Is there a major difference as far as stability between the 106 and 120? I'm looking to get one or the other. The 106 would be much easier for me to transport, but I'm 6'2 about 245 and I also want to be able to stand and fish so I want the most stable option. Thanks
@334tacticaloutdoors Жыл бұрын
Stability wise there’s no difference for your size I would suggest the 120. It has a lot more room and can handle more weight. If you’re not wanting to take a lot of gear the 106 would be just fine.
@jefffrey5794 Жыл бұрын
@@devindpotts I can stand up on either of them easy. The 106 is slightly more stable being a inch wider but the 120 is more spacious. Both are incredibly stable in my opinion but you can feel a slight difference if you have both of them on the water. I’ve had a lot of weight 300+ on each one with no issues. Pick whichever one suits your needs space wise, me and friends have floated with a kid between our legs, in the back or sitting up front on each kayak so they both have room, just how much room do you need? Sit in both of them before you buy them and invest in a nice cart for either one you choose. Hard to say which one I prefer better. I can spin around faster in the 106 but I do like the extra space in the 120.

@334tacticaloutdoors2 ай бұрын
Oh goodness this is a tough one. I will start off by saying the Oldtown is 10’ 6” long and the pescador pro is 12’ long so it’s a little longer. The Oldtown does have a storage hatch where the pescador doesn’t have one. Now when it comes to stability the old town is a tad better in my opinion so I would say it’s gonna come down to the style, look and length that you want. Either kayak will be a great kayak to buy and you want regret it. I hope this helps, but these 2 are hard to choose from.
