    Sea or big lake? Thanks for the tips and good video - 2:40 until 2:55, weeds, definitely no PROPELLER drive units for me. No time to pry weeds off propeller gap with knife in middle of nowhere. Thanks. All the best.

      This is Tomales bay so the harbored sea. Are you in the market for a pedle drive?

    Hey there! good vid! Do you still use these kayaks? Any long-term info, how did these hold up ?

    • @averageanglers7075
      @averageanglers7075  2 роки тому

      I sold mine to a friend. Besides a track snapping and some normal wear and tear its held up pretty well. My buddy still has his and hasnt used it lately but no issues. They tend to leak a little, but nothing major. Will have a cup or 2 in my kayak on long bay trips crabbing.

    At 3:18 looks like the bow of the kayak looks dented. Is it? And if so, why is like that?

    • @averageanglers7075
      @averageanglers7075  6 років тому

      Yosue Caridad yo, that’s when I found out!!!!! Delivery messed it up. I fixed it with air mattress pump and boiling water. Almost like new!!! I contacted riot and they ensured me they are added a cardboard box around it to cause less damage

      Average Anglers 707 yeah those are the details that wont push me to get a Riot. This is the second video i see with a dent and saw another video with the pedal broken. Even on the video from Riot you can see the pedal drive going under water even though they say it floats. Imagine how will arrive to my country if i ever order. For that price I will probably get the free lure 13.5. Is not pedal drive but i can be sure its a top quality plastic. Its a shame. I really liked the design of this kayak.

    FINALLY! Some footage on choppy water. Looks like it was not taking in much water from the bow. Good vid!

    For the price compare to a hobie. Would you recommend e purchasing one?

    • @averageanglers7075
      @averageanglers7075  6 років тому +1

      Seng Chang I’ve never been on a hobie so I can’t honestly say, but it’s well worth it’s price, handles very well in all kinds of water. Honestly if you don’t mind spending extra money the hobie is the way to go, but if you have a budget and don’t have anything kayak related you might want to get the riot. All the other gear adds up quick

    • @averageanglers7075
      @averageanglers7075  6 років тому

      John Fultz Hobies have been around forever, if you are looking for a pedal drive kayak, hobies Peddal drive is fastest and it’s not propeller so no sea grass or kelp clogging ur pedal drive. Overall hold their value better then other kayaks as well. Quality is the best on market

    • @slacktide_angler

      when youre trying to hold yourself still in a spot in current, sometimes prop drive with instant reverse is better. You can't easily reverse in a Hobie, while in any prop drive like this Riot, you can. If you don't fish, I suppose it doesnt matter.

      My personal opinion I like the Jackson coosa better then mako, slightly lower price then hobie.
      Check out Brooklyn kayak company they have some nice looking stuff to and a fishing sup

    The back ground music , made me want to hurl my guts up, after a minute of it , I had to shut the whole thing down.

    Nice video! Have you noticed any water inside the hull after a day on the water? Some UA-camrs are saying that since there are so many holes drilled in the boat from the factory that it has problem with water making its way into dry storage. Also, any standing water inside the cockpit or are the scupper plugs draining well?

    • @averageanglers7075
      @averageanglers7075  5 років тому +1

      Yes we have both found water inside the hull our best deduction was the hatches were leaking but with how many screws there are in the hull that is more probable. I have some ideas to test these theories and will post if one works

    • @averageanglers7075
      @averageanglers7075  5 років тому +1

      As for the skupper plugs the front and back drain well however the four in the cockpit are very close to the water line and the cockpit is flat so water sits. You have to take out the plug swish the water with your hand and return the plug asap

    🌟. I'm just a paddle kayak owner. Will upgrade to Hobie with a Mirage 180 fin drive soon.

    Have you ever been in other pedal kayaks?
    How loud is the drive?
    How is the turning radius?

    • @averageanglers7075
      @averageanglers7075  6 років тому

      Sarge's Adventures turns pretty good, and it might be one of the loudest due to the plastic gearing, but nothing too loud

    • @phillipjacobson4498
      @phillipjacobson4498 5 років тому

      That's due to the cheap straight cut gears.
      Every machinest knows helical cut gears run quiet.
      The manufacturers try to save money on machining cost for there profit or lower selling point
      It takes extra effort to cut helical gears.
