Hey buddy, very informative video: Thank you. If I may offer one small piece of advice, I have been a long time cyclist and since a pedal kayak is essentially cycling you will do your knees, lower back and hips a HUGE favor by moving your seat up an inch or two. You never want to have your legs fully locked out straight on the down stroke when pedaling. Do a UA-cam search for setting up a bicycle, fitting a bicycle to the rider etc. Thank you again for your expertise on pedal kayaks.
I’ve been eyeing these pedal kayaks and they all seem to have longer crank arms than a bicycle. I think the kayak standard is about 200mm vs 175. Seems to me they’d be more comfortable with some shorter crank arms.
@@alexrosentreter7765 possibly so, but the resistance of longer crank arms on a kayak I imagine is lots less than on a bike especially going up hill. Either way, the point made was body position while pedaling irrespective of crank length.
I put a 1x 4 across it and drill 4 holes on the end of it and tie 2 tether balls on each side so i can stand up and do buisess without tumping over . Its stable enough the kids can dive off the end of the board.
Great review with a lot of information. This looks like a good choice for someone not wanted to spend a ton of money on a kayak, (like me) Noticed someone asked if you were affliliated with company or making money off them. Hate seeing people ask stupid things like that. What difference does it make? You gave a good review and found some faults with the kayak. Seems that whatever your association with that company may be is your business. You gave a detailed review that doesn't seem to sugar coat anything. I placed an order for one today based on your review. I couldn't care less if you profit from it. If you do hey that's great but that's your business!! Keep up the good work and I'll be watching more of your videos. Thanks
Love the video. Im overcoming medical limitations and have decided to start kayaking and canoeing for therapy since i can handle more cardio now. I virtually school my 8th grade son and we're ready to fish this fall. I have knee issues but i like the pedal system if im sitting closer to the pedals. But, can a troll motor be added? The lake we go to here in Alabama have troll motors on the rental canoes. Thanks again.
I own 2 of these, they maneuver pretty well, decently stable, handles rough water decently, the wheels on the back makes moving it around nice, and on the 1st of april you will be able to get more video of them on the water, providing these winds go away
I love my Brooklyn kayak 2024 PK11. Pedal drive, well equipped, 35" wide, 10.5', 425 weight capacity. $1375. Check it out. I bought the green camo. I get a lot of compliments.
Academy Sports and Outdoors has a Magellan Outdoors Pro Pedal Drive Kayak for $1,139.00 at the time of this posting. I haven't seen anyone review the kayak yet so I am leery on it, but it looks promising. I'm not a fan of the pedal design though.
You’re dang awesome…love the honestly and not overselling it plus the pointers abt this not being as good in shallow water. Any recommendations for the kayak you like for more shallow water fishing? I’m 275 too! 😂
Why do these Kayaks have the holes right below the pedals? I notice water coming up but you not freaking out so I gather that's normal lol. Good demonstration and review especially for someone new to the sport.
That pedal drive is the same as my hoodoo. Big con with the hoodoo is the steering parts. Mine after a little bit had a lot of wobble to it can that's cause there's just a plastic sleeve to fill the void between the handle and where the wires attact. That's as cheap as anyone could make that. Yet to figure out something to fix that. Very interested on how there's is done to. Over all looking at that amd what you did very interested in checking out more. Just like a bigger than 10'. The other thing is those clips loosen up and need to check them before using it all the time. Lock tight does help.
Great video! You touched on all the points of interest. I myself am a larger man very close to your specs and I never see anybody our size trying to stand up! Super job on this one!! Quick question, being fairly new to the pedal kayak interest, I am curious to understand the difference in the paddle design versus the prop design as far as useable depth goes? You made mention that you prefer a pedal style because you stay in shallower water. Do the paddle style pedal kayaks give that big of an advantage in shallower water? Thanks in advance for any input! Again, great video!
Good review, and I'll have to tell a Friend about it (right now, I have to tow him around with my Titan X / NK300 motor, when we go fishing! He can get his OWN pedal drive, now!). Lol
I finally got my kayak I wanted. It’s the old town 12’ sportsman power drive! I just need to your opinion on what kind of life vest to get. There s so many out there and was just wondering what’s the best kind to get when fishing in a kayak!
Question from a guy who’s never been around a pedal drive yak. If I wanted to purchase a paddle and some paddle holders to mount would I be able to fish shallow water without having the pedal assembly on the kayak? I assume it wouldn’t take on any extra water but really don’t know.
