Should I get SE370 or SE330 for beginner kayak owner?

I was a first timer with the 370...it's all about space. I'm 6'8", and we can fit me, my wife, my beagle, and tie on a couple backpacks, two chairs, a folding table , a tent... Go small for whitewater, but go 370 for day or multi-day trips.

The bigger one because of cooler and leg room well worth it I love mine its perfect for two people

either would work great. ? is how much weight do you want to carry or people? My understanding is 330 is best for two people max and my 370 carries two adults and one kid easily. hope that helps?

I purchased the kayak so that it would be easy to store and easy to take to a site. The kayak seemed sturdy but, there was a hole within minutes and the kayak deflated quickly. If you are planning on using it on a lake and you swim-then, I think it would be ok. But, using it anywhere that has barnacles or rough edges-definitely not recommended.

You'll be fine. I'm 230 and this thing doesn't even dip when I stand on it. Definitely the right board for you. Might want to look into a bigger paddle, but that's something else entirely. The paddle that comes with the board will definitely get you started.

I would recommend the sevylor rio instead of the quickpack. It is better made and it is open like a canoe. It doesn't track in the water quite as well as the quickpack but for an inflatable it's a fun way to get away from the shoreline and get some exercise.

I personally feel the SE 330 is too clamp even for 2 of 5'5", but for solo, 5'10" should be OK.Whether it's better than the SE 370, the choice is yours. You certainly will get more room with higher price. But since you go tandem only 10%, maybe you can get by with the SE 330, even though kind of crowded. I have used my SE 330 on the Pacific several times without any problems.

No way, man. If you're just starting out and want a foamy, you're going to want a much longer board with better buoyancy:weight. They are expensive, so I suggest renting for a few days and get smart on the characteristics of the board, what length works for you, what's best for your wave conditions, etc.

The Sevylor inflatable has and eyelet in the back. The skeg has a pin that goes into the eyelet. The skek also has a hook that goes over the back of the kayak between the two side tanks. Inflating the kayak holds the skeg in place. It is a good skeg and certainly improves handling. You could probably use angle brackets and maybe an eye-bolt to mount it on other types of kayaks.

I've used my 2-person Coleman on the new paddling trail on the Colorado near Columbus. There's a shallow section of what I'd call Class-.25 rapids--not much more than ripples in fairly slow water, but still a step above flat water-- and the kayak did fine. The sit-on-top Colemans are somewhat wider than the Sevys so they may be a bit less maneuverable, but I've been very impressed with the Coleman's durability.

I think the SC300 upgrade has different pieces than SCJR-100, that make up the difference between 100 and 300 project kits. For individual parts you would be better off getting the p/n from the booklet and contacting customer service listed in the book, in my opinion. List of all parts in the kit should be listed somewhere on the mfg website, if you want to compare the content, or call the 800# and ask to email/fax you content/list of both kits.

Hi Joe - you would definitely need to have aftermarket crossbars installed to accommodate the widths of both of these kayaks on the carrier. You may also need to upsize the bars from what is recommended. Also, please be sure to be attentive to the weight limits of the vehicle, as each of those kayaks are quite heavy.

The explorer is a bigger kayak. Higher side walls. For me the challenger works fine, and I have plenty of space.

The rails are just the base for you to build from. Specific items will need specific supports that will attach to the rails. Kayaks have different carriers/supports than boards etc.

They are exactly the same with the exception of the bag on wheels provided with the LB6800prw. If you don't want the bag, the SE400 is the one you want.

Not so much bro, you want speed? Go for the 29" or you'd have to do a lot of upgrades... Such as getting a brushless motor/esc But it's a nice boat though

You should be able to put one end of the paddle on the ground, and curl your fingertips over the other end at the second knuckle. This will likely be about a 200mm length. However, there are other considerations. It also depends on your kayak and the type of water your plan to kayak in. If your kayak has a wide, stable bottom, you might find the extra length of a 210mm more comfortable. If you plan on river kayaking, the shorter 200mm will be easier to maneuver around river obstacles. If you will only be in lakes, I would go with a 210mm, or even a 220mm. If you plan river kayaking, I think you will be happier with the 200mm. My wife is 5'3". Shis is a beginner, and really likes her 190mm, because we mostly river kayak. This model of paddle is not too expensive, so if you buy it and then don't like the length, you can buy another length and sell this one used on Amazon or some other site and will only be out about $30.

check the width of your rails for two wings. I use one wing on a "V" shaped kayak and Rhino Nautic 571 on a more flat bottom kayak. I have a larger vehicle.

TBuy the SE370. You can't add needed space later. Also get the Pro package seats. They are worth the additional price for comfort and support. The SE330 is just too tight for most people. I wish I had bought the SE370.

I do, but it's not recommended to go by yourself. Bring a life jacket and a leash for your paddle. Rough water can be a challenge for any boat, so just know what you're getting yourself into. Also, pay attention to the tide. If you're paddling to shore while the tide is going out, you're going to be worn out. Just use common sense and keep your head above water and you should be fine. This is a beginner kayak, so it is much easier to balance than most kayaks. 3 other things I would strongly recommend you bringing with you: 1. An anchor, 2. Water, 3. A snack in a dry box. Hope I helped, have fun!
