Pelican Argo 100 Kayak Review

We've had this Pelican Argo 100 for about three months now and have taken it out on the water a few times. So this review is not a first impression. It is based on some experience with the boat. My wife likes it very much. The hull design makes this a very stable boat and it also handles well on the water. The seat cushion and backrest are extra padded and very comfortable. We will most likely make a few modifications over time just to personalize it, but this is a good solid kayak right out of the box, and it doesn't break the bank.

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
Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 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
Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago
Yes, I believe what you are referring to are vertical rod holders.

Seems very similar to my 2013 Ultimate 100 SE, which I love. Great boats!
Smilin' Don OUTDOORS
Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago
Yes ... very good boats for sure. Thank you Kristan!

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
Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 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
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:

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.

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.

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
Smilin' Don OUTDOORS - 6 years ago
Yep, we are very happy with ours too. Thanks for stopping by.

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 ;-)

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

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS
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.

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.

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
