“Having recently suffered a stroke, I decided on a propeller style pedal kayak and Bay Sports 3.2 model appeared to suit all my needs. Having ordered and received the kayak I was impressed by the build quality and the set of instructions for assembly.
Now that I have taken the Yak for a good run on Lake Wivenhoe here in S.E.Q. I am impressed by the ease of pedalling, manoeuvrability and stability. I pedalled constantly for three hours as I navigated and explored the dam looking for areas to fish and the kayak itself, its design and placing of accessories did not disappoint.
My only disappointment is the ball mount rod holders supplied. Due to catching a lure on a snag, the rod holder (though tightened to what appeared to be the max) rotated backwards and down allowing the rod to slip out. Thankfully the water was not deep and was very clear and I retrieved both rod and reel. All rod holders have now been replaced with the star type mount that locks in position.
Had it not been for this one point I would have given a five star review. Still, I totally recommend this Kayak it is amazing and exceeded my expectations.”
“Found the quality of the yak quite good and very easy to assemble. The only issue I had was the seat bar on the front was too long to fit into the brackets and be able to be screwed down with the thumb screws as it would not line up with the brass sliding nuts. Nothing a quick measure and cut didn’t fix though. Overall very pleased with it.”
