It was a pleasure having you up to Maine. I am always happy to show off our facility. We're all really proud about our heritage and what we do here!
Ryan Lilly loved seeing how you guys are a tight nit community🤙🏽
Awesome place for sure! Glad to see Mark show off the factory! Y’all keep up the good work!
Y’all’s hospitality is second to none. I’m thoroughly impressed that y’all scour social media outlets and engage with consumers that have issues with their Old Town kayaks. And I’m completely blown away that y’all try to duplicate the gripes in order to properly fix any issues that arise. I’m looking forward to seeing what Old Town will do in the future. The Topwater and Predator PDL has really set a high benchmark for the industry.
Ryan Lilly, I just bought a vapor 10 from a friend, what is your warranty on them after they change hands from the original owner
One of my favourite memories from childhood was visiting the Old Town factory and shop in approx. 1987 and my dad buying an Old Town Discovery. If I remember the name of the place correctly, afterwards we went to Moosehead Lake and camped and canoed there for a week.
I'm not an Old Town owner, but have a new found respect for their history, values and products. It's obvious to see where Old Town have placed their priorities ... thanks so much for sharing this video. Companies like Old Town and the paddling community are the reason it's such a wonderful way to spend hard earned time. Cheers ...
I have a Old Town Loon 126. It was nice to see its " Birth Place.
Thank you for the video!!
Excellant. Nice to see where my Topwater 120 PDL was born. Thanks for the tour.
Great video. I love these factory tours, gives us a chance to see where our products come from and what kind of company we're supporting. Love Old Town Canoe!
Wow, what an honor to be invited to a tour of the Old Town Factory ! They have always been a marque manufacturer of quality products made by real craftsmen, especially the old wooden canoes.
And the new roto-molded products they make today are still industry-standards.
This is a great video. I was blessed to be a part of the PDL 120 launch. It's an awesome kayak!
Most definitely is!
Who is leading this business culture? A resounding YES! Getting a Castine 140 tomorrow!
Cool tour, Mark. There's something special about those old canoes from the early 1900's that screams "craftsmanship" 👍. The company still having the names archived of who built each one is interesting also.
Isn’t that amazing! Being able to track your kayak all the way back.
Thanks for the tour Mark that was really awesome and thoughtful of you to bring us all while on your vacation. I really appreciated and enjoyed
Now that was a awesome Video! Great to see how excited and proud Ryan was about the history and quality of the Kayaks they are making there. A nice slice of Americana! Glad I went the Topwater route.
This place has to be BOOMING right now. I've been trying to order one for weeks and I've been told 10-12 week wait time.
Awesome video Mark! That was a great tour. I'm loving my Topwater 120!
Old Town’s boats are legit. Thanks brother!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
That was awesome, Im already looking at a Old Town kayak but you solidified that purchase
They’re building stellar kayaks that perform great on the water.
Just took my Topwater 106 on it's maiden voyage, what a great boat, love the history of the company, thanks for sharing!
This was awesome. Thanks for sharing and thanks Old Town for letting us see a little inside the factory and thanks too for not moving production to China. Happy to still see products like these still made in the USA! My first kayak or canoe will def be a Old Town!
I'm lucky enough to goto Maine every now and then. I have family there. I work in a manufacturing plant. Would love to be able to tour the Old Town plant.
Looking forward to buying a topwater pdl 120 in the near future. Nice of you to give us a look inside oldtown
Absolutely loved this video. Total respect for keeping the family members as prized and respected employees. That in itself makes me want to be a future customer of theirs :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good to know they do direct shipping! Enjoyed the history lesson also.
What an awesome video. Thanks for showing!!
Thanks for the tour man!
Awesome! Love Old Town kayaks! Beautiful facilities!
Thank you for sharing ALL your adventures, knowledge, how to's, catch and cook, and this special tour video. Thank you for your service. I am enjoying and learning so much.
Thank you for the support! Without you I couldn’t do this.
Thanks for posting! Amazing company.