Wow! That’s a hell of a price. In the Kayak bass fishing space we get pushed the same 4 brands pretty much everywhere so it’s kind of hard to find these better deals
The demonstration was great, but where can I get one of these? I have checked Hammerheads site and looked on Amazon and eBay and I cannot find one for sale.
GREAT VIDEO! Lots of information so much appreciated! You didn't mention the draft with the pedal drive. How shallow can we go? I noticed that its not a dry deck so is the area behind the seat dry? Price blew me away!
I feel like it’s just another one of those overseas imported kayaks that somebody on this side of the pond slaps a logo on. These kayaks being on the market does provide easy access to a prop or fin powered kayak at a more affordable price than some of the big name brands though. PS- if your kayak stand one of the ole harbor freight specials? If so, I have two of them and they are great for setting up the kayak to do gear installations and cleaning
I bought one branded under a different name. The one difference was I didn’t get an adjustable seat. I plan to get a hoodoo adjustable seat since it is the same seat.
@@michaelsnively3621 it’s great. Took a little getting used to the size. I changed the pedals to the native bike pedal style. Much better feel and look. I rigged mine up pretty heavy took it out. Then came home a took a few things off 🤦🏻♂️. It tracks well. Handled choppy water pretty easily while I was in chocolate bay by Galveston. Still trying to get comfortable standing up and fishing though.
That is an awesome kayak for it's size man. The speed was really good too for a 10ft kayak too. I like how the seat is on Tracks too. The price is really really awesome too for a pedal drive kayak. Like you said that is the cheapest pedal drive kayak that is out right now. Good video brother. Thanks you for sharing this & i hope you & your family are having a good weekend brother. Be safe out there brother.
I really like your crappie fishing videos that what i normally target and had nice one get off yesterday when I was doing maiden of the baby whale. Also broke a pole had it under the pedal and snapped it. I guess that was a rookie mistake lol
i'd be worried about the hull given how light it is at those dimensions. when you showed us the keel it looked a little flimsy for a modern fishing kayak. that said, for the money, i doubt you'll find a cheaper kayak with all of those features and that level of build quality. you might not get 15+ years out of tha boat, but you'll get 8-10.
Hey Nat i am loking at either that bay whale or the bull shark. I am 6 foot plus around 210 which one you recommend betwwen the baby whale and bull shark brother? Thanks brother
I need the instant reverse for what I am fishing brother. Would you say for standing the baby whale was more stable than the bull shark? Thank you brother
At 9:12 of the video it looks like there's water coming up through those holes. Not that it matters because it's self draining. However, I would sure like to have one of those.
Would you take this kayak offshore? I'm looking at getting a pedal drive kayak to use offshore in the Gulf but I am not sure whether 10' would be stable enough or if I should go with a 12'?
I use a 10'6 on my trips to the Florida gulf coast and cape cod/Martha's vineyard area. Just pay attention to the weather. Che k as often as possible on the water as well because you never know when it's going to pick up
That is similar to my native craft slayer 13 kayak but mine was $1000 more. But the only problem I have with mine is standing up it seems very unstable but I never fell in yet.
The only time I got water in that I noticed was when k stood up. The water came up through the scuppers, you could use to scuppers to keep the water out but I prefer to not use scupper plugs to allow the water to drain out that comes over the side of the kayak
I trust your reviews, butt……. It looked unstable to me, my old town 106 looks much more stable. Plus I wasn’t a fan of all the water coming up thru the holes. But for the price, and if you’re not 200 plus like us, go for it. Get out there and fish!!!!
Awesome! I work for a foundation that is seeking to purchase 1,200 kayaks to use for humanitarian purposes. Our foundation has received funding from a number of very gracious donors and we are ready to place our order now. We are hoping that these kayaks will save countless lives by helping migrants avoid the danger of attempting to enter the United States by land. The desert crossings are perilous and have cost too many lives. We plan to shuttle USA bound migrant visitors to three water routes and lead them to our shores in safety and comfort. You have saved lives by posting this review. May I send you my sincerest regards and please feel free to follow the progress of our organization.
