I give this kayak a five star rating due to being versatile, its stability and its ride height. But with the help of YouTube and experience loading becomes easier and easier. The weight of the 130T is a little daunting it first and its sheer size can make loading a chore. But they left the sides of the hulls open to fit 16" track mounts in each slot that means 64" of track mounts could be avalible to use and to a tournament angler.that means the world. While riding solo it is almost impossible to reach the two flush mount rod holders in the back. The ability to ride solo is also great and the changing of seat positions is unnoticeable when thinking of the stability. Being a tandem kayak, its balance and stability is unmatched. The Yellowfin 130T is a great kayak for anyone. Vibe has set out to make kayaks for fun and little worry and they have succeeded at lower prices than we expected.
VIBE KAYAK PLUS
A big plus also is that fact that the rails are prepped to receive optional track, and the positions can be reached from inside the hatches to use through bolts for security. We use a flip-top cooler that is easy to reach from that seating position.
IN the stern, right behind the rear seat position is a great cooler space. The real payback is the very comfortable seats and the large, well placed storage hatches and bungeed recesses for tackle, or what have you. Plus, it's still easy turning in a pinch. We want to be comfortable out in nature and with the Vibe's tunneled hull design, wider profile and design we have it in spades. We found that adding the rudder on our last boat made for a much more stable paddle and much easier to paddle to windward.
VIBE KAYAK INSTALL
We opted i=to install a rudder system, which the kayak is ready to receive including nicely installed internal running tubes to keep the rails clear. First, off, this is a beautifully made kayak rigged to drop right in. Coming from a more traditional, Wilderness Systems Pamlico 145, we had shared the learning curve for a few years, but when I began seeing Vibe ads and testimonials popping up I began wondering if a fishing sit on top paddling platform might be a bit more comfortable for our old bones.
