I had my AP 120 out the last 4 days and it is an amazing kayak. The open deck, comfortable seat, and large tank well are great; but the Minnkota i-pilot is definitely the highlight of this vessel. Spotlock is awesome! The autopilot and cruise control features save so much time re-rigging enroute to your next spot. If you can get your hands on one, get it!

I hope you can test the kayak (any kayak) with a big boat running and generate big wave, test it with the wave hinting the side, bow and stern of the boat for stability test. Don't test the stability test with a lake with no wind and wave.
@ChadHooverFishing
@ChadHooverFishing 2 жыл бұрын
That’s not a stability test, that’s a conditions handling test and very difficult to “coordinate” to have a boat go by at a certain time and/or just go somewhere to shoot a video and hope a big boat comes by to test in in those conditions. Hope that makes sense. I can probably pull that off in the summer on a lake nearby when the wakeboard boats are out.

Good review. I like a lot about this kayak. I wish it had more front end in-hull storage. Seems like all the storage is on the top of the deck in one sort or other. I take a lot of soft plastic speed bags with me and having in-hill storage would use that space efficiently. Lots of "scRupper" holes are good-including one that looks suspiciously like a "drain plug". (LOL!)

Say...6 to 8 hours of putting from spot to spot with anchoring at each spot...and shore lunch...and a poo break, lol. Also, am I thinking properly?...Lead Acid 100Ah should not be taken less than 50%...that's only 50 usable Ah's in the Li world, right?

Best "Motorized" kayak. Aside from that, it's not comparable to hobie pro angler which is not motorized. Apples to oranges comparison. Adding motor like bixpy to pro angler is way lighter, faster option.

@ChadHooverFishing 2 жыл бұрын
I hear what you are saying but the Hobie PA is not “way lighter” or “faster”. I’m 100% open to counter points, but please try not to make statements that are unfounded and misleading. This was a “review” of this boat and not a comparison. The Hobie Pro Angler rigged with a Bixby would still be 12 to 15 pounds heavier and would not be faster. The motor itself is lighter, but not the overall watercraft rigged with the motor. How do I know? I’ve done it and we actually weighed the boats on industrial scales, not basing it off of the “manufacturers specifications”. I’m doing a full review of the Hobie Pro Angler this fall and I will discuss that attributes of that boat in that series.