I bought my dad a factory second Royalex Tripper at the original old red factory in 1983. One of the old fellows who was taking a break from building a wood canoe helped me put it on top of my Honda Accord. Drove all the way from Old Town back to New Jersey and surprised my dad with a present. It broke my heart when I heart that the original factory had burned down. Some years later I bought a second one when I started to have children. It’s a shame they don’t make the Tripper any more. I’ve taken multiple two-week long trips in them. Still one of the best excursion canoes of all time. Indestructible.
Sounds like a classic 🛶 🙌
@@MDLRFishing Yes indeed! Old Town products certainly retain value. I live near Seattle, and I know that if I brought my Tripper up to Alaska, I would get multiple offers for more than what I paid for it. The Tripper is the canoe that put Old Town at the top of the industry. I only have the smaller 17 1/2 foot version. The 20 foot version is the Holy Grail. Very few were sold, but I guarantee most of them are still in service. Royalex may be heavy, but it’s nuclear bomb proof!
They do make great canoes and kayaks.
Wow. OLD TOWN is pretty legit awesome tour
Very cool to see the factory and history. Real loved seeing the old canoe.
Made in America. Bought my Big Water 132 last week. Ready for the maiden voyage when the rain stops.
I really enjoyed watching this video. I am from Maine and I wish the people who work at old town kayak keep up the great work. If it isn't made in Maine you don't need it. If it is made in Maine you will have it for life.
Awesome tour thanks brother 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow! What a tour. Thank you.
Thanks for watching 🤙
Made in the USA!
Hey man that was really cool thank you!
That is very cool to have experience a tour like that of a very great company. I have the Ocean Kayak Prowler 13 and Love it.
It was definitely a special treat to experience.
I must say that was an AWESOME treat, thank you Mark and Ryan Lily! To see some of the production facilities of the best canoe & kayak manufacturer out there was fantastic! I have to make a big decision for next season - do I get a new Predator PDL or TW120!!! I have a TW106 and Predator PDL now and just won a Ocean Prowler BG2 Love this Brand!!!
I’m very impressed with the caliber of great platforms Old Town has been putting out. Their willingness to listen to consumers and users alike will help to propel them to the top of the industry.
Awesome video!!! Even more pleased with my decision on buying an old town kayak!
Old town was very helpful in getting me the boat I wanted even in this strange covid climate.
Heck yea bro my 2 favorite things history and fishing all in 1 amazing video
Great video!
Really enjoyed this video. 👍😃🛶
Great video, Thanks
Thank You Very Much , that was Great 👍👍
Awesome video with a top notch company! Thanks for sharing
They certainly are making a strong statement in the industry.
Sweet video. That's amazing that they can make a canoe in 4 minutes.
Definitely crazy fast.
Awesome video
Very cool tour. Seems alot of pride in that facility. Plus great to see Aliex. 2 of my favorite UA-camrs. Keep up the great work!!!
Wow!
It was an experience for me watching this video. Really enjoyed & admire their pride in workmanship that goes with this company.
God Bless the American Dream.
Thanks for the tour. I am buying the 158 discovery soon.
Good choice!
Lucky you, you've got to see those cool stuffs, I wish I can convince the colonel to buy me one, he always tell me " you'll never come home", so I told him to go get one as well. Big NO!1906 Canoe with Indian Head !!!!! Is to die for.Thanks Mark for sharing, 🚣🏻♀️🚣🏻♀️🚣🏻♀️
It was a great experience for sure.
That was awesome
Fantastic experience 👍
Thank you 🙏
I saw you at iCAST. Great filming. Like your channel.
I worked in rotomolding. I imagine the other quicker oven we couldn’t see at 06:30 simply has multiple arms that rotate into oven and can hold multiple molds on each arm. Full mold, go through oven, then through spray cooling, then back to operators for unbolting and kayak hull removal. I used to work on some of the largest ovens in the country. Johnson Outdoors certainly carries the best brands above and below the water....they even have ScubaPro!
It was great meeting you at iCast! I hope to see you next year if you plan on attending.
Awesome 👏
That PDLs color in the photo booth was siiiiiick!
Thanks can’t believe it only has a hundred
Thank you for the video and this is great America operation. Truly American.
I hope I have the chance one day to take a tour there. Ryan seems like he really enjoys his job.
Awesome video. Very Interesting. Thanks
man, what a great video!!!
What a great video!
