Sevylor Big Basin 3-Person Inflatable Kayak with Adjustable Seats & Carry Handles, Heavy-Duty PVC Construction for Rugged Use & Boston Valve for Easy Inflation/Deflation

First let's get the negative out of the way...The chairs that come with it are terrible (no support), and it really is hard to dry out the crevices when you're done so you might have to roll them back out on the lawn when you get home, set them in the sun, and run a dry rag in the cracks to get them dry so there's no mold the next time you use them. I'm guessing lots of blow up kayaks would have this issue though based on design. That being said, it's still the best purchase we've ever made. The price wasn't too bad and the quality of them is outstanding. Super thick. Also most kayaks you find aren't going to have this high of a weight limit or be able to hold as much. This can seat 3 small people or remove one of the seats and it can seat two regular to plus size people easily. So versatile. It blows up really quickly with just a foot pump. Make sure you put the bottom fin in before you blow it up if you plan on using it otherwise you won't be able to get it in once it's already blown up. Does not come with a paddle but those are cheap to buy. Comes with a pressure gauge and states the recommended psi right on the Kayak, which took out the guess work. We didn't have any problem with leaks either. You'll probably be fine as long as you make sure the air compartments are tight. As far as what pump to use, i just got a random foot pump and that worked great. I think the valves are pretty standard. Get your own chairs and a paddle and you'll be glad you purchased this Kayak.

This is an awesome kayak. I'm totally satisfied with it. Ofcourse you can't compare it with a hardshell kayak, but considering it is an infaltable kayak, it tracks very well in a straight line with its tracking fin and two directional strakes and it is very stable. It would be difficult to fit 3 people in it, but 2 people can paddle comfortably. So far I've gone kayaking in it once just by myself. Since I was paddling just by myself, I was skeptical about it's performance. As soon as I got this thing in water, I realized how wrong I was. I had no problem paddling in a straight line. I did put some light weight in the front and back and I sat in the middle seat. It has three boston valves for all three chambers. Seats are decent once inflated and provides good back support. The quality of the material seems very durable. Each seat has a bottle holder. Overall it is an excellent kayak. The only downsides are that it doesn't glide as fast when paddled solo and there are no bungee cords on the decks for extra storage. There are some storage room behind the back seat though.Pros:- 3 chambers with boston valves- Tracking fin- 2 directional strakes- 3 Comfortable seats with bottle holders- High quality material- Some Storage room behind the back seat- Tracks very well- Very stableCons:- No bungee cords on decks

Bought this to take with us in our motorhome so it would be easy to stash between stops. Pumps up great. Stable and secure. Dog loves it. The three of us fit comfortably. Inflating took only about 10 minutes. Oh, put the skeg in before inflating....otherwise you wont' be able to get it in. It takes a bit of doing to get all the water out after deflating as it get stuck underneath the sides. I was finally able to get it back into the bag that came with it...took some doing. We ended up buying extra long paddles to get over the sides of the kayak. Our other hard-shell kayak could take shorter paddles. We took out the middle seat so I could stretch my legs out from the back seat area. Katie, our dog, like to be up front! Easy to paddle, although not as easy as our old hard-shell kayak. The seats do not give enough back support so any longer trips are hard on the back. Bought a Crazy Creek seat to use and it gives great back support now. Also bought some wheels that make it much easier to walk to the water. Make sure you close the "sea-cock" under the back of the boat before launching. We forgot and it started to fill up with water! Empty when you're done by opening it up.

We bought this boat several years ago and it was really great. It stored in our RV nicely, was easy to inflate, appeared to be made of quality materials and was fun to paddle around in. Then it developed a leak in one of the bladders. Never did find out exactly where the leak was, I'm suspecting it may have been a defective valve. In any event, I tried to buy a replacement bladder for it and found out there are none available. So basically this is a disposable boat.I honestly don't mind paying the price for something that lasts a couple of seasons and then you have to replace it. But there was nothing wrong with this boat at all except for that one leak, and there is no way to get it fixed. Shame on Sevylor and Coleman, who are impossible to contact for customer support.

My right hand side section started to leak air from a day one though no visible damages and no accidents on top of the very careful utilization. At the beginning it was a slow process and after ~3 hours on the water I was able to notice that pressure in the right air section is significantly lower. Since it was okay to use for about 3 hours I thought it's nothing serious and unfortunately ignored.However 2 months after purchase and only after 4 times being on the water the air section started to leak air more significantly with a loud air leak sound and with a much rapid pace of it when the pressure of the right side becomes unsafe to use after 2 minutes on the water. I would love to return the boat if i'll have that option.Also i wonder how to reach out to a vendor to claim the guarantee service.
