The ultra-stable hull of the FS12T handles almost effortlessly, making it ideal for fishing. To make it perform even better on the water, we packed it full of comfort and performance features.  The FS12T starts with an advanced hull design that utilizes an extended keep with performance rocker and strakes to deliver the maneuverability, tracking, stability, and easy paddling fishermen want to get to their favorite spots quickly. A large open cockpit area includes the ergonomic Adjustable Cushioned Seating System for comfort, five-position foot rests, deep position cup holder, large catch-all tray big enough for a standard-sized tackle box, and other work areas. The FS12T's dual flush mount rod holders make transporting rod and reel combos easy, while the fully adjustable, light tackle rod tender holds your rod with 360º of horizontal adjustment and vertical rod tip adjustment. The large 18'' x 10'' dry storage hatch in the bow provides storage for dry bags and other gear. Dual quick hold bungee paddlekeepers let you set your paddle down for a quick rest or a quick cast. Built-in multipurpose sternwell gives you a convenient storage space large enough for a five gallon bucket, dry bag, or other gear with a built-in bungee to secure your gear. There are multiple drain holes in the sternwell and footwell areas. At the end of the day, the threaded and sealed drain plug allows you to quickly drain excess water, while the four molded-over rubber grip handles make carrying the kayak easier. Made from the highest quality virgin high density linear polyethylene. Length: 12'. Width: 31". Weight: 68 lbs. Made in USA.
Maximum weight capacity: 350 lbs.

Advanced Hull Design:

I had a chance to see for myself and it has (2) in the "create-area" and 2 in the "foot-rest" area, but on the "seat-section" they are missing!

It should be fine... not sure if this will make the seat wet, but that is part of the fun.

When I bought this yak it had some heavy, yellowish foam inside the hull (approximately 2 ft behind the dry storage lid). I assume its there to keep the kayak from warping on the bottom. My question is whether or not that can be taken out of the kayak, to allow for more room underneath and to make the kayak a little lighter and perhaps easier to paddle. Can it be removed? Thanks in advance-

The form helps to support the seat too. Some add foam for better support.

A: 
I would not recommend removing the foam. Without the foam, the kayak would sink like a rock if the wake from a passing powerboat broke over the deck, or if the crew leaned too far to one side and caused the deck edge to go underwater.

I had a hip replaced a few years ago. My surgeon said no more canoing or kayaking. Is the sit-on -top kayak ok to use? Does anybody (with an artificial hip) out there use this type of kayak?

A: 
Personally, I have not had my hips replaced. However, my uncle has and this is his style of Kayak. He gets in and out of the kayak with ease and enjoys the ride in calm water without hurting. Loading and unloading might create a problem. In addition, you should try to test one out by sitting in the boats before you buy. Thanks

I'm looking to get my first Fishing Kayak. I narrowed it down to the Ascend FS12T and the Wilderness Systems Ride 115. Obvious difference is price and stability. Youtube videos show amazing stability for the Ride. Just curious how the Ascend users out there would compare the two. I understand the may be based strickly from video research. Thanks for the help.

Mark.
