- Опубліковано 25 жов 2021
- Alright guys I get asked a lot of questions about the Tempest so I decided to do a quick run down of the kayak!!! I did this on the spot and may have forgot to mentions a few things, like how smooth the drive is and easy to pedal and also on the black pack I did raise it with some little diy feet to clear the dry hatch in the back area there!!! Hopefully this video helps a few of you all out!!! #hoodoo #hoodtemest120p #kayak

This is a wonderful review..I’m thinking of getting into kayak fishing and this review really helps me narrow down my choices!!
Thank you for watching and glad I could help!
Josh thanks for going over your hoodoo I’ve had mine for a few weeks seat adjustment brackets broke so thanks for showing me the fix.
Loved the video
Very welcome...thank you for watching!! They don't slip at all now...
Thank your the honesty. Seems to be the same issues with these. I sold my bonafide. It was huge. I’m trying to decide my next kayak. I still may go with hoodoo
Love my tempest. Video was very helpful. Wasn't sure about getting seat risers given the stability, but based on your experience I'm going to give it a try. Thanks!
Awesome...yeah it feels perfectly normal to me...I don't think I ever felt off balance after adding them....It made it much more comfortable to pedal as well
A great review and pointers
Thank you for making this review! I’m going to order the same color you have!
Thank you for watching!! I recently upgraded to a Hobie PA 14, with the tournament fishing Indo I wanted a little more space and room for all my gear, tackle etc.... The HooDoo isn't a bad kayak for the $$
Nice overview. I've got the same boat in the Marine reef color and absolutely love it. I think it compares favorably to kayaks costing $1000 more and is a lighter than most of its competitors which is important for me since I can load and carry it solo a lot of the time.
Yeah it is definitely a great little kayak for $$
Sweet video brother ! Very informative ! I'm like you - I wanted a Hobie just with kids and life I couldn't swing it . I ended up going with the Feel Free Lure 11.5 I really wish I would've ran across a Tempest though . They look sweet ! I like the functionality of how you got your graph set up too 👍👍
Yeah man!! To me the Hobie is the best Tournament kayak out there...but I love the little HooDoo!! It does exactly what I need it to do.....no complaints my way with it
Nice review! Thanks!
thanks for the upload
Thank you for sharing all your information with us today sir. It was very interesting and helpful. God bless you and your family sir. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊😊😊
Thank you very much!! God Bless brother
Good stuff
I still need to get me one. Maybe next season. Good info brotha! 👍
Thanks big dog.... How you been? I keep seeing those LM pics on Instagram
good walk down and review Josh.
Thanks man appreciate it...how you liking the Hobie?
@@BASSnBEER I like it. Still trying to get it set up and organized the way I want. It’s a different boat for sure. Better on lake than on river I think
I should of held off and waited and got a peddle drive! Nice info! Definitely will be upgrading from the pelican.
😂😂 that didn't take long lol
I also have the same yak. You have to have some scuppers open.. makes a huge difference with stability. you just gotta learn to deal with the water pretty much haha. In the winter time i usually dont stand as much so not an issue.. in the summer its actually kinda nice havin the water cooling my feet all day
Yeah it was a little to much water for my comfort...I had around 2" in there constantly!! I had a yak gadget tray in the bottom that got soaked!!! Was a great little yak for the $$$ I made the upgrade to a PA14
One thing most do not mention (and I a am not sure this is the case everywhere) the yak comes with Peddle fins or propeller, Paddle, seat (and a dern good one at that) in my case, a fish grabber, a Line Cutterz line cutter, and an excellent quality, floating net. Most folks buy the best base car or house and even a yak they can and the other extras (necessities in the case of yaks) paddle and seat. It is also equipped with an anchor trolley which can easily cost 300-400 more! You are almost good to go right off! That pushes the 120P way above the others in my mind... and budget.
Then of course you will have to get bait bucket, crate or whatever, ice chest or fish keeper, and tons of other items that depends on the tastes and budget of the owner. I do not think they could have included such things because some would consider the accessories more or less than what they want.
Great combination imo.
Yeah when I ordered mine I added a few extras...but over all it comes ready to roll!!! One other thing I may not have really talked on is to be sure to tighten all the bolts, for anyone who mY ready this comment!!
Thanks for the info about fins or propeller option.
I love this kayak man! I got my eyes on this one and the Vanhunks Shad, fun drive.. The vanhunks is 1600 shipped and the Hoodoo is a few bucks more shipped.
Could finance like I did with the HooDoo unless that's what your talking about.... I definitely enjoy this lil yak man...especially for the $$
Hey bro I researched for a year, for a 120 PDL, atlest 34inches wide. But I also knew I wanted a drop down toe control rudder system, storage, deck padding, a decent starter paddle. Reading the tempest 5 star reviews, and noticed the 46 lb thrust trolling motor, that's OEM factory fitted. I chose the Blue lagoon hoodoo tempest Hybrid. Because I wanted to leave room for other accessories. Batteries, FF, Storage crate, landing gear etc. I do have the fitted cockpit motor, with my bixpy J2 rudder attached jet motor. I use the bixpy on halph speed, from spot to to spot, or the trolling motor spot to spot, and paddle around my spots. I fush very large lakes, and reservoirs. Love my vessel, and see no reason to upgrade. I did like the Impulse 10.5, because you can add the Torqueedo 1103, but glad I didn't, with all the drive issues. My PDL when I take it with the bixpy, is amazing. Boat arrived without a scratch. CS A+1. Good luck, be safe bro.🤟🎣🙏
Thanks man!! Sounds like you have a killer set up man...I need to add a motor on one of mine...they just voted motors in all of our tournament trails state wide!
