    Need to move the battery into the dry storage under the seat to move the weight forward. If that doesn't do it move it to the front storage area. It's just a balance problem. It was digging in moving in reverse. If that doesn't fix it, it's a design problem and either don't buy or live with it knowing the short comings of it. If you are using a 50# leader it was a Cuda that cut the line, or a small shark.

    The rear was never an issue for me since I don’t go fast in reverse. I also put Blocks(starboard and sealed edges) on the sides of seat hatch. Water doesn’t get past them. Basically a wall to cutoff the rear section.

    Try this, you need a bungee and a nylon cord. Loop the cord over the bar at back and tie a loose loop around the shaft of the lower motor leg. bring the cord to the front. hook the bungee to the cord so it pulls the cord up to the top by the motor controls when the motor is down. Then pull the cord. The motor will be lifted to the bar. The cord will slide down the shaft . When you release the cord the motor will drop down to running position and the bungee will pull the cord up away from the prop.

    Couldn't find a Solo in Oregon so Couldn't buy one. Good thing, its cold here 42 degrees water temp. My Old Towne keeps me dry and its probably easier to deal with the 45lb thrust motor than the expense and hassle of an outboard motor. Good video.

      the small shaft is 21in something, the other over 24, i have the smallest one, any small fast watercraft gonna be wet for sure, hope you get the nk300 soon, thats what i wanna see on the pa haha, hey do you think the 360 was a failure or not? is it worth the extra $1100?

      I’ve had mackerel cut mono easy like that before. I use braid and a fluorocarbon leader now. If I had something cut my line like that I’d cut the leader and go straight braid they’d have a harder time cutting that I think.

    Yikes this is why everyone loves your channel not only you tell it like it is but you also show it on video too 🙌 you just saved a bunch of people from getting this boat/kayak not a well thought design needs to go back to the drawing board and more R&D imo nobody wants to go swimming with the sharkies out there in deep water 😱🙄😁 p.s. companies should hire you as a consultant or tester before putting stuff in the market 🤔🤞

    • @AliexFolgueira
      @AliexFolgueira  8 місяців тому +2

      it was probably made to run to a spot and get off and start fishing, popular in tx marshes. I think we can make it a fishable boat by adding a bow motor, and some rod stagers on the side, maybe seat on the deck when going fast.

    • @TexasPapa13
      @TexasPapa13 3 місяці тому

      There’s a lot of room for gear and to fish. You can stand on the bow or midship to fish. Loading it with gear was never an issue for me.
