Good, not great.
By B. Moore
I bought this item off a membership-only wholesaler and I have not been let down in my three years of ownership. Though advertised as a two-person vessel, two people make it very cramped, especially for me as I have very long legs.

But for a single passenger, this kayak is very comfortable. It is very transportable, I fold it up to keep in my trunk in the spring and summer months, and I've also taken it on several camping trips over the years. With just one person, there is plenty of room to pack a cooler, and my favorite option is using bungee cords to strap down gear to the front or back of the kayak.

This kayak has many great surprises, the valves (Boston valves) let air in one direction to inflate, which is always an issue with air mattresses, and things that need a real firm pressure. The provided foot pump is ample, but makes for a tiresome setup, but still in under 10 minutes. The repair set for small holes and punctures works great, I've had a small puncture sealed back to normal for almost two years. Paddling is smooth with the two skegs (fins) on the underside provide straight steering and efficiency.

The biggest let down on this kayak is the seats, which are inflated, and do not provide the support of a hard-plastic seat in fiberglass kayaks. Overall though, this kayak can provide a great weekend getaway in the local river/lake/bay. I have not taken it out to the beach, but I believe it would not underperform.

I paid roughly two hundred dollars; a deal for me, but as inflatable kayaks have improved, I would now invest in the Sevylor Colorado Canoe (just like this kayak) because of it's reinforced seats and the option of adding a trolling motor.

very pleased
By bogart
I bought this kayak about 3 weeks ago and have since taken it on 2 trips, one to the NC mountains and one to coastal Maine. I'm delighted with it. We drove to the mountains and I floated about 6 miles down an easy section of the north branch of the New River in it and found it great. The river where I was is simple (easy enough for tubing with no rapids to speak of) and the solo kayak was fun -- and easy to set up, manage, and get back out of the river. For the ocean in Maine I found it less suitable; I'm not a serious kayaker and had limited ability to be in those waters, period (cold Atlantic ocean shore shielded by a few islands). That said, I found the kayak easy to board and to get back out of from the dock of the place where we were staying and enjoyed paddling it around the cove where I was close to shore. I personally didn't feel it was a good boat to take out into more open waters in that setting though more experienced kayakers might disagree; its high profile made it very susceptible to being blown by the wind, and it doesn't track wonderfully, despite its skegs. But I was able to pack it (in a large wheeled duffle) and bring it via airplane + rental car with no trouble and enjoyed having it handy for short / near-to-shore paddles. In Maine I used it with both my preschooler and my mom (not at the same time!) and we found it useful for both purposes -- for me and my kid to float around in a bit, and for me and my mom to paddle along the shore. It's comfortable, but not spacious, for two average sized (5'6" / 150#) women, would be tight, I think, for two people if either were much taller than that. And compared to other kayaks, the price can't be beat. I'd definitely recommend this for someone looking for an affordable entry-level kayak and/or wanting something portable, though as I say were I considering using it with 2 large adults I'd go for the larger (370?) model.

Its light weight notwithstanding, with all its parts (paddles, seats, pump) and packed into the wheeled duffle, the boat only just fit under the airline weight limit for checked bags of 50# -- but it did weigh in under that.

I find the pro package seats only reasonably comfortable and imagine the deluxe seats must be pretty aggravating (though maybe I'm wrong -- I haven't tried them); I'm glad I bought the more expensive and supportive package. I'm pretty inflexible physically, so others may find these seats more acceptable.

Review on set up only
By eclectc
I decided to do a 2 section review while the first part is fresh in my mind. This review is simply on ordering, delivery and set up, not on performance (we still have ice on all our water)
After researching, reading reviews and weighing the pros and cons of hard shell vs. inflatable we decided on inflatable because of the ease of transport and the money saved not having to get a rack installed.

We are middle-aged (hate to say that) beginning kayakers whose goal for now is just to explore smaller lakes and coves. No hassle is a large priority in our lives.

We ordered our SeaEagle 330 and 370 Deluxe on Sunday and they were delivered 5 days later. We had always planned on getting 2 and after reading size reviews we chose the longer 370 so if we wanted to go out together we wouldn't feel cramped (I am 5'6" my husband is 5'10"). We got the 330 thinking we don't need 2 370's

I gave a 4 star rating because the directions enclosed from SeaEagle were pretty useless when it came to setting everything up. Had I not done my homework and watched excellent internet videos it would have been difficult to know where to start.

I finished getting the 370 set up and decided to time myself on the 330. To get the valve caps secured on took 14 minutes to do all nine. I did use the hint of using a blow dryer to soften them. I discovered a turning technique that worked very quickly. In the beginning I admit this was the most challenging (and I broke a fingernail)

To inflate I used the foot pump that came with it. I discovered doing the sides first, then the bottom, then the spray skirt worked best. Each side and the bottom took me about 80 presses of the foot pump. Total inflation including 1 seat took me 12 minutes.

To deflate, roll up and pack into the bag took 8 minutes.

I realize it would take longer if it needed to be dried off.

I was able to easily pack the 330 myself but I think I would need a little help with the 370 (but I won't be using that solo anyway)

Plan on about 1/2 hour for the first setup and I would advise you do it at home to get familiar with everything and make sure everything seals well. I am thinking the claims that you can be in the water in 15 minutes will be true!

Now the most difficult part is waiting for the ice to go and for it to warm up enough to get out on the lake! I will publish a review on that from a beginners viewpoint when it finally happens
