Just to update:

I finally had a chance to get the kayak on the water to try is out and I loved it! I have a lot of back trouble and wasn't sure I could even sit in the seat without too much pain but the seat was amazingly comfortable. While I doubt I can spend all day on it since I have trouble spending all day doing anything without too much pain I was able to easily spend a couple hours testing it out so I know I can at least go for a few hours getting some exercise while having fun doing something I love.

This Kayak is really sweet and really everything I could have wanted. I caught a couple small large mouth and a nice sized bluegill and since I was using my ultralight it was a blast. Reminded me of fishing out of a canoe when I was a boy.

Even better LL Bean ended up running a sale this week for an additional 20% off (ends today I think if anyone wants to take advantage) so I called them and they just credited my charge card back the difference!
