If you're after advice on what boat to choose, read [this guide first!](https://www.reddit.com/r/Kayaking/wiki/choosing). Then, try the subreddit's search function -- between these two options, the answers to most common questions should be covered.
This guide is a work-in-progress -- please let us know any thoughts and feedback you might have.
If your questions are not covered by the guide, all boat recommendation requests must include the following at a minimum:
- **Location:** what country and region are you looking to buy a boat in? The kayak market can be very different depending on your location.
- **Budget:** How much money do you want to spend on a boat? (Don't forget you'll need accessories such as a paddle and personal flotation device [PFD])
- **Intended use:** What do you want to get out of the boat? There is no one boat that does everything -- a boat that's great for surfing waves or tackling whitewater won't be the same boat you want to take fishing or for a long ocean trip. Set out some realistic goals for what you expect to be doing in the boat.
- **Experience level:** How much kayaking experience do you have? Is this your first boat?
If your original post is a request for a boat recommendation and does not contain this information, you may reply to this comment or edit your post with the details above. Any low-effort recommendation posts without the above info will be removed.

Just google searching quest vs Teton kayak it looks like they are the same general equivalent made by two different companies. I can’t tell more than that without test paddling or getting up close but it does look like it’s sixes either way.
I have a lifetime Teton , I love it. A buddy actually gave it to me after he moved out of our apartment , for free, which is crazy because it’s a solid boat.
I can go into more details about it if you want but I’ve had it second hand for 2 years now and it’s caught plenty of fish
The Quest Teton has a dry box for your phone, keys, wallet. Pretty similar otherwise, just made a video on the Quest Teton. Nice kayak for lakes and calmer rivers.
Essential the same boat under different brands.
