I'm sold...badass Jonny boat...

branden worthington - 5 years ago

Is that lake del valle?

Default Name - 5 years ago

How does this compare with a big fish 105? And would you recommend this for a 1st kayak if i plan on pedaling and eventually getting a trolling pod setup if i only want 1 yak?

Also can you do a comparison between a jackson kilroy and a bonafide ex123?

Anchor 20 - 5 years ago

Cool boat! Thanks for the review.

Lance Bangwell - 5 years ago

I’m new to this kayak what motor are you using how much is the motor . Where can I purchase? Do you need to
Buy a boat license permit since it has a motor? How much am I looking at total would you say?. I’m work in McDonald’s saving money cause I love fishing especially bass fishing. Can’t wait to save enough to buy this single
Person kayak.

Would you have to register it because you can put a motor on it

Yeah it's a big fine if he gets caught. But some states is ok. Not California though

I would love to see a review of the star pike vs Blackfoot angler vs bote lono inflatables and any other options in this category you feel worthy to add in.

I wonder if you could get a shade umbrella with solar panels to keep it powered

OffDayAngler - 5 years ago

Thanks for the review. Man I wish FeelFree, or who ever is making this boat, would use some common sense and make a 12fter first. If you are fishing no one wants a 10fter. Not everyone is 5ft 1 120lbs wet. Obviously most people are spending money on 12ft yaks.

Luis R. Villanueva - 5 years ago

Dude that is awesome!

JR Scout - 5 years ago

I just have to tell how much you are appreciated. There is a guy in the RV world named Josh with Haylett RV and his focus is to provide information to educate folks on all products RV whether they are able to purchase from him or not. You are that guy for the paddling community. I guess after this video we should say the Small Watercraft community. We live here in Palm Harbor Florida(across the bay from Tampa) and you make us feel like we are just around the corner. You are a great guy with a great mission and we appreciate all you do.
Jim

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

JR Scout that’s super kind. I appreciate you taking the time to share that.

I'd love to know what you think of the Ascend 12T Sit On Top fishing kayak.

That first guy driving the kayak is two beers away from making a dumb decision. Hint: the way he sticks his legs out of kayak. Unsafe .

Can you do a comparison between this, a soloskiff, and a bote rover?

Eric Gilbertson - 5 years ago

I like it, I live here in Minnesota and I think one of these would be great on the Lakes. I would like to see the electric motor that you can buy the part in the center console in action. Would like to know can a guy hook up a marina battery to that unit put the battery in the back. Great video though I hope you make some more on this boat in the future. I'm debating on this one or the bonafide lol

Fat Guy Outdoors - 5 years ago

Would love to know how weight does it take to capsize the kayak. As a big guy it's a issue I need to consider.

Barnabas HD - 5 years ago

No mention on how it handles the wakes from other boats. I saw the video skip several times when you were around the other boats... So I wonder about that.

Remy T - 5 years ago

Can you please send me the link of the motor you have on this Jonny thank you.

MUNARK - 5 years ago

its in the video descrip at the bottom

Chris Leo - 5 years ago

Too small it is very risky, the crocs could shake and jump on it,

Murdered 141 - 5 years ago

Nice capris dude

STEVEN MULLINS - 5 years ago

Why didn't you show were the battery goes and how long it should last?

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Becuase the boat does not come with a motor or battery. It all depends on the setup you choose. There will be way more videos coming out as we rig it up proper.

wilford green - 5 years ago

Used jon n trailer,,500$...troller 250..give me jonboat ...sorry ..lose here

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

@doja smk I agree this guy is not from CA. John Boats $1500-$2500. Hell just a used trailer is $500 out here. haha

My question is will it work as a kayak until I can afford a motor?

HawkAlum Nus - 5 years ago

Of course but it's almost 80 lbs without accessories so you won't be flying.

Genesis Ingente - 5 years ago

Too small and, it seem like easy to flip with small wave, or one more wrong balance, u be flip that thing

Terrence Dillon - 5 years ago

What would be the average battery running time.on the electric motor

Terrence Dillon - 5 years ago

3000 plus. Not bad if you think about it

Terrence Dillon - 5 years ago

If you say so

Adam Wilson - 5 years ago

When a used 14-16' v hull with motor and trailer can be had for the same or less id say its pretty bad

Glenn Derr - 5 years ago

How long does batteries last.

