Tip: buy a drain plug (about $10) and install it for easy after paddling drying out. Everything about it is what you would expect for only paying 379 for it. Very stable, yet good speed for its length - one of the minority of kayaks that can be paddled all the way up to its "theoretical maximum hull speed". It tracks well enough, but had a tendency to start turning or spinning once you stopped paddling which could be slightly annoying when you're trying to get that perfect picture. The Vapor is an excellent first kayak and offers plenty of room to grow. To start, this is a sturdy boat. Very handy if your flexible, and the Vapor's wide "single layer linear Polyethylene" Hull, is more than stable enough to allow one to perform this maneuver. The pillow fills in the space under the PFD to my backside making things right again. It feels good in the water, it is stable. It was hard to adjust & the rope that held the back broke because the system that secured the rope caused it to be frayed & eventually break. I am paddling on longer excursions every weekend and wanted something faster and more comfortable. Overall a light, good performing kayak with need for an improved back adjustment/secure system. I bought the Vapor 10 for a cheap fun boat that I can take onto any body of water that I please. Seems to be very durable, has a nice look, and my 15 year old son who didn't seem to care much about dad getting a kayak is now HOOKED!!! Rods that would stick straight up would not be practical for me. Anglers looking for a compact kayak that can carry a load will love the Vapor 10 Angler. Huge cockpit has enough room for a large dog (I've had 2 in with me) or a small child sitting in front of you. The seats are comfortable for the most part, can get a sore hiney after a few hours of paddling without a break. I'm 6'4 280lbs. I have had lots of experience with canoes and rental kayaks a couple of times. A couple nice extras are the sporty-looking design and the snazzy color patterns available. the quality of it isn't great and its uncomfortable. I read another reviewer's comments. You can buy these all separately, as well. This kayak offers a stable, yet efficient ride. I fit in things that some 175 pounders might not. It's poorly padded, way too wide, and doesn't put you in a good, ergonomic seated position. Submitted by: Submitted by: So i needed something that wouldn't sink when I got in it, as well as something I could get in & out of without trying to squeeze through too small of an opening. Superior materials than other, cheaper kayaks. Also with the storage lid I put on the rear well, it is a little difficult to open. I found the Old Town Vapor 10 to be an exceptional starter kayak for me. It performed well in the water. Mainly, it has the largest cockpit of any other kayak I've seen. It tracked fairly well & was fairly stable even in windy conditions. My wife and I were equally at home even though our experience was in canoes and never in kayaks. If you liked the Trip 10 Angler check out the Old Town Vapor 10 often available at your price range from Dunhams or Dicks. This is a stable little boat that I would recommend for day trips, short camping trips, and fishing. I live in Montana so I have had the opportunity to use it on lots of flat water and the river. I've sat 4 hours in an old style Swifty seat (just a molded plastic bucket that's part of the ‘yak) without any discomfort, where the one in the vapor has me squirming in 30min. The Vapor has a bull design that handles small waves and chop well however larger close waves tend to break over the bow of the boat and enter the cockpit. A longer paddle and concentrating on a smooth paddle stroke seemed to solve the water entering the boat. It took more effort than the boat it replaced to keep it going straight in the water. I am pretty stout due to me being in construction but I felt anyone could do it. My son bought a Vapor 10 base model this spring and has used it many times. It was easy to just throw in the back of the truck and required very little room for storage. Submitted by: WEIGHT CAPACITY My wife and I both bought the Old Town Vapor 10 kayaks a couple of years ago from Academy Sports. The Old Town Vapor 10 Stern Hatch Kit converts the stern day well on the Old Town Vapor Kayak to a covered hatch area. $399.99 Submitted by: My first attempt at exiting was quite comical. PROS: Excellent quality, and support from Old Town on a couple of minor updates has been excellent. They track well and the kids have no problem zipping across the lake in them. So i purchased a couple of flush mount rod holders and the lid for the rear storage compartment. Anyways, that's my review for now...going to take it to the lake this weekend and see how she performs. Price for the Vapor is great; can't believe you get this much boat for so little money! The Vapor is lighter and easier to transport. The only complaint that I have is that after a few hours the seat can get uncomfortable but all the pros of the kayak cancel this out and a seat pad can be easily installed to fix this problem. I have taken out the front Styrofoam support/ballast to free up cargo space on extended camping trips. The cockpit is very spacious. The 2 molded cup holders are a nice addition, but due to the length of the cockpit it's a stretch to reach the holder up front. 4.6 out of 5 stars 81. Of all the kayaks I have, the vapor 10 is there most unstable. After much online research I finally decided to buy an Old Town Vapor 10. Well I said ok better than nothing. If you sit there and arm paddle, the seat base gets pretty hard after half hour or so. A minor disadvantage is that it doesn't have a water tight compartment. I have rented larger boats, mostly sit on tops. It also has taller sides which help prevent waves from coming in. Submitted by: Submitted by: It also accommodates my tall husband better than the other two. Awesome rec kayak. The only complaint I have is the location of the drain plug which I would prefer to be at the stern since I whacked my elbow on it once or twice while paddling(probably leaning back to far - so I adjusted the seat and no problem).
