Final words

I couldn’t be happier after using the BKC TK181 12.5′ Tandem Sit On Top Kayak. It was exactly what I expected – does full justice to its price! Think as if It’s an investment that brings only profit.

Unlike me, if Green Camo is a nice color to you, there’s not a single feature on the kayak you are going to dislike starting from its seating capacity and comforts, so many rod holders, huge storage spaces, huge weight capacity, perfect proportion of width and length, so on and so forth.

This strong vessel will be a great addition to your storing collections! After doing months of paddling and looking deep into every corner of this piece, all I am going to say is – Get this adventure-ready piece, grab your homies, and start planning for vacays!
