SO 2-Pack 90116 Manta Kayak (Lime Green, Backrest)

Our whole family loves our Manta. We have had two adults and a child on it with no issues. Great to transport, light enough to haul most places, but very durable. We use it regularly for general family fun and also for fishing. Two adults can easily fish from it. It handles nicely in various conditions and is stable on the water. I highly recommend this Kayak!

Received new green Manta Tuesday afternoon, Saturday we unwrapped and took it out. . . and it was great!  I was hesitate, but the hesitation quickly left when I lowered myself into the sitting position. The stability is wonderfully secure, no tipping or rocking. . I am 68 yrs. young, 5'9, 230 #s, female. That says a lot in regard to my hesitation! Plus, I cannot swim. . . I wear a life jacket at all times. My husband has great respect for the water, and is a strong swimmer. . those things plus he is very agile. . although he weighs in at 207#, we seated ourselves comfortably, manned our paddles and around the lake we went.  Easy to maneuver in the water, easily pulled on shore. The seating is quite comfortable with the backrest , and the assorted feet wells allow you to choose the comfort level you want, plus sturdiness for your body. Yes, I would recommend this product to all, I found the advertisement to be true, considering how hesitate I was beforehand, I feel very secure sitting on top this kayak. Thank you for a great USA product!   GMC. Bought 1 pack version

Third seasons owner and still loving it. Took it out to Huntington Beach Harbor every summer for salt water fishing. Add a trolling motor with a 12V deep cycle battery on it and it works for 5 hours. We couldn't believe it can care both of us. I am 185 lbs and my friend is 275 lbs. The battery weight 55 lbs and the motor weight 50 lbs. It exceed the weight limit. Unbelievable. We need another one soon to convert it to catamaran. Bought 1 pack version

My husband and I go riding together in this and we love it! Its a great way to spend time together and its built with total quality. My Parents also use this and love it. Bought 1 pack version

This is awesome! I love the color and the double seats. The design is really nice. The sort of curve shape helps reduce drag and keep it afloat. This Kayak is very sturdy and quite difficult to fall out of. This Kayak is great for a couple. Bought 1 pack version

It is long and wide enough for my 5 year old son and I to get out to the ocean with 12v Water snake motor in the back. I also pimp my kayak with a single aluminum tube run across attached on each end with the flat aluminum 24" X 10" sheet with 8" 90% angle to stabilize when sailing along the coast of southern California. I don't know how fast we were going but it felt likes over 10 knot per hour when the wind was blowing. Bought 1 pack version

I have kayaked for 15 years. The Manta is my favorite! PROS: Made in US!The length is perfect for the roof of my Ford Escape, the accessories are durable, the features built into the kayak are plentiful. No product is 100% perfect but I'm rating this 5 stars because it has worked perfectly on all my kayak adventures without want or wear. I am 6'1 and 220 lbs and I comfortably fit 3 adults in my kayak (me included) without any fear of tipping. The 3-seat configuration is especially handy, and multiple footrests make restless legs a thing of the past. I also love the multiple seat back configurations - it's quick to change from solo to tandem and back. Molded features are beyond plentiful. Cup holders are large, scupper drains are thoughtfully placed, both the back and front easily carries cargo, and THE MOST CLEVER (BUT UNINTENDED) FEATURE is you can sunbathe comfortably in the prone position by putting your head at the front of the kayak! I also love the fishing rod insert, and did anybody notice the paddle inserts which double as strap guides when transporting the kayak? I did. CONS: The kayak drifts a little left-to-right because of the size and the bottom layout. A mild keel (maybe 2") down the middle for stability would solve that. The inevitable location of seat backs negate most lumbar support. The hull drain could be more thoughtfully placed - a little water is always left behind. Having only one side handle is pointless without the other. If the sail works with the Manta, I would be extremely happy. The motor mount seems expensive for such a simple function, as do the other motor accessories. The front paddle rest is impossible to use if you have forward cargo. Although aesthetically displeasing, it would be nice to have parallel paddle rests (or inserts) going the long way, as the paddles tend to unseat upon embark/disembark. CLOSING: Honestly, although I have some small cons, I am extremely happy with this product. I can't wait for version 2. 0! Bought 1 pack version

So not traditional kayaks by any means . . . but my family can stand on them like a paddle boat, jump off them, get back on them in water over their heads as well as paddle along comfortably and not flip over, even in choppy water. I had rented the sit-inside kayak and my daughter tipped hers. If we had been in deep water there was no way she was going to dump out the water and get back in. We wanted something to paddle in but have fun in as well without fear of tipping over. I bought this tandem kayak, the small lime green single kayak for my 10 year old (has a little swim up platform on back) and the blue lotus/calypso for my 14 year old. The tandem was for me and my other daughter or husband . . . but now I guess it will be me and the hubby as my 12 year old wants a blue calypso as well. My husband says their ugly but looks certainly aren't everything! Looks kind of funny with 4 stacked on top of my Kia Soul but there is no way to put them in the vehicle
