I recently got a new to me kayak and I absolutely love it. Its the most stable boat I have ever owned. I was literally standing on it, diving from it, re-entering in 20+ FOW, and riding 5ft swells in the surf with no problem. Only thing that's kinda a bummer is it has practically no storage space. It has a little pummel piece that you strap in between your legs for stability and leverage and it has a dry hatch in it, but that is it. Its a shame cause it is an amazing boat otherwise.
What problems do y'all have with your boats and how have you solved them?

My redfish has no problems whatso ever. its a great 12 foot kayak. My OK trident 15 has the molded in footwells that I dont like very much.

My seat is worthless. No padding. makes it tough after a couple of hours. Everything else about the boat makes up for it though. Plus, I can stand up in it when I get tired of sitting.

my biggest problem is it is too hot to get out in it. It continues to sit in the garage waiting for a break in the heat!

I can't get mine to do a damn thing....stubborn like a mule, he definitely does not like to pull a cart and he's scared to death of the lawn mower.

doesn't seem to hold a keg very well...
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

Not the chick magnet I thought it would be. That is obviously operator error... Doesn't draft like I would like it to, but that could be because of my big butt.

I need to be able to mount a better fish finder like a Humminbird 1198c SI Combo. http://store.humminbird.com/products/409805/1198c_SI_ComboOther than that I am pretty happy with it. Although I am thinking about adding some lights.
