This is how my FeelFree Lure 13.5 is set up. I have had this boat for 9 months now. I have used it in rivers, high winds, open water, strong current, skinny water and in the dark. This is a safe, reliable boat. Just about any kayak will get you out on the water but only a good kayak will take care of you once you are out there. The Lure 13.5 is that kind of kayak.