Ningbo Vicking Mould & Plastic Co., Ltd is the company that actually makes these kayaks you can buy dirrectly from them for much cheaper than hammerhead will charge you
Man I get having a kayak and being able to get places other people can’t access without having a boat but I just can’t see paying even $1500 it’s crazy that they r expensive like that I hope im not the only one that feels that way lol
You’re not. Personally I’m looking at pedal drives but could buy a perception outlaw for 929 and as a small trolling motor cheaper than a pedal drive. Also Academy makes the Magellan with pedal drive for 1199
I agree it’s crazy expensive, but I bought a used 08 Hobie mirage in 11 for $1400. And I loved that thing! Hunted, fished halibut, salmon, trout and more. I ended up selling it for $1800 with fishfinder. Bought a new hobie in 15. Honestly my only complaint is i need 4 more for my kids now. 😅
You're too far back from the pedals. Your knees are just about locking out in full extension. Shouldn't be having to extend your toes like that, either. NG. ;-)
The water came up through the scuppers. Pretty common for any 10 foot kayak. It comes with scupper plugs which would 100 percent eliminate any water coming in through scuppers
It’s not. Those are scuppers designed for draining water that comes over the bow. When I stood up water came through the scuppers. All sit on top kayaks have these
How dare you make this video? Look what you've done... Their website says they've sold out... :) Thanks for the review, you've sold me. Can't wait to see if I can get my hands on this one!
the title is deceiving and click biting. There are many pedal kayaks in $1500 range. Most affordable is feelfree FLASH PEDAL KAYAK $1,099.00 list price
It’s not clickbait at all, you just can’t read. Key words being “with these features” the example you used of the feel free, has ZERO storage compartments, practically no storage behind the seat, I haven’t been in it but looking at the hull design, the stability looks a little weak… etc.
Lol....he said affordable. 1500 is not affordable. Yes cheaper than most. But if I'm gonna spend that much on a kayak I'll buy a jon boat and be more stable.
Hey buddy, very informative video: Thank you. If I may offer one small piece of advice, I have been a long time cyclist and since a pedal kayak is essentially cycling you will do your knees, lower back and hips a HUGE favor by moving your seat up an inch or two. You never want to have your legs fully locked out straight on the down stroke when pedaling. Do a UA-cam search for setting up a bicycle, fitting a bicycle to the rider etc. Thank you again for your expertise on pedal kayaks.
Good to know. I never thought about it
I’ve been eyeing these pedal kayaks and they all seem to have longer crank arms than a bicycle. I think the kayak standard is about 200mm vs 175. Seems to me they’d be more comfortable with some shorter crank arms.
@@alexrosentreter7765 possibly so, but the resistance of longer crank arms on a kayak I imagine is lots less than on a bike especially going up hill. Either way, the point made was body position while pedaling irrespective of crank length.
What about the ones with flippers, hope they’re easier on the knees
Nothing like a fishing video at 6:30 AM. Love the kayak!
🙌 🙌
Dude I totally agree! Sunday morning coffee and a southern salt video when I wake up is perfect
Early birds get the worm🤷🏻♂️
Literally that’s me right now
Mornings and anything to do with fishing just go hand in hand
I put a 1x 4 across it and drill 4 holes on the end of it and tie 2 tether balls on each side so i can stand up and do buisess without tumping over . Its stable enough the kids can dive off the end of the board.

@@southernsalt nice review. im getting myself one soon. Eddie is a great guy

I’m the same size as you and that one looks pretty easy to stand up in. I have a bad knee and always wondered if it was to hard to stand up in one!

Cool video, the only question I have is can you pull the prop drive up while you're on the water?
Yes not a problem at all.
I love my Brooklyn kayak 2024 PK11. Pedal drive, well equipped, 35" wide, 10.5', 425 weight capacity. $1375. Check it out. I bought the green camo. I get a lot of compliments.
This dudes videos always hype me up for fishing. I’m on the way do dauphin island with my kayak right now haha
Heck yeah brother, good luck!!
Good recording and clear useful info, i wish i could mount those or any similar wheels onto my kayak
Been shopping for a WHILE for a kayak. Because the seat goes up I have now found the kayak I want to buy. Thanks brother. Enjoy
🙌
Academy Sports and Outdoors has a Magellan Outdoors Pro Pedal Drive Kayak for $1,139.00 at the time of this posting. I haven't seen anyone review the kayak yet so I am leery on it, but it looks promising. I'm not a fan of the pedal design though.
Name?
I paid $1000 for a brand new Brooklyn Kayak PK13 with pedal drive...they have sales all of the time
Did you purchase that directly through bkc?
