I bought a new 14' RTM K-Largo Package
It came with a 2 piece adjustable paddle, a cheap seat, an anchor system, adjustable foot pegs, 4 flush mount rod holders, 1 scotty rod holder, and an extra scotty flush mount on the right side for bait chunking.
The anchor system is simple, there is a place for the anchor line to run out of the bow, then the anchor line runs through a "quick-cleat" and into the cockpit. When you are not anchored you pull the anchor up tight to the bow and cleat it.
The boat has two dry storage hatches (I did my best to run water over them and they are actually water tight). One is behind the seat, and the other is behind the front tankwell. The hatch behind the seat has a bungee cord for securing a plano tackle box on top.
Inside of both of the dry hatches are large red bags that can be removed.
There is a large removable dry storage bin on the front instead of a hatch. I prefer this to the traditional hatch because I can remove the bin and not worry about a hatch leaking and filling the boat with water in heavy waves and surf. The tankwell has 2 scupper holes when the bin is removed.
The rear tankwell has a 2 scupper holes and is shaped to easily fit a milk crate.
The cockpit has a 2 scupper holes, 2 scupper stoppers, a cup holder, 1 large square recess that can be used to hold tackle (or bait), a small recess with a bungee cord for securing a small plano tackle box, a recess on the gunwale to set your paddle on, there are recesses on along both sides of the boat complete with bungee cords to secure you paddle, there is a ruler molded into the cockpit for measureing fish, a scotty rod holder, a scotty flush mount on the right gunwale, there is a recess on the left gunwale for another scotty flush mount (or for whatever you wanna put there), and there are adjustable foot rests.
I found that everything in the cockpit worked as it was intended. I needed to fully extend the foot rests to make them comfortable (I'M 6ft 1in tall), the scotty is not a stretch to reach.
The provided seat and paddle may have been cheap, but for me they work like a charm. The paddle propels the kayak with speed and ease that make my canoe feel like the titanic. The boat will turn around with eases, yet it tracks better than I am used too.
The K-Largo is also way more stable than my canoe could have ever hoped to have been. I can stand up, spin-around, jump, dive off of, slide off of, sit side-ways (or backward), and reach all they way to the back of the rear tankwell or front of the front tankwell and never even make the boat even lean to one side.
The K-Largo is a heavy boat (~70lbs) but when you learn how to load it it is not hard. I can load the boat onto my homemade truck rack with ease.
Fishing from the boat is a breeze. I have only had the kayak for 2 days so only freshwater excursions just yet but I have pulled several smal bass from heavy cover already.
I am very happy with my new fishing machine. It seems to be way better than my previous way of doing things, time will tell.
