Very happy with my Blackfoot HB 2 person fishing kayak. It is very easy to setup and breakdown. The cooler, seat and scotty mounts are icing on the cake. My only complaint is that it is difficult to stand up in it. My wife has an AquaGlide Cascade SUP that is rigid as a board and easy to stand up on. The Blackfoot is not easy to stand up in because the insert hard bottom is very narrow. Not nearly as easy as the Cascade. However, if you like to sit and fish, this is one awesome fishing kayak. I am very happy and will have to develop my balance to a higher level of precision.

The Blackfoot HB has capacity for two, but is designed as a very spacious one-person boat to meet the needs of the technical angler. Paddling or angling, Blackfoot HB means performance at its finest! If you're serious about kayak angling then the Blackfoot HB is built for you. Designed with extra width for added stability, this boat also has a long waterline and tapered bow for quickly covering distance with ease. The boat is loaded with well-placed mounting plates for Scotty accessories and combines Aquaglide's tough Duratex tube construction with a supremely stiff Hard-Bottom floor for stand-up stability. Blackfoot HB is built to provide peak performance for years to come. Supremely well-suited for adventure touring or all-around use, this boat is up for almost any adventure, but designed with angling in mind.
Commercial-grade Duratex hull construction provides long-lasting performance. High-pressure HB floor creates a solid Hard-Bottom cockpit that is stiff and stable enough to allow standing. The boats inflatable tubes are 1000-denier, 850gsm Duratex reinforced PVC with the hull manufactured from 500-denier, and 600g Duratex reinforced PVC. The high-pressure HB floor is made with reinforced 8cm Dropstitch construction that creates a solid Hard-Bottom platform that feels every bit as stiff and responsive as a hard shell kayak.
The Blackfoot features 7 convenient molded mounting plates for Scotty accessories. Forward Splash-Guard helps keep paddlers dry. Forward-mounted adjustable elastic accessory straps and plentiful tie-downs provide easy stowage for dry bags or other gear. Sturdy molded handles are positioned around the boat for convenient boarding and transport. Rugged Core seat is mounted on a removable, raised platform for a higher seating position. Seat offers a wide array of thoughtful features including high backrest, closed cell seat cushion, mesh storage pocket, integrated fishing-rod holders, fore and aft support straps and an infinite adjustment system so it can be placed anywhere in the cockpit. Seat also has adjustable back straps to keep you in your seat no matter what the water brings you. Adjustable foot rest improves comfort and paddling efficiency.
High-performance fin system includes stiff, durable, foiled fin with unique quick-release for easy setup. The kayak uses high pressure spring valve using Halkey-Roberts type fitting for tubes and floor for easy inflation/deflation and comes with a cockpit drain that allows easy drainage of water from the boat. The Blackfoot HB 2 Kayak has heavy duty D-rings for accessory tie-down and seating support and comes with a durable zippered cooler with four rod holders that secures to the boats infinite adjustment system. The kayak measures (L x W) 155" x 39" (394cm x 99cm), and has a maximum weight capacity of 600lbs (272kg). The kayak is a 3 chamber design for added safety with an inflatable floor. The boat comes with a repair kit; owner's manual, convenient travel/storage backpack bag and is covered by a 12 month limited warranty.
