![]() This one, take and put the lid back on it and get it out of the way here. You have two, one right there, one right there, built-in rod holders. I got it for $225 at Walmart ( Check price on Amazon here) because it’s missing the one bungee cord, which I can cut the ends off of an actual bungee cord, run it through those holes and fix it for about 25 cents, so I wasn’t going to pass that deal up. We got some scupper plugs to put in there.Įach side has a holder. Right now I just have some regular stuff in there, but that’ll be one of the mods we make is waterproofing it because no matter what they tell you, this is not 100% watertight. Here in the middle you have a storage container. Pretty thick and heavy rubberized stuff for putting gear behind. Who knows? You can carry two of them if you want. Here in the middle you got a water bottle holder, a swivel mount rod holder that comes with it.Īnother little compartment right here for just putting whatever you want, maybe a drink. As you can see, you got adjustable foot pegs on each side. I’m just going to go over a few features with it here, and then we’ll post another video about the modifications I’m going to make to it to kind of customize it.įirst off, we’ll start off up here in the front. What we have here is the SunDolphin Journey SS. Like I said, I really, really like it.Īll right. I got it at Walmart.įor a beginning kayaker, I would probably give this thing 8 out of 10. Like I said, I got this kayak on sale, I had some coupons. So like I said, overall, I thought it was a … It’s really a great kayak for the price of it. I did like the storage compartments here on the side. With the stability, it was a little bit more stable, so it was easier to get to my packs back here, which was kind of nice. But I think I’m going to get some of those plugs. You can get … you can plug up these holes. So I think I’m going to get some of those scupper plugs, I think that’s what they call them. Even though it was pretty nice today, it did get a little chili. It is the middle of February, it’s about 65 degrees. The thing about this one, though, is my butt got extremely wet. ![]() ![]() This compartment here, I told you it was … They said that it’s not waterproof, you can tell. The rod holders, here in the front, was really nice, I really liked it. It did want to steer a little bit to the left when I was in the water, but it wasn’t hard to handle at all. But it tread in the water really, really good. I didn’t think it would glide through the water as well as my other kayaks, because they kind of have a V bottom, V bottom to them, this is more flat. But the stability was awesome, I really liked how sturdy it was. Where my sitting kayaks, I was kind of limited on my movements inside the kayak. The stability of it was really, really good. So I wasn’t really sure what to think about it. I researched this thing online, it did get some pretty bad reviews, it also got some really good reviews. My overall impression of it is really good. Okay, so I took the Journey 10 SS kayak out for about three hours. You have your foot rest here, which you can move. That will fit in there and you can hold your rods. So what I’ll probably do is take these screws out and I’ll put some kind of marine sealant around there to make it completely dry.ĭrink holder, you have a rod holder here, which I have a attachment in the back. It does state, though, it’s not completely dry. This one has a little dry compartment here, which is kind of cool. Then it opens that whole compartment there. The cool thing about this one is, this actually comes out and you could do as a pull behind, behind the kayak and it floats, so you can tie it off. This one, of course, has the dry box container in here, which you can open up here. Several kind of cool features to this one. My other kayaks are sit-in kayaks, this is my first sit on top, so going to see how it does. Well, it’s the 19th of February and it’s going to be 70 degrees today, so I figured I’d take the new Sun Dolphin Journey kayak out.
