Vibe yellowfin kayak reviews upgrade#
But, the 2.0 Hero Seat is definitely an upgrade from the original and is holding up much better, get it if you can! In addition to those nuts and bolts the hardware that keeps the seat fastened to the boat is recessed and water pools in those spots. We have had to replace a number of bolts and lock nuts for the Original Seat. The Original Vibe Hero Seat is comfortable but has not held up very well over time. Having 3 seat options is a great feature but comes with a caveat the deck has a lot of hardware, bungee cords, seat pockets, and seat rails. To highlight this let’s take a look at the seat configurations: front, rear, and middle. The assets of the boat can also lead to some minor liabilities. This is because the Scupper holes aren’t able to collect and discharge all of the water properly.
But, water seems to pool up around the edges and compartments of the boat during a day of paddling. We have not seen any significant warping in this Kayak which is a great sign. Secondly, the deck space is a little soft and raised around the two center hatches. In spite of that small detail, they have held up strong over lots of wear & tear. Firstly, the footpegs become a little loose and bendy over time, so make sure you keep an eye on them if they start to bend out a little bit. The Deck Space has just a few minor issues. In the tandem setup, there is plenty of room for both to be fishing at the same time, just be careful when casting from the front position so that you don’t hook your fellow passenger! Deck Space In solo, there is plenty of room to add whatever you’ll need for a day of fishing. The Rod holders are great for Tandem but in the solo configuration, they are nearly impossible to reach because of how far back they are positioned. There are Gear Track Rails in the front and rear, 2 Flush Mount Rod Holders, Front & Rear Kayak Storage, & Accessory Base Mount. In the Solo Configuration, you have a number of options to customize. A Kayak Cart is advised or having 2 people to help transport, which is likely as many use this boat in the Tandem Configuration. At 35″ wide this boat should fit just fine in most J-Racks on the market. Two people may be required to get this kayak on top of a vehicle as it is front and back-heavy making it a bit hard to get up off the ground. Coming in at 13′ long the Vibe Yellowfin 130T is a big girl.
