Hello! I’m looking to purchase my first kayak. I’m really interested in the vibe yellowfin. I mostly kayak on small lakes or slow current creeks/rivers. I prefer a shorter kayak so that I’m able to transport it. Has anyone had experience with vibe? I’m just looking for something easy to transport and for recreational use.
Also I’m 5’6 and 230lbs.

We have owned both and I think Vibe is hard to beat for the money. Can't say I noticed much difference in tracking. Problem with the Skipjack is the seat. Couldn't stand more than 2 or 3 hours and we ordered the deluxe seats. Yellowfin seat is much more comfortable and with your weight the extra capacity of the Yellowfin would be handy. For your use you might consider a Sea Eagle inflatable. I have the 285 fishing pontoon and like it. Seems to be well made and no transport problem.
