i wanted to thank you sir for this extremely in depth video, wich determined whether or not i was going to buy one of these. that said , i pick up my new kayak tomorrow morning. thanks 334. I'm in SW Florida and plan on many FL keys trips for spear fishing and some shallow flats fishing. Done very well on an inflatable 13 ft paddle board, during lobster season, as well as tooling around the backwater for snapper and redfish. This helped me take the leap and upgrade. Thanks amigo

These kayaks are awesome! Couple things that I mentioned on Untamed Outdoors channel, is that this boat is long and heavy. If you’re planning on buying one, make sure you have the means to transport it. It isn’t gonna be fun to throw it on top of a sedan. Another thing is that a few people have complained of the deck cracking at the feet position. The foam blocks that are inside aren’t fixed into place and will work themselves out of position over time. If you reach inside, you can move them back into place to help support your weight.

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzread.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

Either one is great the difference between the Outlaw and the Ascend, the Outlaw is lighter by 50lbs, but doesn’t have the space that the Ascend 133x has. Modifications are easier on the Ascend, but either one can be modified to fit your needs. I would really suggest going and looking at both kayaks and seeing which one jumps out at you if that’s possible. Bass pro has the ascend and academy sports has the Outlaw if either of them are close to you.

I haven't had any problems what so ever. Top speed with all that is 4 mph. Even had a drag a capped size kayak full of water once after a kid fell in the water for almost two miles and still didn't have any problems with the kayak or the trolling motor and mount.

It doesn’t have a rudder.

How much is this kayak?

It goes on sale at basspro.com at different times, but its normal price is $1099.00.

How much is it

$1099.00 they do go on sale from time to time.

Looks like they have sacrificed maneuverability for stability. Looks like your paddling around a cement block.

I don’t paddle I have the Motorguide xi3 bow mount trolling motor. It is a big kayak to paddle, but worth it for the stabling you get.

Sorry but that ring is more like a boat than a kayak. You would be much better off with a 12ft Jon boat. Weight - a small Jon boat is only slightly heavier. And you have to trailer it so it doesn’t matter 🤷‍♂️ And that thing is not stable. If your not exactly in the center you are falling in. But to each his own. If your happy with it that’s all that matters.

lol it’s built to have a trolling motor put in it, but it’s really not that bad to paddle either.

Its a nice kayak but its made of super shitty material, i got the ascend 128t with yak power and the material is so shitty that it rubbed a hole through it in 3 months (18 times of use), i will never ever ever buy anything ascend ever again but its still a nice kayak
