Jackson Fun

About the reviewer I'm 5 foot 8 inches and 180 pounds. Test environment Just on a lake comparing side by side with the Jackson Star. Review The Jackson Fun is the most comfortable boat iv paddled. The outfitting is much better than the old models. Also the boat is very responsive and more stable than the Jackson Star.In the Fun there is a happy foot bag which is awsome, and everything in the boat is adjustabel to fit jast about anyone who can fit in the cockpit, but if you can't i recomend the 4 Fun which i could swim in. Conclusion This boat was very good and comfirtable.Also it came in much more suitable sizes than the Jackson Star which did not fit me at all. Also anybody that tells you that either one if these boats does not go through the water easily has not paddled one, both the Jackson fun and star have no problem being paddled in a straight line.

Jackson All Star

About the reviewer I'm 5 foot 8 inches and 180 pounds. Test environment I just tested the Jackson Star on a lake which i know dosn't say much for performance but im reviewing the over all comfort of the boat. Review The boat looks really nice until you try to get into it. First off the height of the boat is just not enough, i only wear a size 9 shoe and bear foot my feet were jammed tight in the front of the boat between the top and bottom. Also my thighs were squished between the hip pads and the bottom of the boat, with my legs being held uncomfortably sideways. I also tried out the superstar but that boat was just too loose on me. Conclusion Jackson just doesn't make a boat in the star series that fits me. The funseries is a different story though the regular jackson fun fits me perfect its not too tight but still tight enough to hold you in place while throwing the boat around.
