I know most guys would never look at an inflatable kayak as an option, but this kayak shouldn't be overlooked. This was my first kayak. I have owned it for 4 years and I still use it on trips. Its convenient and easy to go on trips with. Granted over the 4 years I have had to put 2 patches on it but both were my fault. I have hit clams with it and sharp sticks and nothing punctured it.
The sea eagle 330 is inexpensive and on calm waters with good balance you can even stand on it. I have even used it for kayak surfing. It is almost impossible to flip too you will fall out before it flips.
I understand that its still an inflatable but it is even more durable that it looks if you feel the material its made of you would know its not some cheap rubber inflatable. Mine has gone through some hard use and a lot of trips. If you buy this you wont be disappointed.
The SE330 also can hold 500 pounds. I have had it loaded with me another person plus gear without a problem. It also has a lot of space on the inside more than enough room for any gear you would want to bring. There is also a self bailing valve for whitewater.
Because of the self bailing valve, tons of space, free repair kit, tuff material, and good seats I gave it 4 stars for features.
