Stealth 14 Question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

tomahawk · 01-08-2013, 06:44 PM

I have been reading a lot of the posts here and a post a few weeks ago someone was complementing the malibu customer service. Specifically he was talking about reinforcing under the seat with a foam insert. The stealth 14 is my nephews and he is a big guy (6'5"/300lbs). My question is a what point does the seat area need reinforcing? My son is a little fellow and has a stealth 12. I will occasionally fish in either the of the Stealths, I am also a big guy (6'2"/270 lbs). Does the 12 need to be reinforced when I fish in it?
Thanks,
Tom

Does it NEED to be reinforced? I really doubt it. Maybe try calling CS and see what they say.

Just wanted to give some positive feedback for Malibu Kayak and Milo. I contacted MK and they offered to ship the blocks to me for free. I live very close so I just ran over and met Milo and picked them up. In contrast, the release cable for my reclining sofa broke, I contacted the MFG 3 weeks ago and still haven't heard back... Thanks MK.
