I got a Tacoma several years ago and really liked it. Wanted to get my wife a shorter lighter one and this Hydros really for the bill. Lots of good fishing features and only 40 lbs.

5 Cat24
I bought this kayak for my son for small trips out and some light fishing. It has 2 fishing rod holders and comes with a paddle so I didn ’ t have to spend more money to buy one separately. He is very happy with his kayak.

5 Kpopp
Bought this as a second kayak to our 13. 5 rambler. We are a family of 4 and kids are getting bigger. One of us uses this while the other three go in the big kayak. It is smooth and easy for kids to use. We bought this about 3 years ago and it ’s still going strong. Only down side is that it only holds 225lbs( or so it says), and the price is getting higher when there are other kayaks same price that hold more weight.

I 'm 6 foot 2 '' and 240 lbs not a small man... Got thi Kayak and its by far the most amazing buy to date. its awesome!!! love it.

5 Hitch
I coupled with a MinnKota 45 lb. thrust trolling motor and it moves me around well. I ’ m 5 ’ 10 ” and weigh 200. I carry a 10 lb anchor which I store under the battery cover to distribute the weight. The 360 swivel works well for me. I am 70 and do not stand up while fishing but I know much younger people could. I ’ ve landed several 5 lb. bass on an ultralight rod in it.

5 ranchdude
This isnt an inexpensive kayak but you get more than what you pay for in a stabile one person fishing craft that is packed with good features. Are the flaws? Sure there are some things they might want to consider such as the raised track handles put quit a bit on leverage on the hull but having those tracks there opens up all kinds of possibilities. This was my first yak and I ca n't imagine I could have bought any better this boat is as much fun as it is functional. One suggestion for future models is a sucken battery well to lower the center of gravity a bit and to help keep the battery in place.

5 Mickey
I got this vessel 2 months ago equipped it with a mini Kota 55 lb thrust traxxis and a 95 ah deep cycle battery. The 14 qt pelican cooler fits perfect in between the foot rest can ’ t wait to get this beauty on the water by far the best fishing kayak out there

5 SSG Mallory
Man oh Man what a Great little boat( Kayak). Very easy to put in the water. And the customer service is spot on. They replaced my battery cover hinge with no problems. I took it out to Lake Norman for the test run. I used a 55lbs thrust motor. Great!!

5 Tommy O
Got our Lifetime Lancer 100 kayak six years ago and we ’ re still enjoying it immensely. We ’ ve used this kayak on lakes and on the ocean and it ’s safe, durable and easy to operate. Highly recommended!

5 JoePer23
I bought this kayak 3 years ago for my wife but after test it I decided use like mine own kayak because is more smooth to paddle than the older one.

5 Patrick
I had to order a new seat back for my Lancer 100 kayak. This was due solely to my mistake and not a production issue. Ian in customer service gave me exemplary help. He not only sent me the seat back, but also the strap, bungie and connections that he knew I would need. The service I received blew me out of the water( so to speak). I now know the reason behind the company's name as I will be a lifetime customer of Lifetime. Ian rocks!

5 Colin43
Excellent customer service. My Kayak Hatch was lost during transport. Lifetime replaced it for free. What an amazing company. They take care of their customers!!! This is the second time I have received excellent service. I last called about an issue with the seat adjuster on my other Lifetime fishing Kayak. It was handled immediately!! By the way, both my Lifetime Kayaks are excellent, sturdy and we 'll made!

I bought a 8ft lifetime kayak for my daughters birthday( larger one, she grew out of her lifetime kid kayak) and only a display kayak was available, except a hook plug was missing for attaching the seat( water was getting into the inner kayak).. I went online and sent an email explaining, they were nice and let me know they were sending me a replacement with no extra charge to me. buying from lifetime has been the best decision I 've ever made!! I will continue to buy their kayaks and send my family and friends to them.. seriously a exceptional company!!

5 Susie
My husband and I both purchased Lifetime kayaks a few years ago. We have enjoyed many hours of paddling in our nearby marina. Additionally, due to storage limitations at home they have been store outdoors. The colors of both have remained vivid, never fading. Kudos to customer service as well, replacement of a strap buckle was easy and set to arrive in about 4 days. Outstanding!

5 Frank
I bought this three years ago and had a ball with it

Great Kayak- no drain plug included.

5 Mommy
This kayak is easy to maneuver. It's stable even though it's not wide. Its also easy to carry around due to it's light weight.

5 Jen in the Poconos
I purchased 5 of these kayaks for a rental property in the Poconos. BEST purchase! Customer Service( Alex) was super helpful in ordering me some backup parts b/c I have had a few groups not use the straps properly. Renters love them& my family love them as well. Easy enough for one person to lift them to get on the rack and to bring inside for winter storage. Going on season 2 with these.

5 wyosasquatch
This kayak is well- loved — I 've owned it for just about 8 years now — and it just a fun little kayak. Tracking straight takes some time to master, it will seem impossible at first, and even then, it is never great, but it is incredibly stable, you can stand up in it and fish, and easy to transport. It's built like a tank.