Hows it holding up now with the season towards the end?
You’re dang awesome…love the honestly and not overselling it plus the pointers abt this not being as good in shallow water. Any recommendations for the kayak you like for more shallow water fishing? I’m 275 too! 😂
The whale shark by the same company has a fin drive option. It’s a pretty solid kayak
Nice review brother. I’ll stick with my PA 14 for personal use. At 6’3” and 61 years old stability is #1 for importance.
Did I read your kayak price right, $5800?
Why do these Kayaks have the holes right below the pedals? I notice water coming up but you not freaking out so I gather that's normal lol. Good demonstration and review especially for someone new to the sport.
As a fairly active big boy, i really appreciate your frank assessment on stability, I'll be looking at one of these for sure!
🙌
That pedal drive is the same as my hoodoo. Big con with the hoodoo is the steering parts.

Right on man! They do make a bigger version called the whale shark. I’ll be taking that one out on the water to do a review while fishing soon.
@southernsalt I'm just not seeing a place or a website to actually buy replacement parts.
trying to decide if i want the pedal kayak or give up on life and go with the electric motor, but your reviews are excellent! thanks man
U can always just add a trolling motor it's way cheaper that way
Great video! You touched on all the points of interest. I myself am a larger man very close to your specs and I never see anybody our size trying to stand up! Super job on this one!!

Good review, and I'll have to tell a Friend about it (right now, I have to tow him around with my Titan X / NK300 motor, when we go fishing! He can get his OWN pedal drive, now!). Lol
Looks like there was a spot near the back with inserts and cutouts for a boondox style landing gear setup.
Good deal!....I would like to see you do a head to head comparison to the Old Town 106 PDL....and maybe a Hobie?
I might can make that work!
Where can I order this kayak at? I went to our local fishing extravaganza and looked at a few kayaks but I really like this one!
Visit their website and give them a call. I’m sure Eddie will have a way to ship it to you
I finally got my kayak I wanted. It’s the old town 12’ sportsman power drive!
I just need to your opinion on what kind of life vest to get. There s so many out there and was just wondering what’s the best kind to get when fishing in a kayak!

Yes. You can operate these kayaks with just a paddle
Sounds good, I'm 5'9", 135 lbs. This thing sounds just my size. Good video, glad you're on my list. 👍😊🎣🇺🇲
🙌 🙌
Wow! That’s a hell of a price. In the Kayak bass fishing space we get pushed the same 4 brands pretty much everywhere so it’s kind of hard to find these better deals
Solid and great channel Sir! MORE!!! 👍👍
Thank you!!
The demonstration was great, but where can I get one of these? I have checked Hammerheads site and looked on Amazon and eBay and I cannot find one for sale.
I just forwarded this over to the owner he should reply to you
Hoodoo has a 12 foot comes with all the same stuff for same price they have a 13.6 foot with fins for 1,399 The 10 foot pedal is 1.199
I’m fairly new to the mobile area, where’s the kayak spots for this time of the year?
GREAT VIDEO! Lots of information so much appreciated! You didn't mention the draft with the pedal drive. How shallow can we go? I noticed that its not a dry deck so is the area behind the seat dry? Price blew me away!
About 1.5 feet with fins down about 5 inches with fins up
I feel like it’s just another one of those overseas imported kayaks that somebody on this side of the pond slaps a logo on. These kayaks being on the market does provide easy access to a prop or fin powered kayak at a more affordable price than some of the big name brands though.
PS- if your kayak stand one of the ole harbor freight specials? If so, I have two of them and they are great for setting up the kayak to do gear installations and cleaning
Cool kayak. Can you replace the PD with a trolling motor in it's place
I think they make one that will fit there
Thank you for your videos. I am new to kayaking. I am from Miami. My question is if I can navigate my kayak everywhere or only in permitted places.
Really depends on your area. I do not have restrictions where I live.
Have you tried the bull shark model? Same price, pedal propeller, almost 12’
I have. Both are great options but different hull designs
Which one would say is more stable for standing the bull shark or baby whale
What size kayak do you use when your fishing rigs
I bought one branded under a different name. The one difference was I didn’t get an adjustable seat. I plan to get a hoodoo adjustable seat since it is the same seat.
How are you liking kayak so far? I just got a hoodoo 10ft pedal drive I'm putting together now.
