I only tuned into this channel a couple of months ago, but it's definitely one of my favorites! Super informative and entertaining! Great work on everything! Keep doing you man thanks!
Brother, you've GOT to try out the Twin Troller X-10. I bought my Twin Troller nearly 2 years ago, and I'm still amazed with this little boat. You'll do maneuvers you've never thought possible with ANY boat at any price. Make insanely sharp turns, go completely backwards, MAKE A TURN, EVEN A TIGHT TURN, WHILE GOING BACKWARDS. Weave in and out of flooded standing trees like a slalom course, and spin a 360 degree turn ON AXIS. And do it all WITHOUT peddling OR paddling. It uses two salt-water grade MotorGuide trolling motor heads that are recessed completely UP INSIDE each pontoon, and then completely protected with flat aluminum grates that are flush mounted to the bottom of each pontoon. RUN RIGHT OVER FLOATING LOGS. Run right over & through acres of lily pads, emergent grass such as Kissimmee grass, reeds, and most other rooted weeds. Plow right over & through flooded brush like a boss. The hidden & protected motors perform great. The only thing a Twin Troller can't run through is thick surface matted vegetation/slop. Hold perfect boat position in wind & current. The twin motors produce 72 lbs of total thrust in a boat that only weighs 175 lbs. That's a lot of thrust. Uses a common 12 volt marine battery ( 29 series, or use a stronger 31 series ). I have yet to run out of battery power fishing my Twin Troller. 1 man can load & unload the Twin Troller from a pick up truck, and roll it to & from any bank without a ramp using their custom-made dolly. ( a special cart for the Twin Troller ).......or you can trailer the boat like I do. It floats & operates in only 7 to 8 inches of water, and you CAN'T capsize the Twin Troller if you tried. 1 or 2 anglers can sit or stand. Even the seats & seat towers are the best among all small pontoons boats. The single-piece seamless hull is practically indestructible and various owners modify their Twin Troller in many different ways to suit their needs. The transom is also incredibly strong for an optional outboard, to go farther faster. I trailer my Twin Troller & use a 3.5hp Tohatsu 4-stroke outboard. I leave the outboard on, even while trailering over rough dirt roads, and the transom is just fine. The Twin Troller is unique & patented, and 100% made in USA. Because they are sold ONLY factory direct, you can actually buy the base model that comes with both awesome seats & twin motors & control peddles for LESS than a Hobie Pro Angler. I actually carry 8 baitcaster/rod combo's, 4 in each side tray, yet I can still stand on either side tray, and the soles of my shoes don't even touch my rods. That's how deep the side trays are. NO ROD STRAPS NEEDED. I just invented a killer raised casting platform for my Twin Troller, that simply fits right onto the boat without any fasteners or drilling any holes. AMAZING. A fellow TT owner who makes videos will be featuring me & my new casting platform on my TT on his youtube channel soon. The platform turns the Twin Troller into "a mini bass boat with raised casting deck". The Twin Troller is a serious, high quality FISHING MACHINE. TRUST ME. The only reason the Twin Troller hasn't caught on yet, is because they are a tiny company, and have NO retailers to help advertise their boat. See all of the videos about the Twin Troller......all of that IS VERY REAL. A lot of people think the Twin Troller is "a gimmick"..........I am here to tell you that is 100% FALSE. I wouldn't trade my Twin Troller for anything.
Martin Loofah Kang........Go smoke another blunt, ya little wannabe thug. You don't even fish. The only thing you've ever caught was "a buzz" and "a head rush". Even your youtube channel is set-up like the typical clueless troll.
I love my coosa HD the storage space is amazing. I'm 6'0 250 and can stand and fish fairly easy, I can't stand up and dance around on it. If i had the extra cash at the time I would of gone with the FD but it's on my next buy list. If your mainly going to be on a river the coosa is the way to go!
Lou, looking forward to your final word on these! I'm doing math problems trying to get myself into the Coosa FD. Did you think the hull noise came through the GoPro very much?
Purchasing a kayak is like a car do not buy until you test drive.if you are looking at the coosa fd. Then you should also take a good look in the titan 12 and the hobie pa12 all coming in around the same price. If you want to read a comment of mine early on this video you may see my opinion on the coosa fd
I would just mention in the next video...the Cruise is a recreational boat with a few fishing items on it, very entry level. The Coosa is a pro-designed fishing boat, so of course it will have more features and such...as well as a price tag.
I don't have a pedal drive but I have a Coosa hd signature series kayak and hope to go after some smallies on the river here in a week or so can't wait, I've already been enjoying the bass spawn from Cobra Viper but it's time to go hit a few rivers and have a shore lunch, im excited been waiting along time for this!
Great review in my opinion the cruise is a better surf/ ocean fishing kayak since its width is 33inches it can handle surf/ current better but the cossa is a flats killer.I found the cruise to be just a bit faster avg 4mph with very little effort what was your opinion?
I’ve owned and enjoyed my Coosa fd for the past 4-5 months. Great kayak! Did you have a chance to try out the different prop pitches? I personally prefer the most aggressive pitch. Looking forward to your final thoughts on the FD kayaks!
Was there much of a difference in the tracking and handling the wind between the two? I'm wanting to get a new kayak for big lake fishing and occasional saltwater, which one would you go with?
