Second, it is fine for lakes and easy rivers. But it does not handle as well as a hard kayak. If you were planning a long trip or a trip over some rapids or something, it won't do that very well.
But for a day on the lake or a trip down the easy rivers? It works just fine.
tl;dr--they are heavy and not as good as a hard kayak, but they work well for casual kayaking.

Thank you for your response.
I assume you had something like this?

after seeing it some "Best inflatable kayak" lists. We have some hot days coming up here in northern Ohio I was thinking of taking it out on a kayaking pond or maybe even trying the river with it.