@@michaelsnively3621 it’s great. Took a little getting used to the size. I changed the pedals to the native bike pedal style. Much better feel and look. I rigged mine up pretty heavy took it out.

@@michaelsnively3621 I was at hoodoos shop not too long ago here in Houston. Great people.
Thanks for the video this looks like Borealis Pedal Drive Kayak
That is an awesome kayak for it's size man. The speed was really good too for a 10ft kayak too. I like how the seat is on Tracks too. The price is really really awesome too for a pedal drive kayak. Like you said that is the cheapest pedal drive kayak that is out right now. Good video brother. Thanks you for sharing this & i hope you & your family are having a good weekend brother. Be safe out there brother.
Thanks brother!! You stay safe as well!!
Thanks for the video it inspired me to get the baby whale just got it today so went out on the closest lake to my house and I love it.
Awesome and good luck out there!!
I really like your crappie fishing videos that what i normally target and had nice one get off yesterday when I was doing maiden of the baby whale. Also broke a pole had it under the pedal and snapped it. I guess that was a rookie mistake lol
Does the fin drive have the kick up feature like the Hobies do?
Whats the shallowest that kayak could go with the pedaling
Those wheels are almost a must have.
🙌
Is it possible to change the steering to the right side?
i'd be worried about the hull given how light it is at those dimensions. when you showed us the keel it looked a little flimsy for a modern fishing kayak. that said, for the money, i doubt you'll find a cheaper kayak with all of those features and that level of build quality. you might not get 15+ years out of tha boat, but you'll get 8-10.
Great video! Looking to buy a kayak for retirement. Thanks for sharing!
🙌 🙌 congrats on the retirement!!
so ...... i am debating this. How good of a workout is this?
It’s not that difficult but you’ll definitely burn some calories lol
Hey Nat i am loking at either that bay whale or the bull shark. I am 6 foot plus around 210 which one you recommend betwwen the baby whale and bull shark brother? Thanks brother
I would go with the bull shark with fin drive.
@southernsalt OK thank you brother you feel like it is more stable for standing
I need the instant reverse for what I am fishing brother. Would you say for standing the baby whale was more stable than the bull shark? Thank you brother
What’s the name and price of this model?
At 9:12 of the video it looks like there's water coming up through those holes. Not that it matters because it's self draining. However, I would sure like to have one of those.
You get better stability with the plugs removed if you’re planning to standing up a lot.
It’s a good looking yak definitely good performance against others at the price point
🙌
Does the rudder fold all the way parallel with the yak? Or just 90°?
Would you be able to switch the pedal drive to the other kind with the flippers on that particular kayak, or is it set with just the one way only?
Just the prop on this one. The bigger model “whale shark” can be swapped to fin drives
Would you take this kayak offshore? I'm looking at getting a pedal drive kayak to use offshore in the Gulf but I am not sure whether 10' would be stable enough or if I should go with a 12'?
I use a 10'6 on my trips to the Florida gulf coast and cape cod/Martha's vineyard area. Just pay attention to the weather. Che k as often as possible on the water as well because you never know when it's going to pick up
👍👍👍👍👍great information video on the kayak.
Thank you!!
That is similar to my native craft slayer 13 kayak but mine was $1000 more. But the only problem I have with mine is standing up it seems very unstable but I never fell in yet.
I’ve heard similar things on native stability. I’ll be reviewing one this week
Got the whale shark and it's impressive
🙌
Some of the hammerhead boats have a fin option. It seems that this one does not?
Yeah, their 10 foot models I believe are all only prop style
That’s an idea for something new for sure !
Seemed like a lot of water inside the kayak.
Is that normal for pedal drives?
The only time I got water in that I noticed was when k stood up. The water came up through the scuppers, you could use to scuppers to keep the water out but I prefer to not use scupper plugs to allow the water to drain out that comes over the side of the kayak
Gotcha 👍🏻
I need to get one of these bad boys one day!
🙌 🙌
You just made my new purchase happen!
🙌
🙌
Good looking boat
Excellent video Brother
Thanks brother!!
Its taking on abit of water?
lol that’s from the scupper holes. You can put the plugs in it to prevent that.
which model is that one?
Baby whale shark
2-4 MPH is perfect speed for trolling 😊
🙌
I trust your reviews, butt……. It looked unstable to me, my old town 106 looks much more stable. Plus I wasn’t a fan of all the water coming up thru the holes. But for the price, and if you’re not 200 plus like us, go for it. Get out there and fish!!!!
