![]() I am unable to put this kayak on my car and carry the kayak to the launch site or storage area by myself. My biggest qualm with the Rambler 13.5 is the weight of the kayak (78 pounds). The molded-in foot wells are a little small for my foot which can make it a little uncomfortable paddling barefoot so I generally wear sandals. The Rambler 13.5 is not designed for three adults but it gave me a good idea of how far I could push the weight capacity. However, you definitely have to work hard to control the Rambler 13.5 when you put that much weight on there. At that weight the Rambler 13.5 remained stable in a moderately rough ocean bay. I was able to pack three adults into the Rambler 13.5, which took the weight up to just under 500 pounds with gear. The Rambler 13.5 becomes less responsive when you weigh it down closer to its weight capacity but that is to be expected. ![]() Although crashing through the waves will ensure a wet ride in rougher waters, the scupper holes do a great job draining the water out. Therefore, I would not recommend this boat if speed is important to you. While the Rambler 13.5 remains very stable in rougher waters, the wide flat bow prevents the kayak from cutting through the waves and instead crashes into each wave. I have taken the Rambler 13.5 out on the Intracoastal Waterway, ocean bays, a large lake, and the open ocean. The great stability makes it easy to get in and out of the Rambler 13.5 from the water. I can stand up in the boat in calm waters while another person is paddling without an issue. With the exception of having to work harder, it's not a problem paddling alone from the rear when my girlfriend wants to take a break up front. The Rambler 13.5 is roomy and tracks well with two adult paddlers. Every detail is carefully crafted and executed flawlessly to bring you boundless paddling perfection.I weigh approximately 140 pounds and stand five-feet ten-inches. Retaining everything paddlers love from the celebrated original with improved comfort, stability, speed and paddler interface, the new Tarpon is easily the most versatile boat in the Wilderness Systems lineup that is equally at home on rivers, lakes or oceans. How do you improve upon a legend? Introducing the New Tarpon. Proudly designed, molded and hand assembled in the USA, the Pescador Pro kayak is backed by a 5-Year Warranty. The two molded-in rod holders are compatible with the Rod-X Pro accessory (sold separately). The longer length of the 12.0 model remains maneuverable while adding speed, cargo space, and stability-perfect for accessing quiet waters beyond the reach of other boaters. Giving you more comfort for your money, the Pescador’s seat outperforms comparable models with thick ergonomic padding and an adjustable seatback for personalized support. One online reviewer even stated: “The seat alone is worth buying this kayak.” Multiple gear tracks and Solo Mount recesses make it easy to add accessories like cameras, speakers and fishing rod holders. Ready to fish right out of the box, the Pescador is loaded with features, including spacious open storage, covered dry storage, and two rod holders. Unmatched stability, speed, and straight-tracking performance make it fun for even new paddlers to explore lakes, ponds, and flat-water rivers. The Perception Pescador series of sit-on-top kayaks are designed to be the best all-around boats for the money.
