Took out a Kilroy today for a quick paddle in a small stream. I'm new at all this still but man Jackson seems to be knocking it outa the park this year. This is one of those boats you just want to tinker with and sit in. On the way home 2 people at a gas station stopped me to tell me they had one and loved it.
On the water its FAST! It doesn't handle like my other boats so I think I just need to get used to how to manuver it but my initial impression is that its just not made to manuver like the other boats. Not a big deal I have other boats for that.
What I LOVE is the built in rod holders that hold a 9' fly rod safe and completely outa harms way, and there are four of them!! You can remove and replace the rods from the seated or standing position. THAT IS SWEEEEET!
There are four Yak Attack?? rails mounted on the boat, 2 forward, and 2 aft. You can purchase alot of different accessories for these rails.
It comes with one Ram ball head and one ram rod holder.
The secondary stability in the sitting position seems almost unflippable on flat water. I'm sure I'll put that theory to the test...
The Stability in the standing position is pretty close to that of the Cosa.
There is a sealed rear hatch that will make a nice place to keep a rain jacket, a few cold beers, and a small dry box.
My initial impression is, I'm blown away. I want to go out there right now and tinker with it. Can't wait to put it through some Mike and Dave adventures. Hopefully I'll be catching some Redfish outa this in a few weeks.
