boatadmin –
My wife Nancy and I took our 420X Deluxe through Ruby Canyon of the Colorado, 26 miles of flatwater and Class 2. At 6’5″ and 5’6″ we are “Big People” yet the inflatable seats were quite comfortable and sat high enough to give us a stronger paddling angle while keeping our bottoms above any bilge water, and were easily removable for lunch on a sandbar. The boat is wide enough to be stable and comfortable, yet paddles easily enough to make good headway against winds. Unlike some brands requiring partial deflation to install or remove the skeg, this design allows easy switching from skeg-less (for shallow waters), or skeg-on (for better tracking). Unlike some designs, skeg-less is a true option since the 420X does track OK even without the skeg. With the self-bailing ports open, we could have used another inch of thickness in the drop stitch floor to float us totally out of the bilge water, but the inflatable seats added enough height to keep us fairly dry. I’ve tested several IK’s and this one is the keeper due to its well-rounded performance and comfort. And with Tim’s good customer service, good prices, and good product, I am now considering buying another kayak from Tim’s Inflatable Boats 4 Less.
