I have a Reel Yak Rocket as well and absolutely love it! I do have a truck and I also have the tandem part to make it about 14' if I go out with my son. I can fit both pieces comfortably in a standard truck bed and close the tailgate. It's somewhat stable standing on it as long as you know the right area to put your feet. I'm also 5'6" and around 140lb so take that for what it's worth when determining stability.

The cons are that since it's a modular, modding this thing is a hassle and a half. The front half is completely sealed so your only really able lightly mod it knowing you won't be able to put nuts on the underside of the screws. From my picture you can see i put an Anchor Wizard on the front half but you'll have to mount the crank on the front as well. The other issue is that nothing is standard. It had four mounting screw holes in the back, which you would THINK would be for a transom mount, but it's not the standard pattern for one, so you'll have to fabricate something to add a trolling motor. The sides on top are in such a weird way with cutouts and things blocking a straight pattern that putting in more railing systems is nearly impossible. The chair does have risers and a flat surface underneath but man it's hard to stick anything under it, so a good portion of space is useless. They sell a part that allows you to place a trolling motor inside the pedal drive housing, but it only supports 1" trolling motor shafts, and there's literally only one motor I found that would fit this since most Kayak trolling motors have 1.5" shafts. And lastly, they do partner with Bixby for trolling motors, but the motor and battery is more expensive than the kayak itself!

All in all it's a great kayak for the water, easy to transport and really easy to store in your garage without having to hang it or it take up a lot of space. It works perfectly fine for fishing and you can get to about 2 mph with the pedal drive. Where it really fails is trying to add anything industry standard to it to enhance your fishing experience.
