Hopefully it's a dry ride like they claim. It's a flat bottom yak so it may not track well, but is probably nice and stable.

As far as coin, well it's from a place that sells a $15 bucket w/gamma seal lid (at Amazon) for an insane $47.95 http://www.malibukayaks.com/5-gallon...it-bucket.html so it's probably worth waiting for a blem sale to pick one up instead of paying $900 http://www.smithfamilytackle.com/kay...ber-fish-dive/

Thanks for some insight and design perspective since I haven't purchased let alone rigged a kayak yet. Have storage issues ,so this looked like it has some potential.
