What brand box is that in the back with 3 rod holders??

Erika Mander - 5 years ago

How sturdy is it?

Brer Rabbit - 5 years ago

Stable huh? Stand up in it.

Brad Johnson - 5 years ago

A kayak guy--I'd say it was a solo canoe.

Der Feind - 5 years ago

..its a Kanu

Robert Papps - 5 years ago

53 lbs is the problem. My 14ft Hornbeck's empty weight is about 27 lbs so it almost puts itself on the car.

Luke Andringa - 5 years ago

225 mm paddles? Dang thats some tiny shit

gimmiepig - 5 years ago

Only 53lbs? What a joke

SanJoe - 6 years ago

Can you let me know who makes the rear storage and pole holder? seems super useful.

I have a Pungo 140, do you see much difference between the two? My main concern is access being a senior and having all the aches and pains that comes with aging. My other concern is buoyancy as the Pungo has two water tight compartments.

sfmarckx - 6 years ago

Check out dreamcatcher boats and other skin on frame canoes and kayaks before you go for all that weight.

Sonny Aycoth - 6 years ago

been paddle'n my old town sarnac 146 and discovery 158 for about 5 years same exact way, bought turkey hunting beach style chairs at Wal Mart. Must say i never looked back to a kayak.

Stephen Gault - 6 years ago

Are they marketing this as a new idea? Pack boats have been around for decades and are less than half this weight.

I bet old town sells a ton of those. Never tried one yet but I currently paddle a wenonah vagabond. Had several transitional kayaks, but have always favored a well balanced canoe with shallow arch hull. vagabond weighs 42lbs.

What Old Town really needs to do with this thing is enclose ,hatch and then add bulkheads to the fore and aft storage areas which would result in it having 100 lbs more cargo capacity than my Pungo 14 which in turn would make it the perfect boat for doing long treks like the Wilderness Waterway in Everglades NP

Robert King - 5 years ago

What Old Town needs to do is leave it the way it is.. I want it completely open. It is already the perfect boat for me.

Jack Obrein - 6 years ago

Nicky L thous mods are easy to do. Just some plywood and marine foam!

Ghostlore - 7 years ago

Just install a wingman outfitter system on it. Plenty more storage space, more stability, and it's portable. Look it up on YouTube.

Ender Bean - 7 years ago

Good video. I wish you guys would compare similar boats to one another. How does this compare to the Native Ultimate 12? This would be a better service to your viewers but maybe its putting at risk your add dollars. If you are not willing to do that, how about doing a pros and cons for each boat? I this boat preform well in on a windy day in a large lake with white caps? Thanks

just got one an use it in the open ocean and rivers or tautog, stripers and fluke. works great with winds, but keep in mind if our drift fishing this 13 footer catches wind and waves a lot easier. tons of room and theres a bag on the back of the seat. i switch out the forward wood beam for a 2x4 so i could mount my fish finder and rod supports. i wish that they had addded a pulley system for an anchor, but i can add though. I noticed that the hull under the center of the seat seams a little weak and dents/warps when on on my trailer for only an hour... not sure whats up with that (wouldnt mind the extra weight for strength..) at a $1000 its a great canoe and its comfortable. I travel two miles + every outing and no gripes except for that weak section of hull under the seat.

edgar215 - 7 years ago

I'm in the market to buy a new kayak or canoe. I want to use it for fishing bays, marshes, and 1-2 miles off the beach. I saw one on Craigslist for $700 so should pull the trigger, or just get a kayak that can do it all? My only concern is being able to self rescue if I turtle.

The Mad River Serenade has the unique shallow V. The V is the genius of the Vikings. It's unrivaled seaworthiness. The Mad River Serenade also has the lighterweight, cost affordable, fiberglass construction. The Serenade also has a unique tumble home that allows spray rigging. You can take your seat out of the Serenade to your campsite and sit down and watch your firends fight over who gets to sit on the wet log. What I really like about the Serenade is the lines; that is, it is strikingly canoe. You know it's a canoe when you look at it. I paddled one and the combination of glide, tracking and turning was beyond my expectations. (I've had 45 years of canoe experience, having grown up on The FInger Lakes of upstate, NY. My front yard, literally, was Keuka Lake.) I've never seen a more superb boat than the Mad River Serenade. Oh, what I also like about the Serenade, .....you won't have to see a chiropractor after you lift it, like you will with the Old Town.

Ender Bean - 7 years ago

The Serenade is a lot more expensive (almost double the price with the wood option). It looks like max weight capacity is only 300 lbs. which is a lot less than the Next. I don't have experience with either boat, I'm just comparing stats and trying to educate myself.

H2Ozark - 8 years ago

53 pounds is heavy for a 13 footer. My Mohawk Odyssey 15 footer is only 57 pounds.

Western Fugitive - 8 years ago

+H2Ozark I think yours weighs more than 48... Check again cuz I just did.

Looks like a great kayoe. .lol Can't wait to get one.

Mark Brown - 8 years ago

would you recommend the next over a kayak? I like the the additional storage a canoe offers over a kayak but I'm unsure about its stability.

Western Fugitive - 8 years ago

+Mark Brown In looking at these also.. you can make a snap on tarp to cover it at any height also.

Jaywalker - 8 years ago

@Mark Brown I took one out and it's very stable

Jesse Galvan - 8 years ago

that's what I was wondering ?? the stability??
