Review of Prijon Prilite Marlin by Steve:
I have been paddling a Prilite Marlin for 11 years and I am still impressed with the craft in many areas.
My previous poly sea kayak was close to 30 kg, so the Marlin at 23kg is a much easier to manage, especially lifting on and off the car.
As the craft is a multi chine hull it effectively has multiple keels to achieve fantastic tracking, I probably use my rudder about 10% of the time I paddle it.
The boat also edges very efficiently, aided by the super comfortable padded thigh braces.
I would also rate it as being a very comfortable craft for extended paddles, having spent many hours in the saddle I can vouch for the seat and thigh pad comfort. I have also used my Marlin for many kayak camping expeditions, it will easily swallow enough gear for a three day camp and still cruise at an impressive pace.
The Prilite hull material is also very durable, I have incurred a few bumps and scrapes, with minor scratching, a good compromise between the toughness of Poly and the lightness and stiffness of glass/carbon.
Overall a great mix of lightness, durability, performance and comfort. The Marlin is the best kayak I have ever paddled.
