The BKC PK14 was designed for speed, stability, and to help make every moment spent out on the water a moment you and your kayak mate will relish. Every moment aboard this 2-person twin-propeller pedal tandem kayak is an adventure, whether youвЂ™re cruising downriver, cutting across the open water of a lake or bay, or casting a line in search of your favorite fish. But the most impressive characteristics of this kayak are clearly its stability, handling and maneuverability, which surpass that of most similarly priced kayaks.You can try to be bored on the Brooklyn Kayak Company BKC PK14 Angler Tandem Pedal Kayak, but you probably wonвЂ™t pull it off. It doesnвЂ™t include a standing platform, nor does the manufacturer specifically recommend standing in the craft, but a few anglers reported that it is probably stable enough that you could stand up if you wanted to do so. It provides plenty of storage space for most anglers вЂ“ especially for those who use this kayak in solo fashion вЂ“ and plenty of rod holders for extended trips.

It is a robust kayak that is built to perform well in moderately rough waters, and it is designed to hold an impressive amount of weight. The UH-TK181 is one of the leading tandem-style fishing kayaks at the intermediate price point. A few customers did report that the fishing rod holders slightly obstructed their paddling motion, but this wasnвЂ™t an especially common complaint. Several anglers also reported that it was easy to pilot the wave through small waves and relatively rough waters. In fact, several anglers reported that it was easy to maneuver even when piloted by a single rider sitting in the back seat. It tracks very well, thanks to the included keel, and it is easy to turn on a dime. The UH-TK181 is a very maneuverable craft for a tandem-style kayak, and most anglers who tried it found that it performed very well. It is also a very buoyant craft, and several anglers mentioned that it was capable of supporting more than 450 pounds вЂ“ its listed capacity. Several anglers found it stable enough to accommodate children or dogs, and although it isnвЂ™t specifically designed for standing, a few anglers felt confident enough to stand up while fishing in it.

In fact, stability was one of the most consistently praised aspects of the craft by those whoвЂ™d tried it. The UH-TK181 is a very stable craft, and most anglers found that it handled moderate waves well and cut through choppy water without any problems. In fact, a few anglers reported that it is large enough that you can lay down in the kayak when you need a break. The UH-TK181 is a roomy kayak, and, unlike some other tandem models that make riders feel a bit cramped, the UH-TK181 provides plenty of room for both passengers. However, a few anglers desired a little more back support and found it necessary to swap out the included seats for aftermarket models. Most anglers found the seats to be comfortable, and they are easy to adjust to provide the most comfort for your body type. The UH-TK181 provides a pretty comfortable ride, thanks in part to the deluxe seats included with the kayak.

It is a little heavier than many other kayaks, but this is to be expected from a relatively long, tandem-style kayak that is built to support two full grown adults.

It features a smooth, angular hull to help it cut through all types of water, and it also features a central keel and four deep channels to help keep it stable, provide plenty of maneuverability and ensure it tracks well while you head from one fishing spot to the next. Most kayakers who tried the craft found that the plastic was tough, resilient and resistant to scratches. Like most Brooklyn Kayak Company crafts, the UH-TK181 is built from lightweight, yet strong polyethylene. The craft is relatively heavy, but it is still very easy for two people to carry it.
