The SS127 is built around standing and casting on lakes, slow rivers and inshore saltwater. The HiRise seat sits high like a bass boat seat, a sliding Junk Drawer under the seat holds tackle, and the DryPod has a transducer through-hull scupper. A bow hatch and multiple rod and paddle management points round it out.

- Rinse the hull, seat rack and fittings with fresh water after inshore saltwater trips.
KayakDIY take: A high seat and a stable hull make standing up and sitting down much easier over a long day. Read my full Bonafide SS127 review.
