12/30/2023 0 Comments Sea ghost 130 for sale![]() Turning without the rudder is better than i expected for a 13' boat, as long as you have some speed digging in will turn you. Without the rudder down it tracks straight with very little to no wag while paddling. The kayak is very stable, many people fish standing up from them, I myself have not, my balance isn't the greatest lol. Both areas are riddles with pleasure boats and the lake sees a lot of freighters but the Sea ghost handles the wake surge and waves great, only occasionally do you get any water over the bow and that normally only when they are 3'+. ![]() I normally get out on either a local river that is calm minus heavy pleasure boat traffic where wake is allowed or on Lake Huron. I have had my Sea ghost 130 for a few months now and try get out on it a few times a week. I have had mine for over 2 years now been down countless rivers, lakes, the Atlantic ocean, and the Gulf of Mexico and it has preformed flawlessly. A very small draw back for an affordable upper end boat. The tracking system for the pedals has a lot of movement. The only item on the kayak that I believe could be upgraded are the toe control foot pedals. I can get all the way out on the front of the boat and get items out of the hatch without falling in or over. I am a big guy 6'0" 260 lbs and after acquiring my sea legs the boat is really stable. The storage inside the hull is large enough to store my dry bags when I go kayak camping. The rudder was something I though would be amazing however, I never used it. I absolutely love the center hatch it is a catch all on my kayak for all kinds of fishing lures. I love the features of the kayak the seat is comfy enough to fish all day without getting stiff and hurting. I purchased the Vibe Seaghost 130 for the fact that I wanted a higher end kayak however, my finances were a bit tight. I’ve heard some people upgrade these cables before they hit the water, not in my skill set. We just knotted up the end of the remaining cable and still works fine. Only issue, my rudder cable, to activate (Drop / Pull Up) broke on about the tenth pull. Obviously many more things to talk about, Comfort, Gear Mounting, Cargo, Construction but the topics I covered came to mind first. Those are just a few of the things that standout for me with this purchase. Not all Kayaks have a replaceable Skid plate. Put some wear and tear on the back part of Kayak while accessing the water. Replaceable skid plate, Sea Ghost 130 is pretty heavy, 75 lbs., it’s nice having the skid plate. Nonetheless, rudder noticeably helps my novice skills turn. Installed Rudder Kit, still learning my paddling skill set, probably best to get that down before I use the rudder. Gives me a lot of confidence paddling the Indian River Lagoon in Florida. Some of the things that stand out compared to other Kayaks I researched. ![]()
