open until recently and they were able to replace them free of charge and I even offer to ship back the wrong item but they told me to just keep it free of charge. I will mostly be getting my stuff from here, even though I'm a few state up North of them.
