Hey bud..Awsome video. I drove myself crazy researching 2 year's while I saved. I have that identical boat. My 1st kayak and I love it. I do fish a 900 acre lake, so I did purchase a 2.5 Suzuki outboard, with a 6ft single outrigger. I only weigh about 150, and do have a heart condition. That's why I wanted my motor, and the hoodoos are becoming amazing. I upgraded the stock pedals to mountain bike pedals. You'd be surprised how much more comfortable and an easy extra mph or two. Good luck. Be safe..
Looks like a nice yak for the money. After owning it for a couple of months, what is your impression? Have you found any major drawbacks or would you buy it again? Seriously considering grabbing one. Thanks
I have not found any major drawbacks. I bought self bailing scupper plugs for it, that has helped out with water coming in. There is better yaks for sure, but again not for the money there is not a better yak in my opinion. I have also added a railblaza safety light to it. I Iwould definitely buy one again.
@@thomasoutdoors8507 thanks a lot I got a new tempest 120P and side rails seems to close to the pedals for the rod holder I like your set up Will install a Garmin striker 4 plus ok the pedals systems Thanks again
You are welcome if you angle the rod holders along the rails you should be fine, that's what I did to them. I also just added a railblaza visibility light to the kayak.
got this brand kayak for my wife’s birthday. It’s pretty nice but I have to say their checkout process asking for a 20% tip to buy something is frankly insulting. I would have went an bought a Brooklyn at the point but their equivalent was out of stock and I was racing the bday deadline. I like the tandem pedal enough that I’m thinking of a 2nd one. But I’ll be shopping another brand. It’s insane to ask for a 400$ tip to purchase something online with 0 human interaction.
Well in calm water it stays pretty dry, if you get in to some bigger swells you get water in it. So what I did was buying scupper plugs from kayakscupperplugs.com that are self draining. And it has worked really good.

I lived in Bayou Vista 27 yrs . Great fishing down toward railroad bridge to the east. Nice kayak
It’s a hit or a miss around that area.

Awesome video. Just ordered one and hardly no videos on it. Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
I just pulled the trigger on that same kayak, can hardly wait for it to arrive . thanks. For the review.
glad you liked the review.
Would you think it would handle good in the ocean
As far as the first generation I think it would it would as long as the weather is good. But I would not go out by my self.
Hey Baw
How long it take to get delivered?
How shallow of water does she run in?
I fish reds and specks in da bayou
I would say about 1foot and a half with the prop down.

@@thomasoutdoors8507 how much have that scupper plugs helped out? And which brand did you end up with?
@@hamsandwhich3378 it has helped a lot, I bought them from kayakscupperplugs.com
How is the seat? Comfortable for long rides?
It is, but it is nice to stand up from time to time.
Where did you get the fish holder for the pedals
And what’s the name of it ?
Thanks
It is a Railblaza rod holder R, I bought it at Academy for 19.99 plus tax.
@@thomasoutdoors8507 thanks a lot
I got a new tempest 120P and side rails seems to close to the pedals for the rod holder I like your set up
Will install a Garmin striker 4 plus ok the pedals systems
Thanks again

I do not know personally I have not tried the impulse.

@@thomasoutdoors8507 okay thank you
I also ordered this and I'm waiting.. how has the pedal drive system held up so far? Awesome video and subbed.
Thank you. So far so good I have to say.
Have you received yours?? How was shipping??
@@MrDoItAll91 yes I did..shipping was excellent..came well protected in a huge box.
How wide it is sir
@@josenarvaez5338 33 inch
heard it's pretty unstable?
I have the first gen and it is stable.
Do you still think this is a good buy?
Yes I do, it has worked out great for me. Of course you can find a better buy, but not for the money. The yak is stable and tracks great.
Good job
Thank you
I like your PFD, does it come in different colors?
Green and tan as far as I know.
Looking at one.. those plugs are not cheap

so i saw another video where his was filling up with water, it was a huge turnoff for me, yours looks pretty damn dry

Can I buy your kayak for a 1000
I don’t know, then I don’t have a yak.
@@thomasoutdoors8507 um if you would I would buy it
Cant understand what this guy is saying half the time, sound drunk?
I’ll let him know that you can’t understand.

Have not needed one yet.
