The one at eCrater that I posted above DOES have the good seats for $245. The amazon had the bad seats.

In for 2. Why buy one when you can buy two at twice the price?

I have read others that have gotten this deflated craft into a Miata's trunk, which is a requirement for me. I have also read many reviews saying it's cramped for two people, so 2 solo kayaks, it will be. This will make the GF happy because my paddling technique frustrates her immensely and it'd be best for our relationship for me to thrash around in my own space.

Yea, that is the best deal for the 330 series. I decided to go with the larger and thicker 370 series Pro package for $290 shipped from Overstock.

Link to Overstock please?

Had a friend who used this model about once a week for a few years...said it was great. The only thing was that the seat sometimes got uncomfortable.

I've had this kayak for 3 years now. We use it for fishing in ponds, bays, and at the beach. It is awesome for the family, stores nicely, is simple to set up, and is very durable. There's nothing like being dragged around a bay by a redfish on the other end of the line! This is a great price compared to what I paid on amazon a few years ago.

Price is $290 shipped when you add it to your cart.

Do they sell these at sunflower's Sporting Goods.

Language filters can make you look like a sunflower-head.

Interior: 9' 6" x 1' 1"
So it's 13 inches wide? What if your butt is more like 17 inches wide? Also, could you upgrade the seat yourself with one of those stadium chair things?

That's what she said... ^.^

I got it back in the bag, first try. Cleaned up and dried off quickly too. Only issue is the rope. You can't just wipe the rope dry, so after you get it back home you'll need to pull it back out of the bag until the rope drys, or deal with mildew.

How difficult is it to get back into the carrying case?

Doesn't it have to be washed and thoroughly dried before storage? Seems like it would get awfully smelly if it went into the bag wet.

So nice to have a family of Wooters! #2 son dithered about it online for a while, but when neither parent told him he was crazy, he bit...

His parents have purchased a gazillion dollar life insurance policy on his life.

In for 2, now hunting for 2 better seats then what this one comes with. Used a sea eagle with the pro seats, those have a canvas cover and were comfortable. So if any one knows where to get those seats at a good price please post a link.

Kids don't need a seat. Only the person with the paddle needs a seat. I actually deflated the bottom of my seat so I was basically sitting on the floor. Inflated it seemed to high.

Put the kids on the floor, or find a 2 inch cushion for them to sit on to keep thier bums dry.

alekdavis wrote:Too bad it comes with just one seat. For someone going solo, this is not a bad deal, but I'm planning to take my kids (one at a time), and one seat will not make it. I'm not sure if you can by a regular seat separately, but the deluxe version costs about $50. For around $200, you can by SE330 with two seats, so don't see any savings from Woot. Too bad.

Anyways Here is the Sea Eagle Website

And a video from Carol Derer. She loves her Kayak (canoe?)

HAHAHAHAHAHA Carol is kayaking with her paddle upside down. don't have much faith in her user review of how great a boat it is.

There are instructions on the Sea Eagle web site. There is a patch kit in the supplies that came with the raft.

I got the 370 Deluxe for $239
but wished to get the 370 Pro (for $279). You have to add it to check out to see price lower.
http://www.boatownersworld.com/seaeagle/sea_eagle_370.htm

It turned out they ship with missing nozzle and mis-match paddle. A quick call and the problem was resolved within the same week (replacement part ship directly from sea eagle)

Costco.com (membership needed) has the 370 'startup' for $219.99 but not sure it includes the bag.

I agree with an earlier post:

This is not a pool toy. It would be more than fine in a lake or river with class 1 rapids.

Do note that this is more of a one person craft, unless both people in the boat are petite.

I have their higher end model, the 380x. This (and Aire) are what you will find white water rafting companies renting out as "duckies." It's rated for class IV, but I only take my novice butt on III and below.

If I didn't already have one, I'd be all over this.

Good boy. Sit.

Okay, but which sunflower did you prefer?

The first sunflower was good, but the second sunflower was better. A hard choice between sunflowers.

I purchased this kayak with the upgraded seats about 3 weeks ago. I purchased it as an entry level kayak. I live in a condo and this the SE330 is easy to store, transport and inflate/deflate.

I used it in a kayaking class. I even let this instructor try it out and she liked it.

It's not as fast as a hard shelled kayak but I'm not interested in speed (though I was just as fast as most in the class). I kayak for exercise and relaxation.

So far I like the sport enough to upgrade next year and will most likely purchase another inflatable.

4 days after purchase and still no shipping information? Are they custom building them to order?

I count 3 days and I'm as impatient as you. I went back through my old Woot orders and see it's about 3 days average between my order confirmation and the shipping notice. Nothing out of the ordinary yet.

I live pretty close to Woot, so my shipments usually come quickly. It's not uncommon for my package to arrive before the shipping notification email does.

Got email notice today, FedEx status is "on truck for delivery". If I hadn't checked my email this morning, it would've happened to me.

skshowa wrote:4 days after purchase and still no shipping information? Are they custom building them to order?

Got notification this morning, should be here by Tuesday.

Mine arrived this morning. Two boxes per, one for the paddle, one for the kayak/seat/case.

We'll test it out tomorrow.

In the meantime, here's a video from the manufacturer showing how to assemble & inflate.

Got mine. Set up fine. But no carry bag in boxes (2). What gives?

I've read reviews where people struggle with the valve installation, so here's a quick video showing how to install the rings over the valves.

https://vimeo.com/46126232

No carry bag. I will try and contact Sea-Eagle.

I found the carry bag after unrolling the kayak to check it out. The bag was inside the kayak, along with the two seats.

Both our boats came with the carrying cases and seats folded up inside the boat.

We took the boats down to White Rock Lake in Dallas yesterday. We had attached the valves earlier, in the air conditioned comfort of the living room. Inflating the boats was easy, took just a few minutes; our only problem is that I had left the inflation guide ruler at home, so we had to guess on the proper pressure on the side chambers.

This lake is flatwater, no motorboats or jet skis allowed, and little wind meant the water was very calm and flat. In these conditions, at least, the boats felt safe and steady. Compared to a traditional hard shell kayak, they did yaw a bit more. I wonder if that is related to the side inflation, if the pressure didn't exactly match? And I may experiment with seat position, see if that helps to minimize the yaw. Still, a relatively minro issue.

The only other quibble is that the paddles are on the heavy side. Considering a good set of lighter paddles starts around $100, it was not a surprise. But new paddles will likely be our first upgrade.

I found the seat very comfortable, though someone with better paddling technique than me might find it's hard to keep forward enough.

Overall, I was generally pleased with how the boat felt and handled, and am happy with the purchase.

My kayak shipped to some random address in Iowa. No clue why. Hopefully this gets corrected soon. This is when having a number to call is nice. No reply from support@woot yet.

One call and one email with order info, and I received my missing seat. Great Sea-Eagle service!

same thing happened to me. i'm in UT and my 2 kayaks shipped to CA. I emailed support and didn't get a response. I tweeted at them and got a response within a few minutes.. I'm sure you have it resolved by now, but for future reference, twitter worked well.
