@prynceal6762 Ай бұрын

I know this is old but its the best pedal drive for entry level I guess...I have been pushing the Native Titan 13 for 6 years now in saltwater only and no issues and it's certainly the best pedal drive on the market for big guys especially...Stability and space is unmatched! I am currently replacing the lower unit on my friend's Topwater 106 only 2 years of use...I guess the drive isn't sealed? He had sand, water and shells inside ...wish I cud upload the pics I took

@t3hka1 4 жыл бұрын

I have the previous Old Town model, the Topwater, in the 120 size, but not the pedal drive. I've been very curious if I made the wrong decision going with the Topwater 120 versus the Bonafide SS127 that you also have, so putting aside the pedal versus paddle argument, I'd LOVE your opinion on the comparison of stability, features, weight, build quality, and general usability while fishing between the two.

Lsf kayaks come already put together and ready to go. Grab a kayak carrier for hauling , you will appreciate it at the water. Love that paddle , totally useful , great thinking on the companies part. Take care on the water and have fun in whatever kayak or boat you have , but please respect the water , its more dangerous than most people think. Always clean up after you are done , unbelievable how many ignorant people still throw garbage away at the waters edge causing landowners to get peed off and posting private property signs up.

Actually you should get a inflatable pontoon. I like it much better. It’s more stable, carry more gear and you can use a trolling motor. Also you can use fins and stay in place. If your in a kayak it’s hard to stay in place without the kayak moving.