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!!
for more stability, try outriggers. You can make your own from some pvc and boat bumpers, or by commercial ones.
Great video. I'm 6'4'', will I fit easily?
Keep it simple….. 7 rods 😂 I keep it simple tooooo
Nice video! I think k.a.s.t is allowing trolling motors next season right? It's it still necessary to have a pedal drive?
Yup and some folks will run without a motor!! Im eventually going to try and put a motorguide on the Bonafide!!
Thanks for the video. I personally have a Hobie, but I’ve been looking at a more affordable yak for my Dad.
Thanks for watching man!! Yeah I'm actually in a Hobie now myself sold this one early last year!!
i'm considering getting this as a 2nd kayak so that my girlfriend or her son can go out with me when I head out on my Slayer Max. The pedal drive looks like it is the exact same. Does it take oil in the side to make it silent? I love my Slayer but I don't want to dish out another 2600 for a part time kayak.
I havent had to mess with greasing or oiling or anything...doesnt look like any fitting you can just add oil or grease to....but I know eventually it will need greased....I believe I have to pull the drive apart to grease it
What size is your trailer? Looks like it fits the Tempest perfectly.
It's 14' I actually have a Hobie PA14 now and it's literally the exact length
Is the Hoodoo a good quality product?
I ask because I was looking to purchase a Feelfree tandem kayak priced at $2900 and the price included one pedal drive.
Then I see that the Hoodoo Tempest 140P is priced at almost $1000 less and on top of that includes a second pedal drive. Usually whenever there is this much of a difference in price something is being sacrificed. What are your thoughts?
I had mine for around 5 or 6 months.... it's a great kayak for the $$ is It as nice or well built as my Hobbies?? No....But I was happy with it while I had it
Wondering if a trolling motor could be mounted into the pedal drive hole
Yup, hoodoo sells one just for it!
Love the video brother. I bought one and just received it on Monday. I also bought the risers you suggested from the guy on FB. How do you install the risers? Also I’m trying to get my Garmin installed but can’t quite figure out what to do just yet. Any suggestions?
There should be a bungee cord that runs through the pole of the seat.....you will slide the riser on and run the Bungee through the seat riser and tie a knot on each end.....and the front risers will attach to the track mount...... I had my Helix ran on the left track mount and a transducer arm mounted next to it and I would put it in the water once I started fishing and raise it up and into the kayak when I was finished
Awesome dude thanks man! What about the GPS/fish finder? How did you set your transducer up? I wanna do it under the haul and curious as to how you you have yours
@@brianbodolay I had it on the transducer arm that lowered down beside the kayak..... You can probably see it in some of the videos how I had it set up
When you upgraded the rudder, was it hoodoos upgrade?
Yeah it was
Excellent video, thanks. I'm looking at the Hoodoo as my first pedal kayak. Can you comment on the weight. Is it heavy/light? Is it hard/easy to carry around? I assume since its a 120 that it is 12ft long. Is it exactly 12ft or is shorter? I would be loading it into the back of my pickup truck. Why do you use a trailer?
Not a very heavy kayak compared to others bone stock!! But I keep mine pretty loaded down with gear and tackle, which adds quite a bit of weight to it and I always left the drive in as well.....I use a trailer just so I can back them into the water and load and unload much easier!!!! I'd say u wouldnt have any issues loading or unloading in pick up with it completely unloaded!!! I actually got rid of the HooDoo and bought a Hobie PA14
@@BASSnBEER Thanks for the reply. Why did you get rid of the Hoodoo? Is the Hobie just a bigger upgrade? Would you still recommend the Hoodoo?
@@Two_Buck just depends on what your using it for! Im big into tournament fishing and needed a lot more room and stability!! If your just looking to get out n do dome fishing with minimal gear..its good for the price...
Can you do a video showing how to use the anchor system on the tempest
Hey buddy, I actually do not use it!! Not sure I will!
Did you ever have issues with water getting into your kayak through your dry locker when fishing rougher water?
100% you gotta go buy the thin window seal stuff and line around the pod that will help a lot...I got another video I believe talking about it
@@BASSnBEER Did you put it under the rim or on the lid? If you know which video it is I'll check it out
@@biologicalhunter520 on the bottom of the black tray, I just put it over the little cheap peace they had on it already......if you go to my videos it's a few or so before this one...
How fast slare your speeds when when your peddling?
I believe I hit 5.5 one time when I still had it!! Tracks well and pretty quick...Not the best turning radius
lol just got the impulse 105 and the stability is great, but I have had numerous other issues with it.
