I bought this thing December 2019 for I think $124.99, this is the closest I've seen it get to that price and I'm seriously considering picking up a second one just to have for friends or family that want to tag along here and there.

I've never had pets or kids on it BUT to give you an idea - I'm 6'3, 270 pounds. I've run it duo with several other adults, some of them over 250 pounds. I cannot stress how impressed I am with how well this thing holds up. Just the fact that it can handle the weight of two large adults is a big deal to me. Not only that, I'm the type that carries WAY too much gear. At minimum I'll have a full backpack cooler (15-20 drinks and a few small snacks inside), TWO small anchors as I like to find a sandbar and just hang out for a few hours and don't want to have to worry about chasing my kayak down, a dry bag filled with first aid, towels, change of clothes, etc.
I'm talking about probably 40-60 pounds of extra weight on top of the 400-550 pounds in people.

Storage bag is more than big enough to fit EVERYTHING, not just the kayak.
Don't rush, take the time to wash, dry, clean and fold it properly and you'll be glad you did.
Mine looks almost like new after 3 years.

I've been in some serious chop and never felt uneasy with how it was riding.
I challenge you to sink or even flip this thing.

Now I'll give you a few cons so you don't think I'm just blowing smoke:
The pair of inflatable seats that come with it aren't the most comfortable in the world however that could have to do with the fact that they probably had smaller framed people in mind for them. If it bothers you that much upgrade to a rigid stadium seat style seat.

The pump it comes with is on the cheap end. I've got an electric pump so not an issue for me but just be warned.

The oars, like just about all budget inflatable kayaks leave lots to be desired. Will they get the job done for a good time out on the water? Absolutely. You'll feel a little more fatigue but get over it and have fun or stop being cheap and invest in some quality oars.

You won't be breaking any speed records and turning radius isn't ideal but then again this isn't a performance kayak so be reasonable.

The most significant difference between this and the explorer models is the material used. The excursion pro used a pvc impregnated fabric vs non-reinforced vinyl on the cheaper explorer models.

I have used a borrowed explorer on some small white-water and while stable, it only lasted a few hours before several puncture holes resulted in significant air loss. The excursion, which i own, is not perfect, but is significantly less likely to get damaged or punctured comparatively.

The cons of the excursion should be weighed against the relatively low cost (an absolute steal at this price). Cons include cheap paddles, kayak design is very stable but results in a fair amount of drag, and slow maneuverability . I would also like to see a better fill valve. Pros include durability, cost, portability and easy storage.

I bought two of the k2s on a previous sd and even for just floating down the river they are a poor kayak. This pro model really doesn't look much better to me. In my limited experience I would strongly suggest you get any rigid kayak over these if its an option for you. If this is your only option it still beats not going down the river but these are far more like an awkward shaped innertube than a kayak.

It seems much longer than the Explorer K2, but definitely better built.

Watching the video on the product page, it looks like this is similar to the k2 except this has a mounting bar in the middle, metal D rings for the seat anchors, and integrated rod holders. Is the material tougher than the k2? Or is the build basically the same?

I've always wanted one, solid kayaks never go on sale. I'm not buying one of those cheap inflatable ones Smilie You recommend this for a first timer? Simple for activities, fishing, ect.

Well I see this is inflatable :-/

I have both this, the K2 explorer and some real kayaks. I bought this on December 8, 2019 for $124.99. This one is definitely a step up from the K2. Thicker material, more rigid overall and less drag. I didn't experience the problems others are talking about. I even ran the K2 onto a tree under water and got stuck. I was sure there would be a huge hole, but there was nothing. Now, compared to real kayaks, these still produce a huge amount of drag. I can go twice as fast in a real kayak with the same effort as compared to these inflatables. Something to think about when using them often. Having an inflatable does save you some more money, you need to get a roof rack for real kayaks. That does add cost. I have some very long sea kayaks that I can't handle on my own. So if my wife or friends aren't coming along, and it's just my young daughter and I, we will take the inflatable. Throw it in the trunk with all the accessories and you're good to go.

Make sure you get a life vest for everyone planning to ride on these. Especially kids! Things happen. If you want to be cheap, look on Craigslist, I've gotten some great life vests for $5 there.

I don't think it's fair to say you shouldn't buy an inflatable kayak unless it's your "only option." Inflatable kayaks are generally slower than rigid kayaks and don't track as well, but they also have some very real advantages.

Inflatables are much more stable, and if you do manage to flip one they won't swamp or sink. They're easier to transport and store, and they're generally quite a bit cheaper than rigid kayaks as well. Perhaps most importantly, inflatables are the least expensive boats that will fit two people. Rigid tandem kayaks are much more expensive and even more difficult to store/transport.

For anyone interested in buying an inflatable kayak, I strongly recommend checking out this video by J Baikoff on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5U8u_rkNTSY. This dude is a wealth of information and you'll be much better informed to make a decision after watching his videos.
