Very cool. That'll work. I went with the flush mount rod holders. We've been doing a lot of backpacking but gonna be posting videos on some kayak mods real soon. Subscribe and ring that bell if you want to see what we've done. Thanks for the comment!

Is this kayak replacing the Trailblazer edition? They look identical

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 5 years ago

Not sure, but looking at the current product line, I do not see the Trailblazer. Possibly so.

At 4:10 do the grooves serve a purpose? Fishing poles or something?

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 5 years ago

Yes, I believe what you are referring to are vertical rod holders.

Kristan Vande Wouwer - 5 years ago

Seems very similar to my 2013 Ultimate 100 SE, which I love. Great boats!

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 5 years ago

Yes ... very good boats for sure. Thank you Kristan!

Renee Patterson - 5 years ago

Since you have taken this out in the water, the more important question is how does it handle??? What is the tracking? Is it tippy or pretty stable?

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 5 years ago

Great questions, Renee. This one is my wife's kayak and she likes it very much. The hull design makes this a very stable boat and it also handles well on the water. It holds its course well and is not tippy at all. Thank you!

Hello! Love the channel! I’m saving up for this right now and can’t wait to get it. Thanks for the review on it! I have one question about it and one unrelated. The one about this: How long is it?The unrelated(ish) one: do you know of any cheap kayak wheels? Thanks! I liked and subscribed.

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago

Thank you Owen! I appreciate the kind words and subscription and I'm really happy to hear the review has been helpful. This is a 10 ft. kayak. It is fairly light weight and easy to handle at around 35 lbs, so I haven't purchased a cart for it, but I have seen they are available for around $20 - $35 on ebay. Here's one I have looked at:

Hope this helps and thanks again!

cold? 25 degrees F, try -25-30 C below 0, like your video please post your mods

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 5 years ago

Right on ... Everything is in relation to everything else. Thanks for watching!

Jack Stalnaker - 5 years ago

Ha, the old law holds true... any time someone says it's cold, another person will show up out of nowhere to tell them it's nothing compared to where they're from.

Willie G - 6 years ago

my pleasure

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago

Thanks Willie! I have tried temps like that up in Alaska. That's cold alright. We don't generally get cold temps like that down here in Texas. Will definitely be posting videos of the kayak mods real soon, after an upcoming hike, so stay tuned for that. I appreciate you watching and your comment.

Great review of a great looking kayak, I think I will be upgrading my kayak sometime soon. I currently own the Viper 10.4, I am thinking of getting a square stern canoe or a better kayak. thanks for sharing.

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago

Thanks, we like the Pelicans a lot. Well made boats for sure. Thanks for watching!

Showing support for small channels. Got you subbed. Could you return the favor. Thanks Kevin

MDing ETex with Kevin - 6 years ago

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS Thanks buddy. Much appreciated. Kevin

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago

Thanks buddy I appreciate that. Already checked out your channel ... Good stuff. Subbed you back.

Good review! Gave you one, bro. Support and onward to 1K!

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago

Thanks! Will check out your channel too.

Flying Squirrel Outdoors - 6 years ago

Good review Don. We have two Trailblazers (like you say, not the same, but similar!) we bought for the boys, and have used ourselves quite a bit. Good all around boats.

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago

Yep, we are very happy with ours too. Thanks for stopping by.

Rameman - 6 years ago

I've had sit-on's before now Don and they're great for stability but in recent years i've always gone for sit-in's, less of a wet backside to contend with! That's a good little kayak. By the way,those chimes are not doing my tinnitus any good at all ;-)

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago

Ahh good, something about that didn't quite ring true. "No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor." - Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Rameman - 6 years ago

Only kidding about the tinnitus Don,just my daft limey humour!

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago

Thanks, we are really pleased with our Pelican kayaks. For sit-ins, they are extremely stable. Sorry about the tinnitus Andy. A lot of the time the chimes kind of blend in with the background noise ... I don't notice them at all.

Sarah B - 6 years ago

Nice boat Cindy, almost as cool as mine ;)

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago

Hey Sarah! She said tell you thanks ... not gonna tell you what else she said. LoL We all need to go kayaking real soon.

Connie Tull - 6 years ago

Nice review Don, those look like some real summertime fun. Hope it warms up for you soon. Thanks for the review, I'm looking forward to see the mods. that you make. JT. from Oregon. By some chance of fate for some unknown reason your channel has managed to stay at the top of my subs. Lets hope things have settled down for a while. Keep your fingers crossed.

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago

Thank you JT. One thing about Texas weather ... if you don't like it just wait a few hours. High yesterday 25 -- high tomorrow 65! I am really looking forward to Spring & Summer though. Kayak mods coming soon. Fingers crossed! Don

Pinetree Line Outdoors - 6 years ago

Very nice! Thanks for giving us a really good close review! Appreciate it Don!

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago

Thanks Doug! We have become big fans of Pelican ... they know how to make a kayak up there in Canada for sure. Appreciate you stopping by buddy. Don

Hikergy 16 - 6 years ago

Excellent review, and definitely an investment I'll be making this Summer without a doubt! Thanks a lot!

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago

Thank you. Our kayaks have definitely been a great investment for us. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting. Will look forward to see some kayaking videos on your channel.
