Tony, Would you prefer the new 10.5 Titan over a Predator PDL, or Native Slayer propel? I am looking for stability, and a small seat behind my for kid. So definitely stability I am looking for. I heard lot's of bad thing about Titan as cavitation problem, very heavy, leaks etc, so I am hoping the 10.5 version will be better.. What do you think? ( Not interested in any Hobie lol)

I was looking forward to demoing this boat this weekend and was disappointed after I tried it. Tony is being nice. The drive cavitates badly, especially bad when going from forward to reverse. The Native rep at the demo did say the that Native is aware of the problem and is in the process of addressing it.
Justin Schnadelbach
Justin Schnadelbach - 7 years ago
My only problem with these newer pedal kayaks is the $$$$. As some have said, for $3300 you shouldn't hear anything from the drive or boat. Also, for that much you can find a decent boat. To each their own on that, but if I have to trailer it, and need a big cart just to get it around. I might as well get a boat. JMO

k guys, I posted this in here as it is (was) my intention to purchase the Titan and will use it for all of my fishing needs and BTB. I am a big guy, 6'2" 250lbs so this kayak has had my attention. Currently I own the 2013 PA 14, a great boat I would just like a different layout. My first kayak was the Native Mariner 13.5 and I loved the propel system.

Today April 22, I rented the Native Titan and headed to Lake Conroe, wanted to spend the day in the kayak to see if I really was going to spend the kind of bank they request for the new Titan. I have seen many videos and as always I believe and the videos never inform us on how big the person in the kayaks are they jump around do their marketing dances and rave on how great the product ABC kayak is. AND !!!! it is always different when I get in the product ABC kayak. Why?? Because the guy in the video is 5'4" and 145 pounds, a very big difference between him and me. Another big indicator to me is that all the videos are shot on glass type of conditions, never in the real world condition. It is not like when I get to the water if I can't shave in it I am packing up and going home. 

Well I can say that I attended the demo days and tested the Titan, in Conroe glass conditions, (not a great test), however it still cavitation problems. Then I went to Missouri City demo days, bigger pond more wind slight chop, (better test) still the same problem.

Today Lake Conroe (Scott's Ridge) high winds as the front pushed through some white caps not great conditions to be in a kayak but it was great conditions for testing the true performance of this vessel.

After putting the kayak in the water I pulled it around to the small cove next to the launch and loaded a couple of poles my phone, a DP, and my life jacket. Of I went, out to the left around towards the swimming area. The water was very choppy, ( I would say 1-2 ft seas as a comparison) the kayak did not give me any concerns though it felt very stable even as I turn the kayak parallel to the waves to see if that gave me any concern. None I never felt I was going to turtle, something I would not have done in any other kayak. 

Tied up the first set off trees to see how it handles this kind of choppy conditions, was the nose going to handle this? Was it going to be too shaky? was it going to lift and slam down getting jerked by the rope tightening up and then giving slack as it settled into the next oncoming wave? Nothing I have fished this spot many of times in the same conditions and much better conditions. I prefer the better but today was not about that. I felt very comfortable, never being jerked around never slamming down, this kayak performed great.

Released the rope and headed out to the middle of the lake out past the old rail tram entering the bigger body of water headed towards the 1097 bridge. I stopped paddling and stood up moved around and never felt in any danger. The is something I can not do in any other kayak period. I got on my knees and crawled out to the nose and sat on the front hatch cover of towards one side for strength and hung my legs of the front of the kayak. I almost fell in but what I was doing was not normal and would not be doing at anytime in normal fishing conditions. The kayak did not feel as it was going to flip, I almost fell as the waves were very rough and the wind was incredibly strong.

Ok enough about the amazing stability with this kayak and down to what I think is the more important concern.

The drive on this kayak needs to be reviewed. The center of the hull of the kayak is concave, and not just by a little, it is a very large area. I would think that it is designed this way to help allow the kayak to remain stable, and get into skinny water with it weight of nearly 150lbs. The kayak move or travels through the water superbly at either fast or slow speeds. What happens in smooth water and worse in chop is that the propeller creates positive and negative forces, drawing water in and pushing water out to thrust you in either direction. When peddling this actions causes the water to be drawn towards the propeller and you can take the center cover off and watch as it creates a void so the propeller is pulling air. Yes AIR, and you loose propulsion. When this happens it makes noise in both smooth or choppy conditions. the biggest concern is that when you are heading into a headwind you must apply more force to move forward, this causes the drive to cavitate, add some chop and the problem gets worse. 

the hull being concave, and the drive unit not being longer where the propeller is down further in the water really creates an large issue with getting this kayak through the water. I don't want to fish in mirror conditions, I want to fish anytime I want and when I get to my destination and it is choppy I want to put my yak in the water and catch fish.

When I returned the Titan to ACK in Spring, I spoke to the manager, who quickly stated that he was told this was only a proto type and that changes may be made. In the same few minutes he told me that he had 24 of these units sold already. I hope for the people who have already purchased that this issue is resolved. I know that you can use the transom mount for a trolling motor but you can always use this and participate in many tournaments. I want this kayak just not sure I want something that I am going to struggle with in the water.

Hope this helps.