Chloe Hennessey - 5 years ago

I’ve got a 2 stroke 3 horse that weighs about 18 pounds. I bored it out, stroked it, bigger reeds, Mikuni carb upgrade and now it’s putting out about 6 to 8 HP. Fuel tank is integrated into the top of the motor. Be fun with this!

Would have to register it as a boat with a motor

Verdell Parent /aaa wink - 5 years ago

I would like to try the motor system I build on the Johnny boat,,I could make a really nice system for this boat..the torquido is ok if it had a lift system and cable steering to fit this boat,,I'm Shure with a few minor adjustments my system will go right on the Johnny boat and have steering ,,motor lift,,on off switch all from the cockpit

Scott Bangart - 5 years ago

How much is that motor

Chase Reynolds - 5 years ago

Awesome, you had to really try to get it to flip. You can't say that for a lot of high priced yaks.

Jay Dee - 5 years ago

Pontoon Boat.....

Chuck Taylor - 5 years ago

The concept is much needed as DIYers are attaching motors to regular kayaks, but it's too short. Needs to be a 14 footer for 2 person fishing or for a back water family sight cruiser. Need to rig a single side lever steering, so you don't have to reach around. Good start in the right direction, but needs major rethink.

Tee Tao - 5 years ago

92 k views wow

David Coward - 5 years ago

Can you use it on salt water?

Brian McQuinn - 5 years ago

Have you ever considered the Wilderness ATAK line? Really curious to see how you think they compare to the other brands you carry.

Jake B - 5 years ago

Do you have to license this?

James Cross - 5 years ago

Would not like having to reach around like that for the motor. Cool hull design wish it was 2 feet longer

Henauder Titzauf - 5 years ago

I had a 16’ boat with two seats, 25 hp Chrysler, and the driver seat was up front. If you have to steer in that very uncomfortable position, it needs stick steering. My boat had stick steering, GREAT. The stick was on the right side, throttle on left side. Just my 2 cents about sore shoulders and a good style fishing rig.

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Right that is an accessory that is available. I just didn’t have it yet and I wanted to play with my new toy.

crixus 52 - 5 years ago

Anybody try one of these yet? I got a Nucanoe Flint with a motor and thinking of selling it for this.....

pink mist - 5 years ago

@crixus 52 that sounds like a good deal man. I'm in Texas hopefully your close?

crixus 52 - 5 years ago

@pink mist $700 with depth finder and some other gear

pink mist - 5 years ago

Hey how much you want for that Flint?

goophy30 - 5 years ago

They really hit it out of the park with this one. The options of power and that low price is amazing. I'm searching in Wisconsin on where to get one.

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

goophy30 I’m not sure if you have a local dealer but if not hit me up and I’ll arrange to have one shipped up to you.

Mike Engler - 5 years ago

Great video

Chris Pilot - 5 years ago

Great review. I'm intrigued by these hybrid kayaks/boats (this one and the Pelican), but I think I'll stick with my F&S Shadow Caster 123 with its 55# thrust troller on the stern, which is still a very much a paddle craft. In other words, your 3 Waters Big Fish recommendation (they're made by the same manufacturer).

Mike Kearney - 5 years ago

Ronald Harris - 5 years ago

If torqeedo ever makes a more affordable. Version of that motor they will sell a bunch of them

Ronald Harris - 5 years ago

@Charlie HustleHard I have found the elco outboard is cheaper but has a solid pedigree and has been around for a long time it's plug and play so you can hook it to your choice of batteries, and use it like an outboard

Okie Rider - 5 years ago

Or don't be a cheap skate.

LoneWolf - 5 years ago

Agreed, 2 Grand for an Electric Trolling Motor is just too pricey... especially for a $900 boat.

Jerry Newberry - 5 years ago

Why don't you mount the torkeedo in the well in front of you.?

