Can you set it up for tandem paddling?

Just purchased the pwr 129 I be there

🔥🔥🔥

Apparently this person wants a new scooter😂

Great video! I’ve had my Flint for 3 years now and it’s been so versatile. I’m bring it out almost every other week during the open water season. I do rivers, ponds, lakes with a trolling motor, take my two dogs swimming, camping, duck hunting, deer hunting, and everything! The versatility is very important to me!

Will the channel change name if you shave?

Yes anchor wizard does hit seat. They make seat risers . Who wants to start ringing on a $1700 kayak witch should been work out before launch. The seat is lo kinda hard to store rods but doable. I'm 52 190 lbs 5ft8. After six hours fishing I have some problem getting up out of seat. Yes bolts come out of seat but that's easily fixed. Positive note handles fantastic. I live two miles near Tennessee river dam so I do a lot of paddling. Buffalo river, Creeks also. Not to heavy also. I bought wheel cart on Amazon for $60 great buy. Pro back I recommend is 13 x16 fits great . Transporting is very easy and all handles are well made. I may have to get seat risers though. I would purchase this kayak again no regrets. Also front nose on kayak does hold bank well. Do not feel like the kayak will tip over at any point stable but I don't stand much and fish. Go catch a big one lol.

I have the Vibe Shear Water 125 with the Hobie 180 drive, I'm 6'2" 260 lbs and a disabled vet and I can stand up on it no problems, I love the whole modular setup on it. It paddles very well, you can add the Bixpy to the rudder or where the peddle drive drops in, it has a dedicated electronics box that you can mount a transducer to the bottom of, as well as quite a few more features. I got it in 2020 when it was $1,200.00 for the kayak and another $600.00 for their version of the Hobie x-drive. Over all a very stable and changeable kayak to fit your needs. I agree with @tomearly111 that the blue sky isn't really a kayak but a small pontoon boat.

Great video thank you! Been considering this for mostly flatwater fly fishing (stand-ability is a huge plus) and occasional slow rivers but also want something that will double as a decent rec paddler. Lack of dry storage and foot rests is a little off-putting. Is there another kayak you’d recommend or is this the premier option?

Good list.. I assume the Slayer Max 12.5 didn’t make the cut because it’s an older Kayak ? Or maybe because all Native Kayaks are more stable than most.. That would make for a boring list.😜

I’m trying to come up with an idea to run two of these under the seat of a crescent LT2 😂

Where du u buy u.m

What are your thoughts on the Kaku Zulu Pedal Drive?

I really like my Perception Hi Life kayak/SUP hybrid. Most versatile paddle boat ever! Two "Swim decks" allow my 100lb shepherd mix to jump on and off without (hardly ever :-) ) capsizing us. The cooler and cup holders get a good amount of use, too. We both love it.

Wondering how it handles decent waves out here at my lakes it can get windy at times. What’s your opinion ?

So, a pontoon is the best kayak?

This is a fair assessment of current state of Hobie. I wanted to fall in love with the PA14 360. I don’t want a motor and battery. And I want to offshore 2-10 miles. I have seen and read of far too many hobie horror stories to buy one new or used. Unless people in great numbers are being paid to say they gave up on their Pa14 360 to go Nucanoe bonafide Jackson or native, where there is smoke there’s a dang mighty fire and what not. I have cold feet now. Sincerely, the runaway kayak buyer.

Interesting video. Can’t agree with your #1 pick as I agree calling that a kayak is a HUGE stretch.

What's the most stable paddle kayak?

Any recommendations on the Kaku Zulu?

Great video brother, thanks for sharing and educating.

wow feel free not even on the list crazy. id take the feel free dorado over the hobie pa for stability anyday crazy. ive never been in the bluesky but ive been in the rest of the brands id def say feel free dorado top 3 for stability. good list though

Nice job, thanks for the information..

I have a kayak that wasn't made for a chair so I had to buy pontoon stabilizers to stop it from flipping. Now I have no issues with stability.

Great video. I have a Hobie PA 14 360, and my wife has a Native Titan X 10.5. We wouldn't have anything else.

