Do the seat locations adjust and can one person navigate the kayak well or is it just for two?

I am using by myself most of the time. It is easily to navigate. The seats are also inflatable you can put them wherever you want.

Can move the seats. One person can handle it fine but it is just so fun with two.

this was a gift for our son in florida. i do believe this can be used by 1 or two people & the seats can be moved.

You can put one or two seats "anywhere" inside the kayak. I actually took one seat and turned it around when I go out paddling by myself, to use as additional backrest to my seat, although it's not necessary. You wont be disappointed.

yes seats are easily adjustable.Would suggest you buy the upgraded seats.More comfortable.Yes you can navigate the 330 alone.

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

They do flex somewhat. It's not required to have the kayak keel meet the bottom center edge of the saddle; side contacts are enough. Remember the straps, along with the saddle contact points all work to make it safe and stable. I also use a bow line for added security and it's a nice visual reminder that the kayaks are still there :).

Hi Natalie, sorry I didn't reply sooner. I've used my Coleman 2-person a few times with just me and it handled pretty well. Since it's longer, it won't manuever quite as well as a smaller single, but as long as you're not making a lot of tight turns I wouldn't think it would be a problem. FYI, I bought the double because my 20-year old daughter (150 lbs) has cerebral palsy and can't do many outdoor activities, but she can ride in the front seat and I paddle from the back. I've also taken along a large male friend who couldn't paddle due to shoulder issues and was able to handle all the paddling--we weren't going very fast but were able to keep up with some others fairly well. Let me know if you'd like more info.

I have used it with just one kayak without having any problems. I just stick it on the passenger side. No stability problems here. As far as the plastic tightener coming loose, I test it every time I have used it, but barely any slippage, even if it has been a couple weeks.

It takes a bit getting use to, but I actually think it is more stable than a regular paddle board because of the shape of the base of the kayak. Not as flat as a board so it provides a little more support in the water. I love mine, although I use it more for kayaking. More relaxing.

Yes, one person can paddle it with no problem. I usually do the paddling for both me and my daughter, who is disabled, but have occasionally paddled alone. I'd recommend getting a better paddle than the one that comes with the kayak, though.

Like I said it handled 2 kayaks well. So 100lbs? Don't over tighten and I would recommend the taller ones for the jeep. I found myself wanting more room under.

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,

Yes it is worth the money to get the better seats. We have both the 3 seat and the 2 seat. I am 5'6 and my husband is about 5'9. We have gone together in the 3 sweater and he can stretch his legs out nicely. If you get the 2 seated you won't be able to stretch your legs much. The 2 is easier to go alone in but the 3 is not too bad to paddle alone. If you plan on going on excursions longer than a couple of hours I would suggest you get the longer one if their will always be 2 people.

I am also a first time kayak owner. I have used it 3 times and as far as I can tell it seams to be a good choice. So far I would buy it again.

It is most definatly a 2 person kayak. For one person it is very cumbersome. Difficult to steer and slow going.

It's all a matter of balance; with two people should work. Also would work best with a narrow kayak.

I have used the kayak on lakes and in fairly calm ocean conditions without the additional frame and have not noticed any lack of stability. It also performed well in a fairly strong current in Puget Sound.

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.

They don't. They go in one window and out the other and around the kayak. Find another system if you can. This is no more than a couple blocks of foam and a couple straps.

they are adjustable and can be set as far apart as the cross bar - the one on my MINI Countryman is about 4ft and I have then set to handle the kayak at about 2ft apart - 2 pair come in the kit and can be used either clamped on or set in a slot and tightened down - the slot attachment is not an easy fit, but does look better in my opinion
