Coosa FD
I’ve purchased two used “like new” and fully equipped Coosa FDs with double bunk trailer. My first kayak, and after only having a canoe, I’m very satisfied. Have only been out a few times and had a great time. Fishing from a kayak was easer than I was expecting. Overall very happy with my Coosas.

Coosa FD
It would be 5 starts if the seat was better. For the almost 4k price tag the seat needs to be redesigned for more comfort.
I would also recommend that Jackson make the seat usable for the older coosa fd models.
The layout, stability, fish ability, storage of this platform is awesome. The seat sucks, 5 to 6 hrs and ur done. Jackson kayak I sure hope y'all make a new seat soon, or I'll have to switch brands. Can't fish with a back ache. -
Loving it
Greatings from Melbourne AU. I've had the coosa fd (2019) model for a year now and I'm loving it. Originally tracking was a little of but I upgraded the rudder to the rudder on the current version. I'm fishing in open salt water and all the metal parts are holding up well in the saltwater. The kayak is very stable and its easy to stand up in and its easy to move around the kayak and acces the storage areas. The drive and kayak are reasonably fast and responsive and the drive is easy to maintain, install, deploy and to retract. The kayak body itself and the hatches feel very solid and seal well. The steering takes a little getting used to but after a few times on the water it becomes second nature. Overall a great yak!!!

The only bad thing I have to say is,it can use a transducer support for a $3000 kayak.Everything else about it,is pretty good.

Coosa FD 3D
I've always been a paddle guy, loving the Jackson Kraken's and Cuda LT. I have a 2020 Coosa FD 3D and have been out fishing from it three times and LOVE it. The two seat positions are perfect. I have been using the high position. The easy ability to move the seat up and back to get the best position to pedal is super. Under the seat I have made great use of the tackle/tool tray. The large rudder control knobs are great and I love the ability to control the rudder with one hand while fishing and holding the rod with the other. Pedaling is smooth and having the two postions for normal and shallow water is very nice, or stowed for "very" shallow water. I've paddled the Coosa FD and yes, somewhat wide, but it does paddle nicely. Something that came in handy fishing in wind blowing me towards where I was casting is the "backup" ability. WOW! Allowed me to back right out of where I was fishing. Yes, I was little skeptical, but I love this boat!