Scott Nielsen - 5 years ago

My name is Scott Nelson I live in Nebraska I bought a fishing kayak that came actually from Walmart and you have inspired me to build my kayak do bigger fishing more fishing I'm out there every minute I can just two fish you have inspired me a lot

That seems like an unfair advantage for kayak tourneys imo...but if they allow it, take advantage of it I guess. Btw, I preordered the boonedox Jackson rudder from you! Can’t wait til end of next month! Now just to hear how much the e drive will cost. Any idea?

ant cri - 5 years ago

$900 + $600 for a steerable trolling motor+$165 for a gas motor kit without the motor + $770 for a 2.5 HP outboard + tax and whatnot would be over $2500. No thanks, I can get a good used real boat for that.

Theodore Dowman - 5 years ago

@Adam Wilson because people can't put boats on their roof racks. That's my guess.

Adam Wilson - 5 years ago

Thats what i think anytime i look at these new kayaks. Pretty much have to trailer them anyway so why not buy a boat and be comfortable

Theodore Dowman - 5 years ago

My 13' v hull aluminum boat came with a johnson 15, a trailer, an anchor, & a fish finder.
It costed me 1,300.00 lol.

Hey, would you ever consider reviewing the Ozark Trail Pro Angler? It is a cheaper sit on top kayak that is offered by Walmart but seems to have decent stability. I was just wondering what you thought about it. Thanks!

Larry Moffatt - 5 years ago

Hey Dan: trippin with a motor = FUN; flippin with a motor = not for me.

Dre Sted - 5 years ago

Pretty cool little boat. Good review.

That said, if you don’t want a real boat, just want something with a trolling motor just to fish out of, you just can’t beat the Pelican Bass Raider. Stable as can be, tons of room and you can just throw in the back of the truck or top of the car. Pelican is also way cheaper.

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Dre Sted those have a place too. If I lived on a private pond I’d have one with a little trolling motor. With that said this thing with a gas motor would cover miles and you just can’t do that in a bass raider. We are seeing hairs being split in the industry. So many niches being flushed out.

Daniel Johnson - 5 years ago

Wow, I want one Lol, looks like fun : )

The Walker - 5 years ago

Is it possible to fit a peddle unit in the power plant cavity?... Is the producing company looking into that possibility? Have you guys tried to fit check some of the peddle units on hand? Clearly more demos and adapting schemes can be helpful. Super video!!… This baby deserves a series.

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

I like the idea. I will be messing around with this platform a ton! Pedal drives would be tough due to mounting positions. But Matt is a wizard when it comes to rigging.

May Bon Phuong Troi - 5 years ago

What kind of motor is this ? I don't even see the battery . This is my dream comes true . I hate trailer , top load or paddle due to poor health . With this one I just stick it in my Toyota High Lander and go . Can't wait for the Pelican Power 100 to come out so I can compare and pick the most suitable for me . Thanks for a very informative video .

NoGlockTrucker - 5 years ago

What is your opinion of the Tarpon 120 from Wilderness? By the way I bought the Vibe Yellowfin130T because of your videos on it. It’s a great yak to take my grandkids out on and use solo.

Alvin Wine - 5 years ago

I like that with a little 30# thrust trolling motor that would be perfect for the 60 acre lake I live on here in Florida I'm getting too old to paddle much anymore but I still want to get out and fish .

packinaglock - 5 years ago

I live in Florida too bud and have been kinda tossing the Kayak thing around in my head. The thing holding me back is gators. I have two job boats but the Kayak sits so low in the water. Does that bother you at all?

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Alvin Wine perfect tool for the job.

rbrADV - 5 years ago

With a square stern, even at only 10-foot, this will perform better and be safer than any kayak with a motor. People need to understand that kayaks aren't designed for motors. The balance, weight distribution and forward thrust - which the kayak engineers built in - are ruined when you hang a motor on the point of the stern. That's why I only use a motor on my WavewalkBoats. twin hull W700 where the GAS OUTBOARD is mounted forward of the stern.

Vincent Serafini - 5 years ago

Would you trust this thing to do BTB fishing??

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Vincent Serafini no

Mark Welch - 5 years ago

The price is killer for what it is....

jt bass gambler - 5 years ago

U could have bought a boat for same price

jt bass gambler - 5 years ago

I bought a boat for 900 bucks came with a 9.9hp

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

jt bass gambler for $899. Like I said the motor is mine that I’ve had hanging around. Even if you got every accessory with a gas motor and the electric motor pod you’d be looking at 3k. What boat could you buy outfitted for that??

edward campos - 5 years ago

Awesome. Appreciate you taking the time to do these reviews and videos.

