Hey Jonny, nice review, you show the ePDL beautifully and the video length is just right. Knowing that when you are on a power setting of 5 and you are using the pedals the entire time, I assume you are saving battery rather than just using a power setting of 5 on Cruise Control. Knowing you didn't have a way to record your MPH at the time,, do you gain a little speed by assisting with the pedals or is the speed the same whether pedaling on 5 or Cruising on 5?
Nice Review. Kayak Looks Great! Two Thumbs up. Opens up nearly unlimited possibilities once U get this Beast on the water. But $6k List price is going to limit the market considerably. Also @ 148 lbs or so plus fishing equipment & accessories. Hauling this boat around is looking to be a Herculean chore. I'm very curious to read the reviews once this Kayak hits the market and we hear from more Fishermen.
Hello all If anyone has used this old town e assist what are your thought between it and a hobbie with the electric rudder option for adventure kayak? Than you for your time
Eh 6000? I built a haswing 65lb for my slayer max and I can do the same thing and my motor was 299 and battery was 150 hmmmm With pedal assist I get over 5mph easily and without pedal assist I can hit 4.85 and the 50ah battery lasts all day.
I can't wait til you CAN do this as an add on to any Old Town, though I don't expect them to do that until they squeeze $6k out of anyone wanting to buy this first one 😅.
$6k for a kayak is just insane
Ikr I got a sylvan that goes 40 miles an hour that much lol
Yep. You can get a use nice boat for that price.
Body is worth 600 used. You're paying for assist tech
They look awesome! Is the back part of the kayak cut out wider though for more space? I thought that was a thing at ICast, no?

is the housing on that water tight? saltwater tight?
What’s cool is on cruise control the pedals aren’t moving.
Would you prefer this over the sportsman 136 autopilot?
Now. . Can i order just the drive by itself and put it in my old town pdl 120?
That’s lit

I wonder whether you can just buy a new e-assisted drive and mount it to your current Big Water?
nope..

They won't sell it that way because they thing people won't put in a kill switch ..
They need a kayak which does both ePDL + spot lock... yes we consumers want it all. 😇😇
Nice review! What are you using for a kayak cart for this and the OT big water?
Cool...but you're sitting way too far from the pedals.
Go look at one. You can move that seat almost 24"
you sound like a youtuber called devil dog gamer
easy jonny , your in a no wake zone lol ..
