Sun Dolphin Bali SS 12-Foot Sit-on top Kayak Review
Editor's Pros & Cons
Pros
- With a length of 12”, this kayak leans a little more toward maneuverability and a little less toward speed and with a width of 29.5”, it is still reasonably fast.
- Also, the 29.5” beam makes it a fairly stable fishing platform. In addition, is has a very comfortable seating system.
- It is very hard to flip over and very easy to get back in.
- It is very stable giving you the chance to stand on it to fish without fearing to fell to the water or flipping the kayak over
- With its 48 lbs. it is a very lightweight kayak easy to handle alone.
Cons
- With a length of 12’, this kayak is less maneuverable than shorter kayaks in the 10’ range and with a width of 29.5”, it may not be stable enough to suite some anglers.
- Other than that, the only other problem Present in this kayak is that you might get a little wet. But every time you go out kayaking you must be prepared for that possibility.
