The pontoon-like structures make stability so much better... these watercraft are amazing! Beats last year's foldable plastic canoe/kayak things...lol That Yakrods tether system is awesome! Hydrate! Can't wait ti see what's next!
The PWR129 is punching the air right now after seeing the XTR and the wilderness. I think the TitanX still has its place with folks who don’t want to rely on just a motor. But if you are comfortable with the fact that you might have to paddle your way home if something goes wrong with the motor those new rigs are looking awesome.
Holy damn that Wilderness kayak is looking good. Was thinking of getting an Autopilot as a second kayak but that looks even more tempting. Wilderness System accessories game is on point, hope they come out with some kind of organizer for their dual bin because that's the big thing I don't like about the Autopilot, the lack of front hatch storage that is easily accessible. When I go out with my Hobie Outback, all my tackle is in the little square bin in 3500 boxes and my soft plastics is under my seat, I almost never have to reach behind my back and I kinda love that.
this is MrBear hudson fl. i have been watching all the icast 2024 and im very disapionted were is the salt water side of things ,nothing against fresh water. i feel as far as kayaks go evry thing in the market is leaning to bass fishing/river/smale water lakes, mostly bass fishing. there is a wide range of salt water peaple that are being left out, i have a ss127 dont no if i would take it of shore , kayaker market loseing money not suporting the salt water side thanks love your chanel.
Most of these kayaks are dual use salt and fresh. Salt had a HUGE presence at icast. But the majority of our audience is freshwater. Plus we live in Michigan, so we have no salt water. Hard to talk on something you have no knowledge of
Thanks for coming by and seeing us at the Yakrods hanging out for a little bit
Absolutely! You guys are crushing it!
@@aaanglers thank you!! hopefully we can see you soon!
Not going to lie the Wilderness kayak at $2,199 is a damn solid option.
You said it!
The offset motor mount 👍. The storage compartments up front 👍. The plug and play capability 👍👍.

It's almost like kayaks are out, & these "crossover" or " hybrid" boats are replacing them. Crazy nice, though! 😮

Great video and great information on the kayaks hope you guys have great time there
Great video guys. Keep it up
I went to Boot Camp in Orlando in July, not even ICAST could get me back there-lol!
the underseat NK battery is incredible to trim the boat better
That’s Greg’s boat guy! I recognized the voice!
The Wizard
Did not see 1 video from you guys yet but you guys get a like and sub already for the channel name 😂😂😂😂
Heck yeah!!!
Haha thanks!
@@aaanglers the video did not disapoint, good job!
Oh buddy... Grab a beer and tune in every Wednesday. Grab two beers when Paul has one because it gets even bettererer!!!

I didn't get who made the foot steering. Can you tell me who it was because I need that!
Which foot steering? There were 2
@@aaanglers the one with the ball bearings
Bonafide… not available yet though
Diggin that Wilderness. Was he saying the usable capacity is 600? So like 750 total like the XTR?
both are performance 600+ I think... Remains to be truly tested
Exactly!
Were there any actual new kayaks (things with paddles not motors)
Not really. I think Vibe had a SUP, but wasn't new.
U10 from Nucanoe
Asking for a friend.... Do you inflate the Newport at home or when you at the bost launch?
Either way!

How did you guys like Bates reel and was that some mirco baits from missile
Bates reel is super nice and solid feeling
Bates was nice, and the micro d bomb looks awesome!
Between the two inflatables which one you think it's a better buy when they come out ?
Hard to say, we'll know more in a few months!
We have to test them to know. Both seem to serve a slightly different purpose
👍👍👍👍👍😀
Old Town needs to take a queue from Wilderness' hull access. The hull access on the auto pilot is atrocious
Tiller*. Tiller steering on the inflatable.
Inflatable in Florida a bit risky don’t you think? Too many gators.
Possibly... you'd be surprised how durable they are.
How many times have your kayak got bitten by a gator ? That's extremely rare. I fear more about these inflatables popping due to glue degradation.
All i can say is "bumper boats"
They didn't show up this year lol... cowards
I was looking for those too! But we did get Star Wars sounds! so those could always come back!
