very nice, practical, it has 2 truly waterproof compartments for items, about 15 lt each, the extra seat is necessary. it has very good navigation and stability, a man can lift it by himself to carry it. finally, it is beautiful

For its price, it's worth it. Seat and central rod holder are definitely needed for fishing, but they are extra. Stable with good fishing spaces, you can comfortably fish up to 3 Beaufort. Because it is short, it needs adjustments to keep it straight on course. Its innovation is that it has a ready-made spot for a depth sounder

After using it for about two months and taking many trips, not just coastal but also with long distances from the shore and in different sea conditions, I can write my comment, which again may not be 100% objective!
I come from the inflatable two-seater and very reliable!!! INTEX CHALLENGER (79€) that gave me and my family nice and long trips for three years!
Now it's time for me to switch to a plastic, single-seater kayak that is suitable for fishing.
2) I was torn between Life Sport Timo VK-05, Life Sport Lango VK-04, Gobo Salt Sot, SCK Conger, Force Andara Sot Full, and Argo Kayak Ares SOT, so after two months of research on the internet without seeing them in person, I found the following:
a) Life Sport Timo VK-05: a new product, available in 22 stores, cheap (305€), width 83cm, tall 36cm, but short 265cm??
b) Life Sport Lango VK-04: a new product, available in 24 stores, cheap (345€), width 80cm?, tall 36cm, long 295cm!!!
c) Gobo Salt Sot: an old and tested product, with good reviews, available in 24 stores, expensive (475€), width 83cm, tall 36cm, long 285cm (note: this includes a seat and paddle worth 50€ as a gift)
d) SCK Conger: an old product, available in 5 stores, expensive!! (479€), width 80cm?, tall 36cm, long 294cm.
e) Force Andara Sot Full: an old and tested product, available in 24 stores, good price (415€), width 78cm?, tall 40cm!!, long 275cm?? (note: this includes an aluminum seat and paddle worth 70€ as a gift!!)
f) Argo Kayak Ares SOT: an old product, available in 5 stores, moderate price (450€), width 83cm, tall 31cm??, long 285cm (note: this includes an aluminum seat and paddle worth 70€ as a gift!! And it has large storage spaces!)
It's hard to choose when you don't have them in front of you and when there's no chance to test them in the sea at the same time!
So I decided to go for the Gobo Salt Sot for 399€, and at some point, while everything seemed fine, they told me it's actually 475€, so I gave up on the Gobo!
I went for the two LIFE SPORT kayaks and consulted the dealership to choose between the two, and I chose the Life Sport Lango VK-04 for 345€ plus a deluxe seat for 34€, making it a total of 380€! And I ordered it!
I received it with regret and curiosity, and I noticed that there is an opening in the center of the hull for something to be placed there.
I contacted the dealership and complained mainly because there was no photo showing this detail, and I asked if it affects the speed while paddling!
The gentleman who spoke to me was very polite and told me that it's a "window" accessory for seeing fish when fishing and that it doesn't affect the paddling. He also apologized for the lack of a photo of the bottom view of the kayak (hull), and they immediately provided it to the merchants to upload it along with the others.
It's worth noting that he suggested I return the kayak to the store where I bought it at his instruction.
I didn't return it, and on the same day, I tried it out, even in difficult conditions with headwind, waves, and a 3.5 Beaufort, and in all my trips, I always encountered strong winds and waves, with the climax being the last one on September 18th, where I started with calm weather and ended up paddling against a 4 Beaufort west wind and higher waves.
My conclusion after 2 months: A M A Z I N G!!!! Stable!!!!!! Fast!!! and its size is very satisfying!
Luckily I didn't get the small one! The 295cm is good and if you want my opinion, don't get a canoe below 285cm!
I believe that I have chosen this specific canoe (cheap and with free shipping), what its special features are, and ultimately what its value is in the sea with what I have written to cover you because I am sure that others have bought it but didn't evaluate it.
Note: Construction-wise, it is exactly the same as the SCK Conger (which costs €100 more) with the difference that it has the slot for the "eye".