Bryan Turner - 5 years ago

I agree, definitely not a kayak. Crazy it qualifies for kayak tournaments. I think if it has to be registered it doesn’t qualify.

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Bryan Turner I wish that was the rule. Motors have opened doors for way to much non kayak stuff. It’s disappointing and discouraging for guys who still love to kayak.

Viktor Nikolov - 5 years ago

Oooh that's a titan... no wait it's a dorado... never mind :D

adrianS - 5 years ago

Dan, you make a great point about self-rescue with a motor. How does that work out? With a gas motor you have at least a 40lb weight on the rear, and a gas tank. With a trolling motor, youve got a big heavy battery which hopefully is affixed to the boat in the event it flips...or for the sake of getting back on and getting back to safety, maybe not. In all reality, a tow is probably in order. IMO, I'd stick with at most a pedal drive.

The Watch Show - 5 years ago

Yes. Soon as it flips that motor is done. Quite a problem for far away from home.

James Sheehan - 5 years ago

That laugh gets me every time lol

Mike Watson - 5 years ago

Interesting. Still, not sure how I feel about it. You should try it will a mere mortal motor such as a 55lbs thrust Minn Kota and 12volt deep cycle battery.

model nutty - 5 years ago

that "rule of squares" gonna kick into play for displacement hulls...
10ft square root times 1.56 = 4.93 mph, times .75 is 3.7 mph, times .8 is 3.94 mph... is going to be just about its efficiency speed range. 30-36lb trolling motor would be plenty. at 12ft it'd change to 4-4.3 mph for efficiency speed. trying to push faster gains little, drains battery lots faster.

Isaiah Castillo - 5 years ago

“Basically a square.” Nah, basically a rectangle lol

Frank Ladd - 5 years ago

Except for tight creeks, mangrove tunnels and cypress swamps, I would rather have a Grumman Canoe squareback with a motor. But, there are a lot of places where a trolling motor on a "One Man Boat" is the ticket to catching the fish. Reminds me of a Creek Boat M98.

Robert coggins - 5 years ago

I love you review videos . I bought my Titan after watching you and Greg B. But it love hate thing now I got think about another toy .LOL Thanks Dan

SinFul Bassin' - 5 years ago

How would you compare it to the nucanoe flint or the nucanoe frontier 10?

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

SinFul Bassin' hmm totally different. More of a boat less of a yak. Square flat stern handles a motor better.

Howabouthetruth - 5 years ago

Seems like a really good value. For those interested, an actual Torqueedo rep has a youtube channel ( sorry, I can't recall his name) and his top speed in one of the better, larger Jackson fishing kayaks IN PROTECTED, CALM WATER was 5 mph with the Torqueedo. Of course his Jackson is heavier than this craft. I wonder if this Jonny boat can handle a 2.5 hp outboard. If so, you could save a ton of money on power........and still go much faster than the Torqueedo.

Howabouthetruth - 5 years ago

@Headwaters Kayak That's good to know. He was using the top of the line Torqueedo for kayaks, with the deluxe battery ( whatever it's called )........I was kind of shocked that it only ran 5 mph top speed in calm water in his big Jackson. He was comparing performance against the Bixby. The video is less than 2 years old I believe. Of course it blew away the Bixby, and I really like the Torqueedo........but they are way too greedy. I know for a fact it takes far more labor, materials, and machining to produce a small gas powered outboard, vs an electric.......yet they charge double.....or more. It's sad actually. They could chop the price in half, and sell SO many more Torqueedo's, that it would more than make up for the smaller profit margin. The way they are priced now, they are LOSING far too much market share. ( This whole "global warming/climate change" thing is nothing but a proven scam anyway. If people want go after A REAL problem about "mankind vs Earth".......they need to go after the military industrial complex and their 24/7 spraying of chem trails. They and their contractors are spraying all over the world, even over the open oceans.........365 days a year. It's so wicked & despicable. ) I believe you are going to sell the Jonny boat like hot cakes!!! Keep up the great work Brother, and tight lines!!! Long time subscriber Steve........Melbourne, Fl.