Well, Mr. "Pickle"... I can't quite call that Blue Sky a 'Yak..! Yes, it is stable, has lots of deck space, and can be motorized. (I AM glad you included it, though!). After having a Titan for over 6 years, I went with the new "X" model (the one you sold me in Feb.), as I think ya get more "Bang for the Buck", so to speak. The Hobie you mentioned, I can't stand up and fish on! It "flips out from under me", like the Catch 100...! Lol (I like jumping up and playing a big Bass when hooked, like I used to do on my Bass Boat --- I'm "SPOILED", I guess!). Haha! With most of those pedal 'Yaks you listed, you CAN stand and fish on. But I even paddle both of my Titans with a Paddle Board Paddle, to get to spots I might miss if I were seated. Nice "Round-Up" of different makes/models, and their amenities. Thanks for bringing those differences to our attention.

I know the nucanoe u12, has a removal pedal drive option..I believe that should be on your top 10 list.

I would remove number one since it almost impossible to paddle and I would add the unlimited with its pedal drive, which is an option

Great video! I would love to see you do a top 10 video on the non-pedal kayaks! Then maybe a best value top ten!

Hey I just wanted to say thank you for bringing my XI3 up to the Ozark store. Also thanks for looking out on the attachments I will need.

Of all those boats the one that is called a kayak but really is not is the Blue Sky. Pretty much all pontoon boats are very stabile. Calling that a kayak is a stretch.

Are there any videos on torture testing a rotomolded vs thermoformed kayak? What does it take for a thermoformed to fail? I’m not taking my fishing kayak on whitewater rapids crashing into jagged rocks, so does it really matter? Or is the durability concern overblown? Maybe a future video idea.

Anything on the Native Slayer propel 10?

I've owned over 50 kayaks, I'd put the Big Water 132 in the top 5. I'm in the minority on that, but I'm 6'8" 290lbs and I can stand and fish in it. There aren't many I can do that with because my center of gravity is high. We're all different and as Jeff Little says, you don't buy stability, you learn it. Good video 👍

Great List! The old Titan 13.5 would rank high here.

Much needed video Sir 👊😎 TY for sharing. So many folks come in wanting stability AND performance. Kind of surprised the NuCanoe’s didn’t make the list. Maybe due to the drive being an added feature?

Where's nucanoe unlimited

I would replace the Big Rig on list with the Coosa FD

SS 127

Thank you for sharing this video I’m really learning to purchase the Nucanoe unlimited for my first kayak, in really excited to add these type of products to it! I’m also glad someone knows how to do this I’m pretty sure I will be calling someone like yourself to install and rig my kayak for tournament! I’m really excited when I’m ready to get this started! Tight lines sir! Does your company do full rigging for tournament ready?

Hello, I’m new here. Any suggestions on a fishing kayak that’s good for Saltwater Flats fishing and inshore fishing here in Florida?

Just ordered me one. Thank you!

I’m looking for a throw and go kayak for fly fishing rivers. I have an f12 that a freaking love but it can be a bit heavy to drag up and down some banks. What do you think about the flint vs the f10 for my situation. I do stand and cast but I’m lighter and in pretty decent shape.

I fish, spearfish and hunt off a Bote Aero Rackham. It's very durable, easy to use and so far no issues. It's not fast but I usually don't travel too far - most trips are under 2-3 miles. And that's traveled using it in SUP form - excellent core workout. I've been really trying to fall in love with the Hobie PA14. But I'm really scared of that 360 drive and other quality issues. I've been trying to get more into offshore yak fishing, something that would be far beyond the capacity of the Rackham. I agree they've incrementally improved with the XR but I still have serious concerns. Alas enter the NuCanoe Unlimited and Bonafide PWR129. I haven't heard of catastrophic failures on those yaks. I get they are tradeoffs with any yak (wish the unlimited was faster, the PWR had a 360 swivel seat). Which of those measures up to or even exceeds the potential of offshore fishing capacity of the PA14 360?

😂😂😂😂😂

Float your Ketchboard. I found a video somewhere and it works. Get some self sticking window or storm door type foam strip. Turn the board over and stick it in the first grove on both side of the board. It is much slower to sink and has been on my board since they first came out.

Funny this popped up. I just picked up a new flint for $725 out the door! Didn’t need it, but at that price…
