Razor Kayaks R2 Ultra

Ideal for our needs – For many years we made great use of our sit in kayak, a Dagger Drifter II, and loved it. With age we were finding it difficult to load onto our roof racks and investigated inflatable kayaks that would be easier to transport. The Razor R2 Ultra received good reviews and is lighter than others we considered. We also were keen to add the electric motor. Razor was prompt in answering our questions and although not cheap, the price looked reasonable. When the packages arrived we found the kayak easy to inflate with the hand pump. Unfortunately one of the seats had a manufacturing fault and was quickly replaced by Razor. I tried to fit the electric motor but its base was too thick for the slot on the kayak. Razor was puzzled as to why, but were ok with me trimming the plastic base to make it fit. We thoroughly enjoyed our first camping and fishing trip with our new purchase. The kayak and the electric motor performed well. Although not as fast as the Dagger, the Ultra R2 moved easily and the craft is very stable. There was one key issue - we needed to reinflate the two side tubes each day. When we returned home we found that there were a number of minor leaks. Once again, Razor was faultless with its customer service and quickly replaced the hull. The Razor seats were ok, but we have upgraded to a firmer, more comfortable seat sold by Freak, the Pro Angler Elite. We have just returned from another week of camping, kayaking and fishing and couldn't be more pleased with the kayak.