Howabouthetruth yes it’s meant to take a 2.5 and I’ve seen guys run up to 6hp. They don’t advise it though. Was Jeff (from Torqeedo) using a travel motor?

Bobby Luffman Jr - 5 years ago

I seen a 14' lowe aluminum deep v boat with 15 hp mercury tiller model with trailer thousand dollors or best offer. Keep the kayaking simple and paddle or pedal. Shouldn't be in that much of hurry while kayaking anyway.. Learn to have the correct paddle form and it will be fun and less effort. The more companies keep pushing the motor issue. The more heavier,longer,wider,faster. Eventually two people won't be able to carry it. So that means you'll need a trailer backing it in and out of the water just like a boat. Prices will definitely go up as well. Am just say I personally dont like the idea but if you like it go for it.

The Watch Show - 5 years ago

Truth. This boat is a foolish gimick except for the small ponds.

Greg Snell - 5 years ago

It would be nice to see it with one of the fixed Jonny pods and rudder, looks really fast with that motor!

perfectworld111 - 5 years ago

Can you put a pedal drive on that

JaimeAstin - 5 years ago

Funny with the cutting board, kayak diy for sure!

JaimeAstin - 5 years ago

@Headwaters Kayak oh yeah,. I have cutting board on my kayaks and boat as well.

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

JaimeAstin we know how to get stuff done in a pinch. Haha

JaimeAstin - 5 years ago

Been meaning to contact you about buying one. I am in the CA delta area and was thinking heading your way today. I want to talk to Johnny Boats as well to see about getting one...

Guns&Gear - 5 years ago

I have a big fish 105 your video helped me decide on it when I was looking for a fishing kayak but I’m definitely having a Jonny boats bass 100 or the one that pelican came out with I’d love to see you do a video on the pelican

Chris Fisher - 5 years ago

Now they need a 120 version

Stoney Lonsome - 5 years ago

Way too loud imo- I think I prefer the stealth of my paddle- the whole point of getting a kayak to fish from is because they can go where big boats can't and because they are super stealthy- this is just a little bass boat basically. I'm not saying I wouldn't use one, I'm saying it wouldn't replace my kayak- it's a whole different thing.

Kent Moua - 5 years ago

Can you get the new pelican boat kayak please!!!!!!!!

Gerald Koth - 5 years ago

The Pelican version is Vaporware at this time.

Thomas Coyne - 5 years ago

Nice boat for sure. Perfect for the back waters.
When talking stability, where you talking about the emotion stealth pro angler?

Signcarver Mike - 5 years ago

Very cool looking little boat but with real motor you would still need trolling motor if you’re wanting to fish. I’ll stick with my Old Gown Top Water 120 PDL

Signcarver Mike - 5 years ago

Stoney Lonsome Oh OK, it is a cool looking little boat.

Stoney Lonsome - 5 years ago

It has a place to install a trolling motor in front of where you sit. You can use it as your only motor or, have both.

SummitLifeTV - 5 years ago

that's one cool kayak!! I cant wait to get out there and start yak fishing again so I can make more content for my channel.

Ryker Carlson - 5 years ago

Dude I legit see you everywhere I sub to you channel

Roy Herrera - 5 years ago

They need to make more affordable pedal systems. A grand is overkill IMO.

SummitLifeTV - 5 years ago

I agree

William Barbour - 5 years ago

Wow!! I'm motivated How will it do in the ocean?!
Thanks

William Barbour - 5 years ago

@Headwaters Kayak
Cool thanks

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

William Barbour it’s to small for ocean use IMO. If wait for a longer one.

Daniel Hanfiro - 5 years ago

Do you think it would handle the ocean alright?

Daniel Hanfiro - 5 years ago

Headwaters Kayak darn. Do you think the Bigfish 120 would work in the ocean? And thanks for the awesome video!

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

No. wait for a longer one for the ocean.

stephen guittard - 5 years ago

Dan with that wake you could get a boarder up with that motor. Man how I miss my NCKA guys

stephen guittard - 5 years ago

@Headwaters Kayak Would be fun to give it a try on a small tank here in Texas.

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

NCKA would have bashed me for this. And rightfully so. With that said it has more interest than any kayak I've ever posted. The times are changing.