👍
the video is great the trip to the kayaking place and the explanation about kayaking i like
good morning Indonesian time thank you friend success always for you
What an awesome awesome video though.good job.
That was great. I have a 16ft roylex Camper. They’re ads in Backpacker magazine throwing a boat off of the roof of the factory sold me.
That was very cool to see bro. Great video!
Thanks brotato!
I watch this video for the 4 th times today, it's just awesome place and those cool canoes.
😄
Wow Mark I've thought I've seen all your videos but somehow I missed this 1 awesome footage thanks for sharing.
👍
That was pretty cool
Thanks Rolo!
Great times bro, Maine was awesome
For sure!
Thanks for the tour, MDLR. Maybe when my channel gets bigger, I can convince the war department that I could use a nice pedal kayak!
Yeah I wish they had a paddle version
Bought a top water pdl love it super happy with it
It’s a great stable platform to fish from.
Nice informative video. I have an Ocean Kayak Tetra 12 for recreation and love it. Made in the USA.👍🎣🚣♂️🚣♀️
Ryan, India is an amazing market for you to tap . We need your Kayaks . The ones we have are crap.
codewalters Hi did you try importing any good kayaks to India recently ? Or trying to ?
@@srikesh9 havent tried importing but there was a video here that said that the price can get seven times over if Import. There was one club in Goa that was renting out sea kayaks but they are so rare. But a beautiful country like ours has far little exposure.
Do you know of any particular vendors ? I am trying to get some like minded friends to get involved.
I have boat but a kayak is just so much more practical.
Thanks for my custome made flat bottomed 16' flat back plr 650 great with my mud motor 20 hp. Kohler for the swamps and shallows. Super light, strong , and thick transom
That's was really cool would love to see that Indian decal on a predator
Right! That would be awesome 😎
Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
Son you better step it up 😂😂👊
Made In USA. Love my Vapor10, now I need a Vapor12👍
the last part of the video .. i cry
My sportsman PDL 106 should be here in September!
Awesome 😎
I must have got a 2nd or 3rd shift boat as mine has some pretty basic mistakes made during its build. Returning to dealer next weekend and going back to Hobie.
I have a feeling one of them old town autopilot 136's is being made for my purchase in the near future
Yeah that was pretty awesome to see thier process on how the build and to here the passion and dedication of those employees. #wholenewrespect
Great company!
Been fishing out of my mx for a couple years now and love it, hoping one day to move up to a pdl
👍
Awsome Tour 👍👍. And a shout out too Aliex 👍
Great video mark 🤙🏽
Thanks!
We had a 20ft Old Town cedar over oak that was a fantastic boat on the great lakes. People always hanging around looking at it when she was tied up. She was big for her length...you could of put a Lyman inside her with room to spare.
I love mine .
I'm curious of why Aliex had his badge turned around lol. Wonderful video, Mark!!! Thank you
I'm more curious as to why he kept rudely taking out his phone during the tour as if what was being said was not important. he was 100% not engaged in the conversation at all.
In Englewood Florida I always try shoes on to see if fit is right. Like to water test a PDL 120 in water near me . BestRegards Johnnie
awesome
I am saving my brains out to buy the old town pdl 106..lol..i am a boat builder by trade and the first time I'm going to do if I am able to get one is put 3 costs of McGwires wash on the bottom and sides to keep it from paint fade and getting muddy. I pray for that day to come 🙏.
That’s a great choice!
Love that canoe with the Native American on it.
Looks pretty sick!!!
Achei magnífico topdelinha, qual o valor para que eu possa possui um kayk desse ?
I live in Bangor, the city next to Old Town. I never owned an Old Town lol.
Great insider. Never really had Old Town on my radar, but if I ever decide to replace the Hobie, Old Town will definitely be on the short list. Was that Aliex with you on the tour?
Yes
Sweet video. Love old town...
Question.... What is the best way to store the topwater pdl? Especially long-term.
Unlike other kayaks that have to be stored in impractical positions due to thin plastic. The Topwater PDL is built like a tank. I store mine directly on the deck in the garage. There’s no deformities or issues with it. However I recommend reaching out to Old Town to see what they say about long term storage.
I used live not far away from there 😁
2021 predator in the background there?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
