When you sit in the H12, are your legs straight when you put your feet on the foot pegs? I’m 6’2” also and wondered if my legs still had to be bend with the foot pegs and seat as far away as possible.

I did! While it wasn't the most enjoyable trip, it did okay considering but if you have the scupper plugs in you may see some water accumulate. I'm a river/shallow water fan so white caps were a rarity for me.

@@rj_babydoc2534 @RJ Hillman one of my favorite duck hunting areas is about an hour paddle across a fairly shallow big windy lake, 3 foot ot higher rollers are not exactly uncommon. But the marsh itself when you get there is calm as can be when you get there, but also a few inches deep in some places. I have yet to be on the water in anything other then a boat on that lake as I only have access to a canoe and a not so great kayak. Benefitly (if thats a word) I have access to some decent rivers and two famous marshes that gave rise to ducks unlimited. Thanks for the reply, your kayak comes up.alot in my searches, and I've been quite curious about the nasty water.

@@j.wildoutdoors8483 As long as you're wearing a PFD I'd see no issue taking waves that size. It may be super sketchy and not fun at all but you'd make it lol. I personally wouldn't risk it if the wind was high but I have had it in rollers about 3' or so a few times. I got wet, but I was fine

Not a thing wrong with that kayak unless you wanted to go to a peddle rig. Also, I've found no better chair than what Ascend puts on their boats. The little Lowrance 4x is also a tough little unit. It is monochrome, but has worked really well on my main kayak (Pescador Pro 120) for over two years. It is not as fancy as the Garmin 42 DX that is on my saltwater kayak, but it looks sturdier.
