Seat is amazing! Cushion is on the back for a reason. I wear an inflatable PFD sometimes and other times I wear an NRS chinook PFD. The chinook has a back flotation piece and since I am short, the cushion helps my lower back since the PFD is on my upper back only. Also, what’s wrong with being more comfortable when I spend 12 hours or more in my seat very often? 😂

Congrats! The dorado has a transducer arm under the front hatch. You can mount the ducer on the bottom of it pretty easily

Thank you!

I’ve fished a day out of the Hobie PA14… that boat made me think kayaks were stupid for some time lol it’s such a bad kayak. I’m looking into options though.

Thank you! Tough call. Very different kayaks and both extremely stable. The 108 is bulkier and bigger.. but the dorado is a much better kayak.. I would suggest you sat in both to see what fits you better. One will definitely fit you better than the other

@@TheBassquatchHunter Thanks bro, sure thing.

I use a 60ah lithium. The connecting ends on the wiring in the battery box can very simply be swapped for the correct post adapters. I got a pair at a local auto store for a few bucks and swapped them out. That is the only adjustment needed for a lithium battery :)

Do you happen to have a video of the upgrade to the battery post. I ordered the Dorado v2 aswell and have read the same thing about swapping out the battery connections. New to the motor kayak/pedal and wanting some info on it. Thanks.

I believe it is the same size as my 60ah. I’d ask that in the feelfree owners group since I know a lot of guys run 100ah

Very different kayaks. I highly suggest checking them out in person. It’s hard for me to choose what’s best for you and your body type/uses/ability..etc. personally I like the dorado for its pre wired electronics, lighting and inside storage. Plus the gravity seat is my favorite seat on the market! But if you try both, you may feel the native is better fit for you… definitely check a local dealer or go on owners groups on fb and see if you can meet up with someone and try them both:)

Not necessarily. I have had quite few people with bad balance standing on these too. And I always teach to plan to swim and test the stability of any kayak when you first get it. You would be surprised how people can stand on these with bad balance. Especially the dorado and larger kayaks