I'm getting the Big Rig HD for big lake fishing and camping... It has a 550 pound capacity, very stable and holds alot of gear... Good luck on your fishing trips
Alot people that are in the market to buy a new kayak should consider this Jackson kayaks have the advantage of being able to store camping trip item's and food in the hull of the boat where is other brands I won't mention any names only have the ability to fish with pretty much no storage at all or are only designed to tournament fish, where my boat J.C.H.D can go on a week long Devil's river out west or right here in Arkansas do a week long Buffalo River trip with no problem and that's the diversity you get with Jackson verus other brands!
Wt* nuke alarm ?!?!?! Lol. Good review Lou i just got my first kayak old town predator mx and I'm looking at the coosa hd and coosa fd, one of those might be on my to get list
It treated me well. I just get tired of pulling up my drive when I fished the NC Marshes. I won't have that problem in Kansas come this November but I just want something a little bigger.
I hate the Jackson fd. The native drive works much better along with the fact that you can Hear what you’re doing and the fd on Jackson is very noisy and won’t stay straight because of the flex rod design you are continuously making adjustments left to right. The rudder control on the slayer 13/10 and the titan 10.5-12-13.5 you are able to point in to a forward position and actually stay straight along with a comfortable effortless pedal without the noise. Now the benefits with the Jackson fd is the reasoning of if you smack it against something it will push up. But honestly how often on a big lake are you gonna smack a tree or something below you? I personally don’t think it’s worth it. And I don’t own either boat so this is all my personal opinion but I have used both kayaks a ton. I work for a very large retailer and won’t name where but if anyone has questions about ANY kayaks let me know I can help. Thanks for the awesome video!!

Lou, looking forward to your final word on these! I'm doing math problems trying to get myself into the Coosa FD. Did you think the hull noise came through the GoPro very much?
Intersting question...i would say my rode mini picked up the noise some but it didnt come thru the hull
Purchasing a kayak is like a car do not buy until you test drive.if you are looking at the coosa fd.

Can’t wait for mine to come in!
What year coosa is that?
I would just mention in the next video...the Cruise is a recreational boat with a few fishing items on it, very entry level. The Coosa is a pro-designed fishing boat, so of course it will have more features and such...as well as a price tag.
Excellent i will
I don't have a pedal drive but I have a Coosa hd signature series kayak and hope to go after some smallies on the river here in a week or so can't wait, I've already been enjoying the bass spawn from Cobra Viper but it's time to go hit a few rivers and have a shore lunch, im excited been waiting along time for this!
Its what drives us aint it
Thanks for the comparison
Lou, enjoyed meeting you at Smallwood this morning. Hope you had a better day than me.
You too bud....we had pretty a pretty good day
. didnt do so hot in my tourney though wind blew all my spots out bad
Great review in my opinion the cruise is a better surf/ ocean fishing kayak since its width is 33inches it can handle surf/ current better but the cossa is a flats killer.I found the cruise to be just a bit faster avg 4mph with very little effort what was your opinion?
Nice kayaks. I seen one the other day had a trolling motor in the bottom of it. Either way do what you love and get in exercising all in one.
I might do that with an old yak
I’ve owned and enjoyed my Coosa fd for the past 4-5 months. Great kayak!
Did you have a chance to try out the different prop pitches? I personally prefer the most aggressive pitch. Looking forward to your final thoughts on the FD kayaks!
You know i wish i did
Was there much of a difference in the tracking and handling the wind between the two? I'm wanting to get a new kayak for big lake fishing and occasional saltwater, which one would you go with?
Id prolly get the coosa...fits the black pack better has hatches and is more geared towards fishing than recreation
I'm getting the Big Rig HD for big lake fishing and camping... It has a 550 pound capacity, very stable and holds alot of gear... Good luck on your fishing trips
Great review!!
Alot people that are in the market to buy a new kayak should consider this Jackson kayaks have the advantage of being able to store camping trip item's and food in the hull of the boat where is other brands I won't mention any names only have the ability to fish with pretty much no storage at all or are only designed to tournament fish, where my boat J.C.H.D can go on a week long Devil's river out west or right here in Arkansas do a week long Buffalo River trip with no problem and that's the diversity you get with Jackson verus other brands!
Man you are right on point brother
I love my HD, gotta Pecos river trip planned for sept!
Great video. I’m looking to get the Coosa FD, I really would like a pedal kayak
It preformed well...i would definitel y buy it...slighty more stable than the cruise
BeyondTheBounds I saw that when you stood up in them. The Coosa didn’t even move where the cruise had a little wobble to the weighted side.
nice video and thanks for the showing this products!!
You got bud
💯💪👊LET'S GO!!!
Looks solid....nice review
Good review brother
Wt* nuke alarm ?!?!?! Lol. Good review Lou i just got my first kayak old town predator mx and I'm looking at the coosa hd and coosa fd, one of those might be on my to get list
Nice dude!
Yeah I'm going to sell my Manta Ray Propel 12 and get myself a Coosa FD.
How did the manta treat you...i almost got one...but...
It treated me well. I just get tired of pulling up my drive when I fished the NC Marshes. I won't have that problem in Kansas come this November but I just want something a little bigger.
My name is Jackson
The titan series turns completely 180 right out of the package.go try it out
I hate the Jackson fd. The native drive works much better along with the fact that you can Hear what you’re doing and the fd on Jackson is very noisy and won’t stay straight because of the flex rod design you are continuously making adjustments left to right.
