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..

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.

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!

I can live with those cons or find a solution to remedy them.

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?

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.

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.
