Thank you for this review. It definitely appears that the Sportsman is more stable than the Salty, and given that I'll be using it for inshore/onshore, that's the most important thing for me. Puzzling that the "Salty" is less stable, given that salt water is more dangerous. Great comparison, thanks again!
I actually appreciated this video. I’m looking at progressing to a pedal drive have a bonafide rs and I think I like that stability the sportsman has. Thank you man
I had the chance to use my buddies salty love it went to go get one all I could get in town was a sportsman 4 days later. I can say the salty has a edge in speed and sharp turning but is very tippy feeling vs my sportsman. The sportsman is a top notch boat and would recommend it over a salty the very small loss of speed and quicker turning doesn't come close to the difference is stability. Both boats cruise effortlessly around 2.5 to 4 mph. Both can turn very sharply both can stop and reverse on a dime.
Here's a recap without even watching the video: The Salty is a nimble fast moving boat, and the Sportsman 120 is a barge that's more stable. There you go.
Thank you for the video! That helps with my decision! Sportsman pdl is what I’ll be going with, stability is my reason. I plan to fish a lot on it. Had an auto pilot 136 sold it because it was too heavy….
Line Cutterz, My local dealer just got 30 Old Towns in stock after being Out of Stock for 7+ months. I went ahead and put a $500 Deposit for 2, Salty's!! Can't wait to pick them up in a week or 2. Total Out the Door $4300 for 2. That includes their $200 fishing Promo kit per Kayak like floating net, their new Diesel line of Rods ($140) Grippers, Line Cutterz, etc... Ready to take the Salty's offshore about 1/2 mile out the Mouth of Brazos where they are catching monster Tarpon in Aug. 2022
Awesome! Super happy you are able to ahold of the salty and get out on the water. The price seems good too my buddy got a discount on the salty from west marine for about $1700. Good luck on your fishing adventures
@@freshsaltyfries5078 you can definitely! West Marine keeps their kayaks on the leaning stands that dent the sides of the kayaks so if they have that they will discount it. The dents are easy to remove with some boiling water
Hey Thanks! Both kayaks are great and would get the job done but I would definitely recommend the Sportsman120 for fishing over the salty for the stability

Hey chris is there away i could get the same discount west marine $1700?

Great job comparing the them.
Ive seen guys putting 3-5 rods into the sportsman under storage area.
excellent video!
Bought a salty. Love love it
Are the pdls the exact same like can you interchange the 2?
No the Sportsman has a deeper storage compartment than the salty does so they would latch in
I see a board on back of seat on Sportsman??
Yes I use that as a seat riser so it’s easier to stand up and fish
Which kayak do you recommend it worth the purchase? Greet review what kayak rides the best

You guys around long beach? Try out your guys old town before buying one 😂
No we farther south in San Diego
That’s what I thought. The unmistakable hotel Del Coronado is in the background. Great video
The salty is actually much faster
Yeah It is