They make a vantage seat like hobie im sold. But if hobie were to amazingly configure the mirage drive into an automatic reverse somehow i think hobie would be hands down with out a doubt #1 forever lol. Love how quick it turns vs the hobie pa. anyway a few questions.
What was the loud noise was when turning on the titan? does the drive come up quickly if needed?

In your opinion how easy is it to break the propeller? and how much would it cost for replacement/ how easy to buy a new propeller?

If available- how much would an extra seat cost?

I've drove myself nuts over the past 2 months deciding between a Hobie PA12, Old Town PDL and this came into the mix. Unfortunately we have zero "test drive days" around here so relying on reviews and a lot of research. Like anything they all have their pros and cons, I ended up going with a PA12 mainly because of space. The PDL was very limited in space in my opinion, Native Titan wouldn't be available around here unless special ordered (then I'm stuck with it) and to be honest, I think they are ugly as hell, plus the 2 or 3 pedal drive kayaks I have been able to put hands on all had noisy drive systems.

Awesome video and thanks for sharing! I can't wait for the ACK demo in New Braunsfels next weekend- hopefully they will have one to test at this event as well. At 6'4" and 385lbs I'm truly torn between the Titan and PA14. Unfortunately, the PA Advantage seat is rated at 350lbs so I'm not sure it would be a wise purchase for me. Quick question about the 'guy' at the end of the video: Did he purchase the demo Titan? If so, did they offer a discount for it? Thanks again and looking forward to the next vid. #subscribed
CrazyArrow444
CrazyArrow444 - 7 years ago
Thanks for the feedback. My last kayak was a 2012 PA14 and I actually liked the old style seat. I found an excellent deal on a new-to-me loaded 2015 PA14 that was too good to pass up, so it looks like I'm going to stick with the proven Hobie for now. I'll give the Titan a year or two on the market to see how it holds up in quality.
VentureTube
VentureTube - 7 years ago
If it's the chair you are worried about, I can tell you that the build quality of the Hobie seat exceeds that of the Native. Yes, the guy at the end of the video purchased a Titan but did not receive a discount that I'm aware of. He is waiting on it to be delivered. Thanks for the sub!

Nice review, are you leaving the Hobie family? Guess you have to use the horizontal rod holder if you want to use the rotate back feature of the seat, otherwise the rods will be in your face lol. I would probably just use that feature for stretching, full body extension on the boat will be a nice break from the intense fishing, c'mon

So you've got 5k buring a hole in your pocket, you go to the Kayak store. Does the Hobie PA 14 2017, the Predator PDL, or the Watercraft Titan get pulled home behind that sweet Van of yours? Most important part of the answer is why, I can't find anywhere why you prefer one over the other. COME ON.....

Fred Fable I'm just guessing, not sure how the inside of the system is driven, maybe by a chain, or some type of gears on the inside idk but it needs some damn grease on the inside of the mechanical part for $3300 lol

Well...seems your stuff needs a Quick Fix...LLLOOOLLLL!!
I make that noise only when I'm not fishing and become grumpy and farty!! LOLLLL....
Not even my lawn mower makes such a noise...ha ha haha!

Ok, enjoy the joke. Check exactly 3:21 and see him making that noise when standing up not pedaling at all...he is tall as you, but probably not farty as me. (LOL)

I have a bass boat as well as a propel system .......its not the seat and it's not the pedal drive grinding
Fred Fable
Fred Fable - 7 years ago
Do you know what it seems to be?

(I checked the video a couple of times) and I believe part of the sound is the seat.
The seat seems to have a loose play somewhere, is noticeable when he pushes the pedal forward and when he stands up no peddaling at 3:21 the hull resonance in any kayak is big...

I have a Slayer and it makes this sound whenever you change directions suddenly.................whenever I go immediately from forward to reverse it makes that noise.................its actually not the boat making the noise its the water churning below and beig amplified by the haul........a troll motor will make the same water churning noise when you make a drastic change in direction and suddenly change the waterflow direction

yeah I really like the native boats but Im kind of with you. for that money I feel like I need a little more stealth. Ive been out around the slayer propels and never heard that.

anytime you talk to a Hobie dealer they say the Titan will not track straight. What did you fill in the field?
second question how does it feel doing a full Revolution with your legs versus just pushing and pulling with the Hobie?
VentureTube
VentureTube - 7 years ago
The Hobie seat is much easier on the back and it has adjustable lumbar support that actually works surprisingly well.
andrew

oh well since you say that I do have a bad back with the problem being in my lumbar spine. which do you think is easier on the lower back out of the natives or the hobie
VentureTube

Noel Laflamme (fishfinder401) honestly I'd say it's about the same on your knees. The difference is in your lower back and stomach

I don't recall the Titan not tracking straight. Seemed to track perfectly but I will be spending more time on the Titan in another video. Hands down, the mirage drive is an easier motion vs the propel.

That's the ugliest boat ever. It's not a kayak. The flat back is hideous. Stupid design.

SlikRik if you have a way to transport the PA14 easily, you will be happier with that yak in the long run

VentureTube thanks, my hearing is shot, didn't have my hearing aid on. I'm hoping to get a peddle drive next year, I believe you have a Pa14 which I'm leaning towards that and outback
