Your legs will hurt like hell after using this thing for a half hour and not even continuous. This system is great but they need to redesign the pedaling system as the non circulation way of peddaling is very akward to pedal and my idea for my inflatable kayak was my own home made system of a hand pedaller that has handles that sit on a circular track with bearings , these handles are attached to external paddles that go on each side of the kayak, thus allows me to turn while paddling with my arms nonstop and the rudder is foot controlled with a rod running on the kayak with a cable. You have to think of this as simple as possible. My idea is a small setup that collapses into a small bag which you take unto the kayak an deploy on the water all you do is open it and set it on the kayak and then extend the hinged flaps that go on the sides of the kayak . I got this idea from Tom Sawyer and the Mississippi Paddle steamer, a little different though. The best way to paddle is like it has been for thousands of years TO THE SIDES, just like all fish and all sea animals swim. Like I said the paddle system for me is easier, it sits on top of the water so does not break or get damaged underneath. Total cost of my simple system was $50 for parts and some old bike parts.
You also have to be slightly retarded if you go jamming into shore with your Mirage fins still down. That's like saying cars are no good because if you forget to brake when parking you will slam into stuff.
Pro Angler 14?
But if it's 2 or 3 feet deep, you're good to go.
I'm between a Pro Angler 12 and a KC K12. I need maximum storage space and will be fishing/crabbing in some shallow tidal saltwater bays. Would you avoid the Pro Angler b/c the mirage drive in the shallows? I also like the deck space in the K12 for crab traps, baskets, coolers, etc. It's almost like a mini boat that you have to paddle.
Then again, when you take off flying at 6:58 in the Pro Angler...and hands free fishing. Anyway, let me know what you think since you owned a Pro Angler.
Why is this so expensive?