The stability isn't horrible on the tempest, but it definitely isn't great
I'm getting the Impulse 105 in a week so I'm curious what problems I should look out for... Thanks.
@@fishing4happiness610 the kayak has probably the worst drive systems on the market. My main issues had to do with the pedal system. Also I had 5 small holes in the hull. Other than the issues, it’s a nice setup. I can stand and fish as long as I want, and there is plenty of room for gear. Definitely want to look into getting a keel guard and other bottom protection. I feel once they get there pedal systems better, they will be doing well. Good luck brother
@@steele5048... Thanks for the update. I ordered the fin drive, is the problem inherent in both the fin and the prop? Also, what keel guard are you going with? I'll probably go with forming one out of of PVC. I'm glad you find it stable because there are NO reviews and I really hoped to be able to bowfish and sight fish out of it and was skeptical about stability because it was narrower than the competition. I wanted it stable, yet narrow as possible to still be able to paddle it. Thanks again for the information!
@@fishing4happiness610 i believe they already fixed the fin drive issues and have a gen 2 model out so you should be good I would guess. If I’m in an open lake or flat I will loosen the seat, slide in back and you have a decent size platform. When the seat is in the highest position it is very easy to stand up. Most of the time I don’t move the seat though, just stand in the room that’s there. I bought the gator patch keel guard so far but need more for the rest of the bottom I want to protect. The gator patch is really expensive for the size you get. So I’m looking for a cheaper alternative to basically cover the whole bottom
where did you order the seat riser and weed preventer for the blade??
The link is listed in the description of the video!!
I made outriggers for it
Thanks for the video! Did you purchase the upgraded rudder and pedals through hoodoo? Thanks in advance.
The rudder yes, the pedals I got off of amazon
@@BASSnBEER Can you provide a link for the pedals you bought from Amazon?
@@dono0013 if you go a few videos back, video where I say my new PDL kayak I've actually got those pedals in that description a link straight to those pedals
@@dono0013 ua-cam.com/video/bIGQAiJJ7wI/v-deo.html
@@BASSnBEER Found 'em. Thanks! Do you ever pedal barefoot? I would assume they're not meant for that.
Couldn't you remount the two rod holders you removed by mounting them up higher on the box?
I actually ended up doing that!
Any idea how heavy in lbs the pedal drive itself is?
Not sure the exact weight but it cant me no more then 10 lbs or so
Do you have a preference between the tempest 120p & the impulse 120p?
I never used the impulse, the 120p was ok for the $ im in a Hobie now
@@BASSnBEER which model hobie did you go for?
@@iBryaaannnn I bought a used 2019 PA14 and Ive got a 2020 Hobie Outback I won weekend before last ..so got both now...going to use the outback for skinny water
Do you have a video for maintenance of the pedal drive?
I do not!! Ive only got one other video talking about it!! Few videos or so back on my channel
Thank for your reply I enjoyed watching your KAST video when you camped at Hornsby Hollow last October. I live across the cove from the campground. My Hubby and I fish that area all the time, it was strange watching it on UA-cam. I purchased my Hoodoo in December 2021 and Love it! Hope you are having a great spring!!
I've never heard of a kayak fisherman complain about getting wet. 😳
I usually don't get wet!
Hey man how's it going. This was a nice kayak review you did. I'm thinking about upgrading to a pedal drive kayak for springtime. I really like the price that I am hearing about this kayak. I have 6 boys & a granddaughter I'm support. I moved my oldest son & his daughter back into my house when covid hit because my son is job had closed down for a while & I did not want my son & my granddaughter stranded out in the street so my money is a lil bit more tied up now. I never thought about the financing part I like that. I do have 2 question though? I haven't heard about the weight capacity on this kayak I am a big chubby guy at 300lbs. Will it hold me being this big? #2. Do you know how wide the pedals are on this kayak? I have big very very extremely wide feet sz15 6 EEEEEE wide with very chubby fat wide toes that are equally straight across making my foot very very wide at 6 " inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe & with my toes being straight across it makes my foot keeps falling off the Pedals because of them Being so wide. Again great review buddy thank you for sharing.
Hey man thanks for watching another video as always brother!! Honestly man I would look at something else...Im doing the same now...not a bad kayak but the weight capacity is only 350 lbs...im 220 and with my gear im at max limit and its uncomfortable in some wind and rainy conditions!! Hope that helps out some 🤙
Just a thought and comment...I bought mine used from a guy that was about 300lbs. He bought some cheap outriggers for it that worked for him. But he still ended up selling because his work schedule changed and he wasn't going to be able to get out much.
Bruh got the new 2023 hoodoo tempest 120p and it so unstable.. 😒
I sold mine man, got a PA14
Hi can I buy your kayak for 1000
My kayak is already sold!!
@@BASSnBEER oh ok how much did you sell it for if you don’t mind
@@huddyv2219 $1200
@@BASSnBEER ok thank you so much
JUST AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO.
YOU'RE TOO BIG FOR THAT KAYAK!
If you weigh more than 200 lbs
You have to use the kayak without any gear!
Agree!!
