i hated the old Microbat 230, that was the first one i had & also one of the very first Microbats to hit the market. It was pretty slow with its backrest as a complete pain! It cannot be adjusted. But then again, thankfully it didn't cost much!

for me it was the Pyranha Acrobat. worst boat ever! It split from the nose at the hull up to the cockpit rim the neck! who would expect such accident! thankfully thoug, i was able to get out before things even get worst!

Never EVER go for a Eurokayak Enigma! its cockpit rim was poor! It's nothing but a plastic squirtboat that's nowhere compared to the performance of a real one. The outfitting was poor too! It never even met my standards.

My father used to have one of these, and i personally think it's great! Loved it. I remember when they first came out in the market in 1991, they said the outfitting was so basic that the price should be kept low.
Talk about my worst boat? I would have to tell it's Prijon kayak. That was a nightmare! It always surfs upside down even when you're still riding on it if you don't roll up in time.

Until now, I still wish to ride the Prijon Alien kayak. I always think it's the boat thats way ahead of the others....
And the worst one i had? That should be the space cadet kayak. It was sooooo slooooow for kayak trips. It doesnt even have real hull rails, and so it cannot carve at all!

I didn't like the prozone kayaks! It was way too long & yet, its footroom is not enough!

ooooh, but personally, i think prozone is fantastic & just perfect for kayaking trips! 
it's a great kayak, as a whole! lovely & can be controlled on end, and it allows seamlessly linked ends & splits. it's also handy & hard enough to weaken! given that it has a problem with its footroom, but that can easily be solved with hot water!

The worst for me is the perception kayak! Not a good boat at all. When i paddled it, it wasn't smooth & rails were really bad as well!! plus the weight range is also so small!

I've also spoken with some paddlers who own a perception kayak and they also have complains about it. that the seats aren't comfortable and that they're prone to scratches and dents.

It is heavy! And difficult to to use for play moves. Worst of all, when i tried to paddle with that kayak, my feet really got messed up. The foot room is not comfortable at all!
