I think my next 'Yak will have to be the 12.5 Titan X though, as I tend to carry way too much "Stuff" on my Titan 10.6 - as it IS...! Lol. I really like that 3 hp Newport on the back of your New 'Yak (kinda wished I'd gone with it, instead of the 1.8 hp motor!).
    Great Video, and look forward to more of your Adventures in the New 'Yak. (You're an inspiration to ALL of us, out here!).

Hummingbird has been nothing shy of great for me. I have the helix 7 with side and down scan on the family boat. Has definitely helped me put some more in! Just don't tip it over. Happy fishing!

I fish the Delta and during certain times a PP is useful. I wish boondox would build a wratchet/motorized type system so we're wheels up without having to pull them out manually.

      Have to get a little creative with this kayak to fit everything I had in the previous one!

    I drove from Massachusetts to Delaware to pick up my 12.5 and the whole ride home I was nervous of that same thing. Luckily nobody tailgated me until I hit Connecticut and I almost got rear ended by some lady in a BMW suv. I had the road rage start to boil but thankfully we made it with no issues lol.
