Lower center of gravity hull has great stability on the water, and an open cockpit makes getting in and out a breeze.The Jackson Kilroy Fishing Kayak is a terrific watercraft for any outdoors person – don't hesitate if you want this limited edition! Additionally, the Kilroy OG features package includes a long-load road flag for your boat during transport, a YakAttack Omega Rod Holder, a 5-inch Jackson Kayak decal, and the handy JK Stand-Assist Strap. This limited edition is the original Kilroy design brought back with all of its innovative elements and updated with Jackson's EZ Hi-Low Sliding seat. As your feet are actually below the waterline when you stand up, the design creates a very stable standing area for kayak anglers, hunters, wildlife photographers, bird watchers – anyone who enjoys the water. This watercraft provides loads of protected storage space for fishing gear, rod storage tubes along the sidewalls, a removable hard deck, and mounting locations strategically placed throughout the gear track system. If your launch point is a good distance from where you park then I suggest you get some wheels for it.The Jackson Kilroy Fishing Kayak - 2022 is a much loved sit-inside kayak model that incorporates classic sit-on-top kayak features. It is easier getting it into the back of a pick up truck but is just generally cumbersome on land. I have good racks on my car and have to put a blanket on the back of the car to slide it up onto the racks. I went into it knowing it was heavy, about 100 pounds, and it is just difficult to move around on land. My only area of discomfort with this kayak is the weight. But to me, that is a price I am willing to pay for feeling comfortable in my kayak. In any group I have been with on the water I will be tail end Charlie. To pay for the stability you have to give up speed. But, do not expect to win any races with it. It is very maneuverable and has a decent glide after your last stroke. The kayak moves and tracks well on the water. Sort of nice to lean against when taking a picture but am considering taking it out as it sometimes gets in the way. The stand up bar was useful in the beginning before I came to realize how stable the boat is. You can use a strap to help yourself stand up but I have found if you have the seat in the high position you can just stand up. The ability to stand for sight fishing or just to stretch out is amazing. The seat is the most comfortable kayak seat I have ever placed my tail end on.and it stays dry. I usually keep it in high position, unless I need more power for going against current or tide. The seat can be used in two positions, high and low. The advertising claims you can stand up and walk around in it. For an older angler with mobility issues this kayak is as stable as you could wish for. The Jackson Big Rig is the fishing kayak I was looking and hoping for. I know it was probably designed for the heavier kayakers out there but it is a dream for slow rivers and lakes,my dad has one also he has been retired for several years so be is getting up there in age but loves his Big Rig also. I would recommend the rudder attachment and a electric motor to anyone in my condition or older folks, I call it my handicap kayak, but hey I still can get out and enjoy life so that makes this kayak a winner in my book. It paddles like a lighter kayak, has extra space for gear, fishes like a dream, I am glad I chose the big rig and have never regretted it. It's heavy but with my low trailer and kayak dollies I am good with help.

My new Big Rig from Jackson is perfect, I can sit and have free movement and stand when needed, the stand up bar is great now that my balance is off. I had to sell my sit-in-side Pungo 120 due to back issues and not being able to sit low for extended periods. I was almost killed at work - a 3000 lbs steel pipe fell from overhead and I ended up with exposed spinal cord, shattered pelvis ,compound fractured ankle and leg, shattered elliac creast,and other stuff.
