Pros:
Comfort Level:
The Advanced Elements Convertible is the most comfortable tandem kayak available in the market. It features two seats with padded backrests, which are pretty high, giving you full back support for long hours of paddling. Its center of gravity is close to the water, making it stable and easy to paddle.
Material:
The kayak is made up of heavy-duty material having three layers, which are puncture-resistant. The outer fabric of this kayak is PVC Tarpaulin covered with 1000 denier polyester, and there is also a double layer material on the top, making it a durable ‘yak. The kayak has landing plates added to the bow and stern to protect the hull from rocks and other hard surfaces. It also has an aluminum frame inside, which helps it track better on the water.
Stability:
Advanced Elements Convertible has great stability due to its drop-stitch flooring. We tried to flip it over and couldn’t, even after trying deliberately by jumping over it and doing every possible thing.
Storage:
It has plenty of storage behind the rear to store all your gears and equipment. You can easily store all the important gears to spend a day on the water.
Weight and Weight Capacity:
Advanced Elements Convertible weighs only 56 pounds and has a weight capacity of 550 pounds, which is enough to store all your important gears.
Cons
Require to Dismantle:
You are required to dismantle the whole kayak to dry it. So it is a bit tiring job as you need to require dismantling the complete kayak to dry it.
Paddle and Pump not Included:
The package does not include paddle and pump, so you have to buy them separately to enjoy your paddling. It may add to your cost.
Heavy Weight:
The kayak is a bit heavy compared to other tandem kayaks.
