    I added the Moken 10 to my fleet of kayaks. Awesome little kayak. Love the wheel in the keel . There's only 1 thing I would change , the rail is different from all my other kayaks. You have to have adapter to attach my rod holders.

    Wonderful review. How is the v2 in open ocean bay fishing? I've seen reviews of the v1 having issues with taking on water because of lack of scuppers and front hatch seal. I'm planning on fishing off the coast of Camden, Rockland, Maine in between the islands.
    Be safe out there! Bob

    Really pay attention to the rear rudder. If you load or unload it to steep an angle, it will catch the bottom of it and crack/ tear the plastic, and you'll have a hole in your kayak. That was the biggest headache for me with this kayak. Had to get it repaired. I wish they would have redesigned that, that's the biggest weakness of that boat.

  • @danaparks8812

    I'm going to take this into great consideration for when I want to purchase something very similar. It's not going to be too much longer until I'm back out there with everyone, just two weeks of inpatient PT, followed by probably another month of outpatient. Plenty of time to start saving up for my dream kayak! All I can say is it's got to be super stable like the one you got, plus it's got to have a lot of room to put stuff in my opinion, much like that one here. And don't worry yes I'll definitely try to get a hold of the company that you got yours from just to see if they can offer me anything that way. Also because I need to talk to people that are reputable and knowledgeable about kayaks in general (fishing above all else)....
    GREAT VIDEO ALL TOGETHER!
    Very entertaining (as well)

    I have the Lure II v1 with peddle drive and I am thinking about getting the Dorado v2. My question is does the bow take on water and get into the storage compartment where all the wires are and in the hull. I live in Riverview and only have taken my kayak on rivers near me. This is my only concern about the boat.

    • @CameramanRon

      I have had no water come over the bow. They made it a little deeper to prevent that.

    I've had a lure 2 tandem for years. Most people recommend loc titing the bolts that hold the gravity seat together so they don't vibrate loose. Only real issue I have had with mine is the 8 ball steering. Feelfree has the best customer service in the business.
