Tucktec 8' Jr. Foldable Kayak - 225 lb. Capacity - Made in USA

I got the Pro model and so far have been impressed. There is a learning curve when it comes to assembly, however, once you've got it...it's a breeze. There is a fishing package and a stabilizer kit available on their website, which honestly has made the overall experience much better. The stabilizer kit gives about 25 extra pounds of displacement, which has been great for fishing. One thing I have found, is that I personally needed to size down my paddle, as my usual paddle seemed to be "too much" and made it harder to keep the boat on track.

Compact, lightweight, portable, well-made, and reasonably priced. It's not hard to set up, IF you watch the instructional video. An instruction card would be nice, but the existence of the instructional videos means that it's unnecessary. It floats, and gets me from point A to point B on the water, without sending me for an undesired swim. I can't comment on long term durability, but it's held up well so far. For waterfowl hunting, fishing, and backpacking this is an excellent, and very competitively priced, option - ~2/3 the price of the next cheapest folding Kayak I could find on a cursory search, and comparable even to the cheapest hard shell option at my local sporting goods store.

It’s a little too soon to rate this as it’s only 2 days since it arrived and have not put in water yet. It went together reasonably well and should be easier next time. The distance between the seat and the foot rest seems short (I’m 6’3”) so knees are up higher than desired. However it’s possible to put feet under footrest so one could alternate foot location. I noticed the warning that not returnable if used in water so one needs to determine suitability after initial setup but before trying out on water.
