Sevylor Colorado 2-Person Inflatable Fishing Kayak Complete with Paddle & Rod Holders Adjustable Seats and Carry Handle; Kayak Can Fit Trolling Motor

My son and I took the Colorado kayak out today for the first time. I got it for him so we could do some bass fishing. We had approx. 400 pounds in the kayak (two grown men, life preservers, etc.... no tackle as this was a test run to see how it performed). We embarked in about 6 inches of water without touching bottom. Once we figured out its characteristics we were able track it in a straight line with each of us rowing from opposite sides. Without hurrying, we crossed a 1/4 mile lake in about 10 minutes, we decided a motor would not be needed because the battery weight would probably bump up against the weight limit. It glides very nicely across the water rowing. Wind did make a difference in its tracking, I would not recommend setting out when it's very windy. We dealt with 10 mile an hour gusts with no real issue. It's very easy to paddle even though the sides are pretty high. We spent three hours on the water and only pulled in because we felt the effects of sunburn. Neither of us were tired even though we did a lot of paddling. There is plenty of space for preservers and tackle (especially if you don't have a battery box), plenty of webbed areas for holding smaller items. Very stable, not tippy at all. Seats offer good support but will need to be occasionally adjusted (once I found the right support, I only needed to adjust it once more in a couple of hours of paddling. My only concern was there was about a half cup of standing water on the deck when we pulled in, it may have been due to residual water from passing the oars over the bow, dripping into the interior. I read another review that said if the cells are not inflated enough it might leak.... I'm thinking the deck may have been under inflated. The amount of water on the deck was not noticeable while we were underway, we only found it when we pulled ashore. My shoulder hurts from patting myself on the back for making this purchase, I wish I would have done it 40 years ago.

I purchased this kayak to take to the Florida Keys for fishing. I've used a few times. Structurally I like this fishing kayak. The seats are pretty rough. It doesn't matter how I adjust, I don't have enough back support. Leads to tired legs and hips. I will install other seats. Inflating is fairly simple except for the floor. For some reason I struggle to fill with my 12 volt pump so I have to use a manual. The sides inflate easily with my 12 volt pump. The kayak is very durable. I have had no problems with hooks embedding into the outer layer. Overall, I have no regrets and have had.a lot.of great fishing in the mangroves with this kayak.

The Colorado inflatable fishing kayak exceeded my wildest expectations. I had only used hard body kayaks prior to this boat, and didn't think that an inflatable would actually work just as good. It's extremely durable--I've landed this boat on a rocky beach, dragged it down a rough cement ramp, and hit a few underwater branches, all with no problems. The underside is SUPER strong. The material on top seems strong as well, though it has not been tested. It's very easy to set up. It takes about 10 minutes to get it into the water if you use an electric pump, which I do recommend that you do because you don't want to be exhausted from pumping before making your first paddle. It does take longer to deflate and pack--it's not hard, just requires time to dry out completely. It tracks well when paddling, though it is a bit slow. Also, wind can be a bit of a pain due to the profile of the kayak, making an anchor a MUST for fishing. I take one star off because after-purchase support is poor. Sevylor, as far as I understand, doesn't exist as an independent company anymore. At least in the U.S., you have to go to Coleman for any support inquiries. It's now been over a month since my purchase, and I STILL can't get a Bill of Sale and Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) in order to register my boat, a requirement if you want to use a trolling motor in most states. Overall, I highly recommend this boat if (1) you want a kayak but (2) you don't have the space for a rigid body kayak, and (3) if you want to be fishing on it. If you're not into fishing, there are probably cheaper alternatives out there without the bells and whistles. Edit: Coleman eventually helped me out and I got the boat registered to the satisfaction of my state government.

So glad we purchased this. This was an amazing find. This is one hell of a good quality product. We dont use it for fishing, just a paddle up/down the river when we are on holidays. Either use a manual foot pump, or a fitted compressor to pump it up. Do not use a handheld portable inflator, it doesn't work, we tried. Luckily we have a fitted compressor in our 4WD to pump up tyres, so we used this to pump up our canoe. When we first got it, we pumped it up inside the house with a manual foot pump, this also worked fine. Overall top product.

absolutely amazing. Stable easy to use would definitely recommend 👌

Arrived without paddle, as per description paddle is there.

My husband and I love our new inflatable fishing kayak. It is just perfect, easy to inflate, very sturdy, enough room for storage, and enough room for your feet ( my husband is 6’ and weighs 230 pounds, and I’m 5’6 and 135 pounds, both of us had enough space plus our dog) solid material, and you don’t have to worry about tipping it over. Our dog loved his first fishing trip. If we could give more than five stars, we absolutely would!!! Great purchase. P.S. We recommend getting at least 99” paddles since it is wider than a regular kayak.

Ha sido una excelente compra, muy resistente, facil de armar e inflar. Costuras resistentes, precio calidad es muy bueno y resulto una gran compra.
