Wilderness Systems Radar 115 - $1349 + $1100 =$2449 (pedal installed, motor capable, 94 lbs)
Wilderness Systems Radar 135 - $1499 + $1100 = $2599 (pedal installed, motor capable, 101 lbs)
Pescador Pilot 12 v2 - $1799 (pedal only, 85 lbs)
They worked out the kinks from the first Pilot. It's tough to rationalize spending $650 - $800 more for a kayak that has similar features. I've used both of them. If money were not an object, Radar 135. On more of a budget, Pilot all day.
Now I'm only 5'9" 160lbs and the kayak is heavy; over 100 lbs with a rudder installed. Its an absolute mega PIA to load and unload on my kayak rack on my truck by myself. The plastic where you can install flush rod holders is thin and flexes very easy by hand. The plastic also flexes easily when you stand up under your feet. Speed hmm I guess thats up to the person but getting 3 mph requires me to paddle with a hard effort.
Needless to say I'm not happy with it really besides stability. Also the pedal drive uses I tiny prop and 6:1 gear ratio. I haven't tired it yet but I can see some vigorous pedalling to get speed.
I not sure my experience will get any better over time as I'm almost ready to cut my loses and sell. Just the weight alone has me dreading taking it out by myself. I load 100lbs bucket of pool shock into my truck no problem but a 100lb kayak is more than I want to deal with.

The Radar is far better than you're willing to admit. Either you're getting paid to troll or just haven't done your research. Either way, facts are facts.
