Lifetime Daylite Sit-On-Top Kayak 90938 8-Foot Lime Green Color

Got it for my wife and she loves it. Perfect size for a 5' 7" person

I only have one Daylite kayak. I bought an orange one. Due to that product not available online I elected to review this one since it is the most similar to my orange Daylite kayak. I love mine. It is the perfect thing to throw in the back of the truck when I go to the lake or the river. I don't feel the need to say how much I weigh but I am a big guy. . . I'm six foot five and overweight. This kayak has a weight limit, and I may or may not exceed that limit but it handled my size just fine. The only con or negative aspect about the Daylite series is the fact that it only has one t handle. I bought an additional one to put on the back to that it is easier to move around and carry without dragging it. Pros: Easy Exit & Entry, Storage, Lightweight, Price, Stable, Comfortable Poor Design Originally posted on Daylite Kayak (Yellow, Paddle, Backrest) (Originally Posted on the Yellow Model)

We bought 3 Daylite Kayaks about 4 years ago. We have had so much fun on them at our Family cabin on Bear Lake, Utah. Everyone from age 6 to 65 have taken them out. They are so easy to maneuver and stable in the water.

I bought this kayak last Summer after using my father in-laws at the beach for 3 years in a row. I love to take it out on the lake and explore. Very stable and so easy to transport. It fits into my mini van with no problems and light enough for me to carry by myself (even came with carrying strap if you need it). It is not for speed, but great to paddle out onto the lake and swim off of our go fishing. Wendy (Originally Posted on the Yellow Model)

I purchase two of them via internet for delivery to my lake house in Maine. once I got through all the delivery issues and damage to the first order due to shipper/handler I am happy to say, when second set arrived, we took them out in lake and we are truly impressed. smooth, easy, comfortable and beautiful as well. We were surprised they even went the extra mile to include the plugs. As you can see the lake was still ice in center. Even more reason to brag about the stability of them. we never even got wet. we traveled on the open water near shore line for over a couple miles and back. I need to buy two more and I will.

I took it out the second day after I bought it. Tracked straight in a slight breeze, easy to paddle. The carrying handle is centered making it easy to transport to the water. The seat for me is comfortable, I would like a hole under my seat to drain water. Takes my breath away. . : ) The most awesome thing about it, is being able to get on it without tipping over. I weigh 205 and stand 6'2'. After getting off and back on several times, I recommend this to beginner to advanced. The fishing pole holder hole would be fun to modify for anyone who likes to video their trips. A small mount inserted in the hole to attach the water proof camera and paddle away. A small sail can be added, but it's not a sail boat. I didn't know a sail was an accessory, but after I did find out I wasn't sure if I would want one. If I knew before I would of ordered the sail at the purchase. (Originally Posted on the Yellow Model)

We bought one of these and tried it out in the pool and went back the next day to buy 2 more. We got a chance to take them out on the river this weekend. We got these so we can poke around lakes and watch birds and animals. This is NOT a serious kayak, but it's a heck of a lot of fun. My husband is 6'3 200 pounds and we both fit very comfortably in our kayaks. They are very easy to paddle, but don't skim through the water as quickly as a traditional kayak. They are wider and have a very flat bottom, and don't seem to have the same grip on the water. The advantage to this is that they are VERY stable - I was able to haul my 50 lb dog out of the lake and onto the kayak every time she decided she didn't want to swim anymore. When she jumped back into the water, it hardly rocked the kayak. We got these because they actually fit INSIDE our GMC Acadia SUV. We can put two of them inside, which saves on gas mileage. For camping, they fit INSIDE our tiny (18 foot) travel trailer. Another selling point is that they are MADE IN THE U. S. A. Yeah! Our kayaks came with a small triangular sail that is really fun! We flew along with just a bit of wind. Using the oar as a rudder gives you complete control. I wasn't able to tack back and forth against the wind. I'm sure that I don't have the skill to do that yet, but I think it would be difficult with this kayak because of the extremely flat bottom. We were easily able to row upstream on a very gentle river. It seems to be well suited for either going downstream, or paddling around a lake. That's all we want to do anyway. The seat back has a cap at the rear so you can use it for watertight storage. It would probably hold a wind breaker or your lunch. It also has a good sized storage area with elastic cords behind the seat. It holds up to 250 pounds, so you could carry quite a bit with you. It has a built in cup holder, a fishing pole holder, and a rest for the oars. If you want a fun boat to play around with, this is perfect. (Originally Posted on the Yellow Model)

I have two adult Daylight ones and two youth Wave ones and they are a blast. And I keep liking them more and more. At first was surprised when they all fit in the back of my mini van (4 of the back 6 seats down) and then I was even more surprised when I was able to put the two adult ones on the top of my van with the youth ones on top of those (with the little ones inside the adult ones they have the same height profile as my roof top carrier). The adult ones do over shoot my cross bars by about 6 inches on each side (which is still within the width of the van). But I have taken 3 trips to the lake and by threading the straps through the rings that are built in the kayak, they haven’t wiggled. I haven’t taken them on the freeway yet, but with a couple more straps nicely placed and I am willing to do it. As for playing on the water we have gone with friends and family and everyone has loved them. Good points: very stable (my 9 year old can stand up and paddle), light weight (I carry the 2 adult ones and my wife the 2 youth ones), easy to get in and out, ease of use (even my 3 ½ year old can mostly handle the youth one by herself). Down side: retail price (just glad I got some cheaper than full price), backside can get wet unless you buy the plugs (I am usually swimming so no problem for me), sail on the adult ones moved me, but didn’t seem big enough to get me moving like I had hoped (I haven’t sailed much so I could be doing it wrong).