Old town has lots of water come through
Need a good one for big guys 350 pounds a heavy duty with max weight capacity 500 or moor pounds
You could look at the whale shark made by the same company. It has a 600 lbs capacity.
What Justin said! The whale shark is a beast
What was the price of this model ?
1499usd
Looks great, but I’m not sure I like that water at your feet.
Nice one!
Thank you!!
Dude! I'm buying it. Thanks for the vid.
🙌 I think you will enjoy the heck out of it!!
Nice video
Thank you!
Awesome! I work for a foundation that is seeking to purchase 1,200 kayaks to use for humanitarian purposes. Our foundation has received funding from a number of very gracious donors and we are ready to place our order now. We are hoping that these kayaks will save countless lives by helping migrants avoid the danger of attempting to enter the United States by land.

Ningbo Vicking Mould & Plastic Co., Ltd is the company that actually makes these kayaks you can buy dirrectly from them for much cheaper than hammerhead will charge you
If I could pedal that fast, I could go trolling with that Kayak.
Is anyone looking to sell their old one? I just want a pedal propelled yak. Any brand will do as long as it’s still in perfect working condition 🤙🏻
Damn, that prop drive sounded like my garbage disposal.
Классный каяк
I think they're sold out.
If they are they will have more very soon
latest production run is almost ready to ship out to customers. Probably be 7-10 days
Man I get having a kayak and being able to get places other people can’t access without having a boat but I just can’t see paying even $1500 it’s crazy that they r expensive like that I hope im not the only one that feels that way lol
You’re not. Personally I’m looking at pedal drives but could buy a perception outlaw for 929 and as a small trolling motor cheaper than a pedal drive. Also Academy makes the Magellan with pedal drive for 1199
I agree it’s crazy expensive, but I bought a used 08 Hobie mirage in 11 for $1400. And I loved that thing! Hunted, fished halibut, salmon, trout and more.
I ended up selling it for $1800 with fishfinder. Bought a new hobie in 15.
Honestly my only complaint is i need 4 more for my kids now. 😅
You're too far back from the pedals. Your knees are just about locking out in full extension. Shouldn't be having to extend your toes like that, either. NG. ;-)
they sold out😓
The deck was wet with just you and nothing else
The water came up through the scuppers. Pretty common for any 10 foot kayak. It comes with scupper plugs which would 100 percent eliminate any water coming in through scuppers
And as he stated... he's 275 pounds.
Feet vids for free?
😂
9:20 Your kayak is taking on water
It’s not. Those are scuppers designed for draining water that comes over the bow. When I stood up water came through the scuppers. All sit on top kayaks have these
this is literally the Hoodoo Impulse.. they must be coming from the same chinese factory!
It's also the mission-32 Marius so yea I think that's a safe bet
@@couchondachief5442 where’s mission-32 out of? Haven’t heard of them til now.
@@couchondachief5442 you two must not do well at those "whats different" picture puzzles cause the impulse and this boat dont look anything alike.
How dare you make this video? Look what you've done... Their website says they've sold out... :)
Thanks for the review, you've sold me. Can't wait to see if I can get my hands on this one!
dam that is a wet kayak
cheap kayak. water in
This is NOT the most affordable pedal drive...
You lost me at 1499.
That’s actually pretty box standard price for pedal drive kayaks nowadays
the title is deceiving and click biting.
There are many pedal kayaks in $1500 range.
Most affordable is feelfree FLASH PEDAL KAYAK $1,099.00 list price
It’s not clickbait at all, you just can’t read. Key words being “with these features” the example you used of the feel free, has ZERO storage compartments, practically no storage behind the seat, I haven’t been in it but looking at the hull design, the stability looks a little weak… etc.
What do you recommend with somebody with no legs? Damn diabetes 😡
their website is a piece of crap!
It’s a knockoff of oldtown sportsman
Not even close lol like zero similarities
Lol....he said affordable. 1500 is not affordable. Yes cheaper than most. But if I'm gonna spend that much on a kayak I'll buy a jon boat and be more stable.
That thing looks miserable to fish out of. Isn’t the whole point of kayak fishing to run and gun? I ain’t dragging that beast around.
What?
Eh?
Ricodog, maybe try thinking before you hit the “Enter” button.
Now, let’s go jump on he Sea Doo and make a real video. Lmao
As soon as this wind chills out 😂
