I'm 6'2" 220lbs and bought this one after I returned a Pelican Blitz 100x which is not for a person my size even though it's rated for 275lbs. The Yellowfin 100 is rated for 375lbs. and I could feel the difference in stability and comfort right away. I have an $8K camera that I use to photograph water birds so I needed a stable boat but small enough to throw on my roof. It's only 10 feet so it does not track that well as expected but is good enough for paddling around smaller waters for doing photography. Tons of features and a lifetime warranty on the hull, also 1 year on parts. As for a few reviews about tipping over, losing fishing poles etc..., I bet those guys are just fat and clumsy, maybe drinking while boating? This kayak is stable as it gets at this size and paid $479 on sale was a steal.

Great Kayak But Have Some Issues
Lovely kayak, it’s lightweight sturdy and easy to maneuver but make sure to check it over before picking up as the bungee that holds the paddles was broken on mine. I also cannot get the back of the seat to connect to the bottom, it’s like it’s just too narrow for the base and is pretty much unusable.

Love This!
Took my new kayak out for it's maiden voyage (and my first time in a kayak) last weekend. I love it. I was on a calm lake. I found it to be super stable, and the steering was responsive when I rocked my hips. I'm a big person, 315 lbs and it handled me just fine. It has two dry containers and lots of room behind the seat for a cooler. I also loved the adjustable foot rests. I would very much recommend this kayak.

Vibe Yellowfin
Bought this a month ago. Haven't tried it yet, but it feels solid and the mesh seat is very comfortable.

Light, Stable, Comfortable And Reasonably Priced - This Was A Perfect Kayak For Me
I have used the Vibe 100 a dozen times since I bought it. It is light enough for me to easily load it on to of my car. It is very comfortable to sit on and has lots of good additions that make fishing easy. The price was very reasonable.

Flips Over Way Too Easy
Kayak is not very stable. After catching a very nice small mouth bass the kayak flipped over while taking a picture. I lost 2 fishing poles luckily the camera was water proof. I was in the St Lawrence River and it was NOT rough. Thinking that maybe I did something wrong I took it to a shallow protected cove leaned slightly to one side and it flipped again with very little lean. I definitely would never us it in water that not warm enough to swim in. Dicks would not take it back. Compelled me to Wright my 1st review ever. Don't buy it!

Great Options For An Entry Level Kayak
The entire family loves it! Ages range from a 10 year old to adult! Lots of options. The installed rail system lets you use the numerous add on’s from YakAttack. Highly recommend it!

Great, But I Weigh Too Much(240lbs)
This kayak is great but due to my weight I was having stability issues. I bought this kayak because it had such a high weight capacity but unfortunately this kayak is not for my physique. I used another kayak with 100lbs less capacity and it is night and day. If I were a smaller person this kayak would probably work for me. I just wanted to notify all the big boys out there that this kayak might not be for you.

So Far So Good
Only had the boat out once so far and its not bad. Bought due to the many review that said this was stable for bigger guys. Its really top heavy and feels like it wants to tip over while just sitting. It gets much more stable while moving through the water. Love the feature the boat comes with, especially the seat. I am going to take it out later once the weather turns and give it a full til test before i say it is great or terrible. So far so good though.
