![]() ![]() I like the ability to slide the front seat into the position needed. There is plenty of storage space in the bow/stern for gear, just make sure you balance the weight for an even ride. The paddle holders are a nice touch and I store an extra paddle in one of them. The yak is very stable but will roll under the right conditions. The seats are "ok" and I've been comfortable sitting in them for long periods of time. I've found it to be responsive to steering in lake or slow moving river conditions. I can paddle and steer the yak with confidence, even with a child on board. In ideal conditions, two people are needed to load/unload the yak from the roof, but it can be done by one person if needed. It loads and transports easily on the roof rack of a minivan. The polylink 3 hull holds up well to bumps and scraps. If you're looking for a tandem, STAY AWAY from the 138t! It is not a tandem.Īcquired this "cloud" color yak at a "end of summer sale" and found it hard to resist the excellent price. So glad to be rid of the Loon 138t I can't even put it into words. ![]() After only 5 times out I sold it for $525 and with another $100 bought a Perception Prodigy II 14.5. THANKFULLY, I only paid $300 used with one original paddle plus another $50 for a 2nd paddle. The only good thing I can say about this kayak is I liked the bungee cords that hold the paddles at the edge. ![]() Front passenger can barely get into their seat. ![]() Had to wrap my bare feet around the back of the front seat. Even moving the rear seat further back than stock and the front seat all the way forward, it was still VERY cramped for my 34" inseam, my knees were still way in the air, and foot position very uncomfortable. This tub is not an ounce under 78lb! The cockpit width is only 18" and that's being generous. To say the weight is under reported also an understatement. To say adapting the Loon 138 into a 138t was an afterthought would be an understatement. Bought a used Loon 138t for my wife and I to "enjoy". ![]()
