Question

after reading some reviews it appears the seat has no drainage holes
so you sit in a puddle

it has a tendency to drift sideways (wind shear ) and not track true
sometimes right after a cast

the front hatch is difficult to access and the foam rails on the inside
are low quality

Might be an "OK" boat if you are only going down to the pond. I would certainaly not recommend it for the salt. If you are going to use it mainly for fishing, you should consider a SOT (sit on top) instead of a SINK (sit in).
