Great review! My transducer is attached to one of the scupper holes under the seat, but it's 106 PDL

Hey bro. I wanted that kayak very much, after a year of research.Think it's the best fresh/Saltwater vessel out there. I also wanted a 120 PDL that could be motorized, correctly, and not a DIY a motor. Also left my budget, for all the accessories we add. I purchased my HOODOO SPORTS 120 HYBIRD EDITION. I'm 5ft 7-1/2" 151 lbs. My kayak takes a 46lb thrust T.M., which I purchased instead of the Pdl drive. The motor is Fitted for my kayak where the PDL would sit. This kayak came factory with, decent paddle, anchor trolleys, good size hull dry storage, and toe controlled, drop down rudder. I also have my J2 bixpy, which will go on my rudder, this winter. I installed my Garmin striker FF, and the transducer, I made a clay well mold. When it hardens, you put the transducer in your front storage, with about a 1/4 inch of water in the mold. I've fished some lakes and reservoirs 350 ft depth, and haven't had any problems with fish, logs, trees and GPS reads correctly. I run that just on a Cabela's 12v battery, which also powers my voltmeter/USB/cig plug. And 2 Anp outdoors batteries for my trolling motor. Be safe, beautiful vessel setup..🎣🤟🙏

Hey Chris beautiful vessel. I have a Feel free moken 10 lite. I have my 2.5 Suzuki outboard side mounted to a feel free fitted transom. I have a single outrigger I designed. I just put in my fish finder, because she's away for the winter. All my launches, are sandy, rocky, etc. I ended up going with the transducer arm. I love it, if you have the room. This is my 1st kayak, after slot of research it's the one i wanted. Though i haven't used the transducer arm yet, alot of anglers seem to enjoy them. These boats become more of an investment, after you purchase it new. $800 has now become about $4,000.00. Lol..Be safe my friend..

@ChrisMitchellFishing 3 жыл бұрын

I've thought about the arm but I feel like it might get in my way. However I do have one laying around so I may try it out anyways and see how I like it. Thanks for your suggestion! Sounds like you have a sweet setup too!

It does pretty well in light vegetation. It can chop it up when you put it on high for a quick burst. I’m using just a Walmart group 27 Deeb cell battery and it lasts all day only if I don’t put it on 10 everywhere I go. I mainly only go as high as 7 and I’m good for an 8 hour day.

Also, thanks for the trailer video, going to have to do something similar as well.

Hey Chris, Thanks for the videos - very helpful. I am researching the Old Town AutoPilot 120 or 106. What are the differences from your view? Also, it appears these kyaks have a fair amount of water getting inside compared to other kyaks. Has that been your experience and would you please comment on that. Thanks

@ChrisMitchellFishing 2 жыл бұрын

The 120 you’ll have spot lock where the 106 won’t have that option. I would go with the 120 over the 106 just for that reason. Yes water would get in pretty easily but if you get the one way scupper plugs that old town sells, it eliminates that problem pretty well.

Hi Chris, Thanks for all the great vids. Do you like the Old Town better that the Bonafide? I was going to install a motor on a Bonafide. Are you seeing any advantages with your Old Town? Was clearing the grass the biggest issue?

@ChrisMitchellFishing 4 жыл бұрын

Hey, happy that you enjoy them! I love the Old Town. It definitely has more advantages than the bonafide in my opinion. clearing the grass is a huge one. With the motor being right at your feet, it makes life so much easier. Also the kayak is balanced evenly so the nose doesn't dive forward like the bonafide did. only thing lacking on the oldtown is dry storage space but I'll gladly trade that for the motor where its at any day. I just use the dry bag in the back and its all good!

How you like the kayak so far? Now that is almost a year.. I'm planning on getting one. Can't decide if I should wait for the 2.generattion, so they can fix all the problems like transducer exposed, low speed, spotlock drift, cup holders no drain, no dry storage, after a year, motor slowing down because of the motor brushes worn down... Any other stuff you have noticed? Thanks 👍

I actually sold it not too long ago. I agree with cup holders not having drainage, no dry storage and the exposed transducer. Haven’t noticed the motor brushes being worn down or speed. I would definitely wait till the new model comes out though. They have no choice but to listen on what the anglers have to say about it. It’s all over the fb groups. They definitely take reviews to heart. So no doubt that they will fix those things.

Two main reasons is space and if the battery dies I need to paddle back to the ramp. I’ve experienced times where I’m far from the ramp and there’s a head wind and paddling back is rough. Going with a hobie pa14 with a motor guide xi3. That way if the battery dies I have peddles to get back and it’s much easier than paddling. Hope that makes sense.

I can live with those cons or find a solution to remedy them. The only two things I don't like about my perception pescador 120 kayak is that you Absolutely cannot stand in it, and the seat sits to low in the high position. It's an excellent beginners kayak but I'm not a newbie and I am ready for something that is ideal for someone who is at an intermediate level of skill. So yeah I had my eye on the old town autopilot kayak for a minute now and I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on it. I know it doesn't come with a battery which I will pick up a lithium battery. And I was curious to know if you have to have it registered since it has a motor?

@ChrisMitchellFishing 2 жыл бұрын

I think you’ll be happy with the autopilot! Depending on the state you live in determines if you need to register it or not. More than likely you will need to register it. Here in Florida it was around $30-$40 not too bad.

@ChrisMitchellFishing Жыл бұрын

I recommend something that’s not too crazy full of features that can get overwhelming but something that will last you for a while. I like the hobie compass. Solid stable kayak that has just enough to enjoy time out on the water and not hurt the wallet too much. The peddle drive is very versatile, which means it won’t get hung up in grass as easily as other peddle drives. I don’t recommend anything that is solely paddling. You won’t be as efficient fishing in that as a peddle drive gives you more freedom.

I mean I get the weight savings from the smaller lithium batteries but really whats that do for performance of the kayak? Anyways nice setup. Also my with my Topwater 120 I went with the Scotty #141 transducer mount for my Garmin. I just could get myself to put that on the bottom, I drag the kayak over some nasty stuff some times, so far it's great!

I'll eventually get a lithium just cause it will be easier to carry around to charge and stuff. But nothing wrong with the agm. As far as performance on weight, not sure but Ill give my two cents when it comes around to it. I like the transducer arm thing and I might go to that, not 100 % sure yet. I know what you mean by dragging it over nasty stuff!

Why do you need a power pole, if you have a spot lock option? As I understand the spot lock keeps you exactly at the spot. Power pole is pointless in that case.

@ChrisMitchellFishing 3 жыл бұрын

It’s beneficial to have a power pole in the case of the wind going the wrong way you want to fish. Say a piece of structure you want to fish is in front of you and the wind is blowing at your back. When you turn on spot lock, it will want to turn the kayak towards the wind and now that structure is behind you. Power pole makes it easier to fish things in front of you when the wind is at your back.

I hear ya. Does seem a little ridiculous with a motor and trailer. However with kayak bass tournaments being competitive as they are, having a motor is a good advantage to keep up with the field. It’s way easier to haul, launch and recover from the ramp with the trailer cause of the added gear. This kind of setup is mainly for kayak tournaments and for people that are passionate about kayak tournaments. For fun fishing I have a super light kayak with no motor and I just throw it in the bed if my truck.
