    Found one of these a few summers ago, used. Loved it so much I bought another identical 126 for a friend, used. I have two Hullavators on my ride, because this IS a heavy rig - catalog says 57lb. This boat is so stable that I don't think I could tip it if I tried. I go on big windy lakes in this no problem, and deep rivers.

      ​@@AliexFolgueira My man, YT does not care about people making content or being active in the community, and sometimes, it honestly seems random for channels not getting "the push." A 300-view video is a banger for me on my channel. My 16,000+ view Garmin review is one of my least favorite videos I have made, and yet it is promoted in the top 5 videos when you search for Garmin's Striker Plus 7SV . Nothing special about it at all. Then I have videos I put days into editing, and I am really proud of. UA-cam then doesn't even show the video when I search for it by title and filter upload options. I got 46 views in two days, almost all from subscribers. Quoting Alfred Montaner - it was a real chit show.
      Unfortunately, the only thing to do is to persevere, modify expectations, or give up. I am honestly surprised this hasn't become your full-time job. I know it's not your channel's focus or likely a goal, but you know so much about kayaks and fishing; ever considered maybe doing charters or even your own kayak shop? You would probably crush it and have the affiliates already to make something special.
      Remember, bud, you just had another video pass 1,000,000. It happens, but it is rare. No matter what UA-cam hamster in a running wheel generates, you have done great things over here, and I think you will continue to do them.

      @AliexFolgueira  2 місяці тому +1

      The long 120 is long, and you sit low, I don't think you will have a issue with the wind as long as you have some kayaking experience. I didn't have a problem with its stability
