Hi all, I am hoping to pick up a Kayak this month for fishing in among the reefs around Jersey where I live.
I had narrowed it to the OK prowler 13 and the Moken from Feelfree, both of which are available locally for a good price.
However, the place I found those two also has one of these "Strike" Islanders, a pontoon hull, purpose built fishing kayak, and it's some £100 cheaper.
The thing is all I can find online is places selling them, and the manufacturers page....here;

It seems really well specced, comes with a scotty rodholder, a decent rod hatch with internal bag, a good tankwell and a nice seat in the price too.
It has one large central scupper, with a bung on a leash, I've never seen that on other kayaks.
From researching online, it seems to share alot of design features with the Wilderness systems "Ride 135", and I think it may be a similar moulding.
The thing is, I can't find anyone who seems to be using/has tried one, and I wonder if there is a reason for this.
Anyone know anything, good or bad?
Cheers,
Rick
