I own the perception crank, love this boat, can fish, just cruise, easy to slide in and out of my Range Rover, lacks a disengage system if you hit something, very stable, instant reverse was a big deal for me. I have created a self loading cart as well as rod holders and umbrella holder for the yak.
My lengthy study/ analyzing brought me down to my two 12" favorites. Radar 115 and the Sportsman PDL120. I ended up choosing the Radar115. All because I could get it without the peddle drive and rudder. I want to custom build my own carbon fiber rudder. Do my own routing of the lines. I haven't decided on a drive yet. Drives seem to be extremely over priced. Maybe a referb or used might just do fine. Might also fabricate my own design with larger prop choices. Many peddle drives add very little resistance in peddling. Might even in time go with e-power. Who knows!
My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!
I have had my Hobie for 12 years, a friend has a mirage (1994), still going strong. New kayaks using old Hobie patent are made with inferior parts. And now parts are becoming hard to find has people try and replace their parts with Hobie parts.Hobie is still king. With reverse and ability to pedal in 6 inches of water!!!
Honestly what made hobie was their drive system. Since they lost their patent for it and everyone has cloned it, there are som yaks out there that are just as good and cheaper than hobie. Still a great company though.
At 90 lbs one would need a trailer to take one to the water. My Hobie Revo 13 weighed 69 lbs and I needed to use a Hullivator to lift it the 7 feet to have it on the top of my truck topper and ended up spending several thousand dollars on a double jetski trailer (very expensive thanks to the Trump tax I paid for the aluminum trailer).
I’ve own my perception pilot since 2018 great kayak, was thinking of upgrading to the perception showdown. Was it not available when you did this video?
I saw the perception eccentrics when I was in Hamburg, Germany. I love to have these kinds of boat systems having stable maneuvers on the water surfaces. Now I am residing in Lahore, Pakistan. Where we have may water lakes and fishing dams in the Northern Provinces, Next we have our governmental plans to build more and more dams and water reservoirs in the southern parts of the country. Our North is full of streams and rivers. Actually, we five major large rivers and numerous streams in the region. We love to have the nature and work for that. This is quite normal while in Europe and the Southern and the Northern USA. I have not visited the Canada yet. But that is the very famous part of the beautiful world and its natural conservation, The new Kayak Systems are just cruise, easy to slide in and out of my Range of Rovers, lacks a disengage system if you hit something, very stable, instant reverse was a big deal for man of us. I have created very good effort from your part of the introductory but an informative Vlog. Thanking you for all that. Having hearing from you more often.

Say what ? this is hardly a "The Definitive Guide" do your research there are a lot more model kayaks out there that are as good if not better that these in the video.
This list is an absolute joke. Wilderness Systems the only decent kayak in the list. And #1?! BKC?! that scam of a company that slaps their name on crappy Alibaba kayaks and sells them to suckers? They don’t even have customer support. Literally, 0 people. They don’t.

Oldtown Sportsman 106 or 120 pdl is hard 2 beat.
Agree its one of the best Motorized Fishing Kayak: amzn.to/3yHiGKP
I ordered the 106 PDL a week ago!

How do you not mention hobie? Far better fishing kayak for offshore than any of these mentioned
exactly this video is obviously an ad for these kayaks and not a "The Definitive Guide"
Because they are extremely expensive. Not everyone has 5000$ for a kayak
@@richierich6667 Video is not called best budget kayak. This is not a guide, it is an ad.
Honestly what made hobie was their drive system. Since they lost their patent for it and everyone has cloned it, there are som yaks out there that are just as good and cheaper than hobie. Still a great company though.
@@fishon7755 yet you included none that utilize that system in your video. Hobie or lightning all day for serious fishing
Are these the best pedal kayaks or the best affiliate paying kayaks?
Best pdl kayak is Old Town ePDL and the sportsman pdl 132 or 120
At 90 lbs one would need a trailer to take one to the water.

Your off with the brands, you only got one of the 5 right

Hobie passport 12 is for me.
Old Town Sportsman Salty PDL 120 Fishing Kayak.

What the heigh on the perception crank kayak
missing the Hobie Mirage 360 drives. The best there is on the market. Therefore these picks are NOT LEGIT.
Was originally going to get a nucanoe with their drive but it was very pricey.
Under $2000 Perception Crank 10 is good option: amzn.to/3oB3FHi
The definitive guide?
Big fish 108
Hobie is the hands down best system
Worst ever pronunciation of PESCADOR I have ever heard
How is this best of 23 but the video was released a year ago? Lol
Just edit the title!
Use an AI voice that can't pronounce some words correctly.
Boom, you've got a video people comment on!!
Say what ? this is hardly a "The Definitive Guide" do your research there are a lot more model kayaks out there that are as good if not better that these in the video.
👍
Skipped Hobie? How is that Legit?
Skipped a lot of good yaks
This list is an absolute joke. Wilderness Systems the only decent kayak in the list. And #1?! BKC?! that scam of a company that slaps their name on crappy Alibaba kayaks and sells them to suckers? They don’t even have customer support. Literally, 0 people. They don’t.
Joke….
Dislike for 2023 in title when this was uploaded in 22..
Perskaydor???.. lol next time you make a video do some research first... It will hurt less