Rajesh Sharma - 5 years ago

Your thoughts on this compred to nucanoe frontier 12

Rajesh Sharma - 5 years ago

@Headwaters Kayak thank u for the reply i like that u can put a motor.in the front of the jonny look forward for more reviews

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Nucanoe is a more versatile craft with tons of rigging options. This is a better boat if you goal is to have a motorized platform.

sps8807 - 5 years ago

How do you think a 6hp would do on this? I know it's not rated for one, but that's what I have in the garage lol

sps8807 - 5 years ago

Headwaters Kayak awesome, I'll check it out!, Thanks for being kayak guinea pigs. Love your channel!

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

I have a video of it with a six HP engine up on my Instagram. Scary fast.

James Wright - 5 years ago

I would think you’d be ok, just don’t turn too quick! Lol

SummitLifeTV - 5 years ago

ohh man you'd be in for a ride

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Bring it by and lets go play! I bet it would do 15 mph and be scary fun. But we cant condone it. ;)

Rajesh Sharma - 5 years ago

Nice video thank you

JCBHatesBlank - 5 years ago

Yeah, that shit shouldn't be legal for KAYAK Bass Fishing.

Adam Wilson - 5 years ago

@JCBHatesBlank not just teens lol. I wont bother to enter a tourny because i cant afford a yak that would even begin to compete.

Mike Stackz - 5 years ago

JCBHatesBlank so if teens wanna get into kayak fishing what’s wrong with that

JCBHatesBlank - 5 years ago

@Headwaters Kayak It's frustrating because it makes the barrier to entry even higher for teens who want to get into the sport and don't have 2k to drop on a pedal drive as is.

I have seen this come up way too often with high school anglers over the past year.

SummitLifeTV - 5 years ago

haha lol its pretty much a boat

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Agreed 100%! Torqeedo's big money got them in, and not I'm afraid motors are here to stay. Changes the game for sure.

Shaine Bingham - 5 years ago

Great review. Really have me thinking lol.

Lori Wieder - 5 years ago

Also was the seat comfortable and adjustable, lumbar and up and down?

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Didn't even talk about that! It's incredible. Adjustable up and down and three different trim positions. It was super cozy.

Jason S - 5 years ago

Ok so one thing I noticed. If you use a motor like the one you had or a gas motor you lose all of the rear storage area. I use a crate with rod holders mounted to it and theres no way it would fit because you need to be able to steer and everything. So youd be banging your poles and everything with the handle of the motor.

I also dont think its fair these can be used for kayak fishing tournaments. Your not even paddling just driving a small all electric boat.

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Really good points. You have two horizonal rod stagers, but you would be limited on verticle pole storage for sure. I agree the picture of a dude sitting back eating a sandwich as he passes me paddling my kayak going to my spot, doesn't sit well for me either. But that could be any kayak with a motor really. A Wilderness Atak 140 with a Torqeedo would still be faster. So its not the boat as much as its the ability to add motors, that makes for an unfair advantage.

Jim Jerome - 5 years ago

How long does that torquedo stay charged ?

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

It would depend on how much you use it. Full SPeed non stop maybe 3-4 hours. But thats a wild guess. I used 15% battery in the hour I was out there.

Lori Wieder - 5 years ago

Great review. Thank you. Can you post the cost for accessories and do you add them to the boat prior to shipping out state.

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

We don't ship boats. I'm sure ACK will have them available to ship.

Rick Garcia - 5 years ago

Great review...boat looks killer for the price... Swivel seat would be perfect... Btw. Head stand on the boat was impressive

James K - 5 years ago

The Torqeedo 1003.. comes with a "reach around".

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Ah the ol reach around.

Kris Kuehn - 5 years ago

KBF might as well expect bass buggy or those Coleman boat if they allow that... Cool little boat looks like a lot of fun

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

I agree the lines are being burred. Decisions made early on kinda set the stage for things like this to be excepted. IMO it should have stayed human powered, and non of this stuff would exist. With that said Hoover and crew has done more for this sport and I ever dreamed, so I cant really complain.

Willful Mystic - 5 years ago

This is the fishing kayak of the future; unfortunately this Jonny Bass is a toad.

