91075 Lifetime 10' Kenai Sit on Top Kayak with Paddle

I got two of these and the kids and I love them. I find it very easy to navigate the local pond. My son (10) who's never used one before really enjoys it too. I didn't have any malfunctions but everything seems like it's easy to maintain.

I gotQuality We purchased two of these Kenai 103 kayaks last month. I asked the store to open each one to assure nothing was missing as I’ve read multiple reviews of missing seat clips. The first one we opened was indeed missing one of the seat clips. We opened the second one to find it had a defect with the rear bungee cord not being connected to the kayak on one end…not something easily fixed due the size and location of the hole. The next two we loaded up and took home. When we unloaded them we found one missing the padded seat back cover! Unbelievably neither of the kayaks have the “Two Flush Mounted Fishing Rod Holders” as listed in the description and features sections on the website. Very disappointed in the lack of quality control in the manufacturing and assembly processes. Experience We thoroughly enjoyed getting to paddle over coral and through the mangroves until suddenly and unexpectedly one of the seat clips let loose! Quite a surprise! Unfortunately this continues to happen multiple times every time we take the kayak out. The clips are poorly designed and have an unneeded attachment between the buckle and the clip causing two chronic problems. 1) the clips easily come apart and get lost rendering the seat back unusable. 2) the connection between the buckle and the clip is too weak and consistently pulls apart causing the seat back to collapse unexpectedly. The bottom “seat cushion” lasted 3 days before tearing loose exacerbated by the continual collapse of the seat back. The rod holders shown in the pictures are also missing!?! Summary The hulls are stable and appear to be durable for several years. Unfortunately consistent with multiple other design issues the side carrying handles are not placed at the center of gravity prohibiting easy two person transport along the sides. The fishing rod holders are simply missing completely. Seat buckles and clips are notorious for coming loose and getting lost. Such easy to remedy design & quality control issues that significantly impact the enjoyment of an otherwise fun boat. Hopefully there’ll be a few simple changes soon to address these major flaws. two of these and the kids and I love them. I find it very easy to navigate the local pond.
