Sun Dolphin Boss 12 SS and Ozark Trail Pro Angler Full Review
I give the Sun Dolphin Boss 12 SS, the same kayak as the Ozark Trail Pro Angler, a full review and on-water test.
What’s in this video
This is my full review of the Sun Dolphin Boss 12 SS, which is identical to the Ozark Trail Pro Angler, so get whichever one you can find. I test comfort, the stand assist strap, stability and momentum, and I take a close look at the seam.
Overall I’m very impressed by the performance and quality. I test a lot of kayaks from all brands and try to stay fair, and for the money I think it’s a phenomenal buy. I’ve seen it at Walmart for around $398 to $498 at the time, but it sells fast and can be very hard to find.