Lt. Fireguy - 5 years ago

Swivel seat and outriggers and they would crush the market

Howabouthetruth - 5 years ago

@Lt. Fireguy I'm in south Brevard co. Melbourne to be exact. If ya wanna see my boat and the custom casting deck I made for it, visit my friend Gerry's channel: "Lunker012" and scroll down his video list & find: "The Twin Troller Gets a Casting Platform". I also sent him several other videos to post on his channel pertaining to the Twin Troller and bass fishing in my area. No actual fishing footage, but I did make videos about the boat, and picture videos about my bass fishing at this time. I need to get a gopro.

Lt. Fireguy - 5 years ago

@Howabouthetruth I'm in central Florida also. Polk co

Howabouthetruth - 5 years ago

Well, you could say that for most any kayak. I love this channel, I dig many of the fishing kayaks, and I truly appreciate and admire all the hard work & effort he puts into demo'ing these yaks for viewers, with total honesty. But man, do I ever love my Twin Troller X-10. I've owned it for 2 yrs and 8 months now. I fish more than the average bass fisherman here in central Florida, and after owning quite a few various boats, including 2 bass boats in the past.........I can honestly say, dollar for dollar, the Twin Troller is the best investment I have ever made in any fishing boat. Absolutely nothing, at any price, has the handling, prowess, stability, and comfort of the Twin Troller while fishing, and totally hands free at all times. It can out-maneuver anything on the water. Seriously. 2 large men can't capsize the Twin Troller if they tried, and that's no joke. It also takes my 3.5 hp Tohatsu 4 stroke outboard quite nicely for larger lakes & rivers. It runs about 10 mph top speed with the outboard, and 4 mph using the hidden & protected twin MotorGuide trolling motor heads with twin pedals. The swivel seats are like sitting in a comfortable office chair. 1 or 2 anglers can sit or stand and fish. ( 10 feet long x 4 feet wide ).....The ONLY drawback, is it weighs 175 lbs, and some folks can't use that in waters where a craft must be carried to the bank to launch. They make a dolly for it, but I trailer mine. The transom is so strong, I can leave the outboard on, even while trailering over rough roads & pot holes. I'm just as tickled with it today, as the day I first received it. They are pricey, but they are worth every dollar, and the hull is incredibly strong. I easily carry 8 baitcaster rod/reel combo's laid completely flat in the extra deep side trays & plenty of room for tackle, cooler, utility box, etc. The electric motors run all day on a single charge with the series 29 deep cycle marine battery. I invented a custom raised casting platform covered with SeaDek. It makes the boat even better in many ways. I feel like I got my bass boat back with the casting deck. But I still love kayaks too. Tight Lines.

Sarge's Adventures - 5 years ago

Neat boat but, not for me.

That would ruin me for sure doing Kayak Tourneys; - might as well be going against a bass boat.

No thanks I like to keep it Human powered.

Hopefully someone does some regulations or restrictions on these for Kayak Tourneys.

Dustin Pomeroy - 5 years ago

Are you there to win?,concept is the same ,get out there quick and cover as much water as you can.its a legal asvantage,if it were me and I was fishing to win i would have one.

Sarge's Adventures - 5 years ago

@Jason S Yep.... reason I do not do much of them. Torqeedo and Bixby both should not be allowed with Human power.

Jason S - 5 years ago

I agree I honestly think that as far as tournys go it should be paddle or peddle. No motors of any sort.

Ben Tackett - 5 years ago

That’s supposed to be a travel motor?

Joe Digout it’s true! Paddling is still way better in every way IMO. But this puts a smile on your face. Kinda like mountain Bikes vs dirt bikes. I’m a human power guy.

How Long Do The Batteries Last With Those Motors Thanks

AnalogAssassin1 - 5 years ago

Would depend on battery buyer uses and motor used with said.

Jerry Krabe - 5 years ago

Roughly $3500 as tested with the 1003?

Jerry Krabe - 5 years ago

@Headwaters Kayak I hear ya

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Jerry Krabe well $2900 I suppose. I think people would be foolish to spend that much on this motor and yak setup, but it’s what I had and it works fantastic.

Jerry Krabe - 5 years ago

This boat is going to reach a lot of folks who just aren't into paddling a kayak.

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

True.
