I've been using one for over a year now and really like it. You will need to seal the hatches. Other than being heavy it is more fishable than any kayak that cost twice as much. The large flat deck and plenty of storage make up for the weight. It is a stable kayak and will take some fairly rough inshore water but it is coming over the bow.
If your not far from Salisbury, i'll be glad to meet you somewhere and let you paddle mine and look at how it's set up.
