does the middle seat come out to be used for one person kayaking like the sevylor models?

it can be removed. it has some hard lugs at that position that make it not a perfect place to sit, but you could.

From what I have seen, the seat on that kayak is set up the same as this one. Two straps clipped to the front of it and two clipped behind it. It should fit fine.

2 seats, yes. They are built in and very comfortable. Paddles, no. You'll need to get them separately.

This will handle one kayak. If your want to transport two, you need to buy another set.

It is very manageable with just one paddler. I do most of my paddling in it alone and never have any problem.

Yes, but it doesn't work well. It is flimsy and not that adjustable. That said, our grandkids were able to learn to kayak and maneuver this boat easily. They are 7 and 9. We love the boat.

Yes absolutely it's actually easier to paddle with one person then two. Gives you more room. It is easy to carry.

Yes, as it shows in the picture. The 2 straps hanging down are adjustable. Make sure you hang it high enough to store 2 kayaks.

Yes, the seats have both Velcro attachments on the floor and quick release straps. You can also adjust the straps for comfort. When paddling alpine it helps to sit in the front otherwise you ride high and it is hard to paddle. Make sure to use the skeg.

Yes. We use ours to carry two sit-on-top kayaks. We carry them upside down with the stern forward. They are secured by two flat straps with camlocks for each kayak - one on the front rack and one on the rear. The straps form a loop from the underside of the rack in the middle of the rack up over one kayak then under the rack on the outer edge (but behind the vertical support) with the camlock up high on the side of the kayak and the strap pulled as tight as possible. We bought the racks for this purpose and have been very pleased with them. The guys at Wind and Wave in Corpus Christi TX showed us how to strap them down. Never had any problem. Yes.

Yes, kayaking solo is stable enough. Try kayaking from the real seat to see is that is better than kayaking from the center seat.

There is a seat and a bar across the front that keeps the side apart. You are submerged in the water a few inches. It's great for the price, but the bar does make entry/exit difficult, especially with fins on. If you're able to spring for a higher-end product, you want one with a strap around the whole outside. However, this one is certainly adequate for floating down the river in what is, essentially, and easy-chair.

I kayak in mine. Had to wear a couple times to work in the fit, but i really like it especially for the price. Just get right size,

Mine has a back with a pocket and quick release buckles. So, the gel seat back is in front of your kayak's original seat and the back with the buckles drapes down the rear of the kayak's original seat, then you clip the buckles to hold it in place. It has worked well and is an easy on/off.

The foot peddles are adjustable so I would imagine it would comfortable. The total cockpit is only 21.5" wide and has a weight limit of 250lbs. The seat and back are padded and very comfortable for a 4 hour / 12 mile trip. I'm 5'7 so I can't say for sure. You can measure yourself and see if you are within the limits. There are Kayaks made especially for taller paddlers.

Yes it does. Kayak works well for touring. It is not very fast, so don't try to race anyone with it!

Yes it does. I ordered the center support bar separately and I was even able to fit it in the bag with the kayak.
