Very entertaining and informative!

Hi Aliex i enjoy all the reviews you do about kayaks . I want one, but i have never been on one! I am terrified of the thought of flipping one where i fish in a big lake. I have a bass hunter 2 men boat that is powered by a 45 lb trolling motor I feel very safe with it. it stays afloat even when it gets feel with water. Is a hustle getting it all together...So i would love to have a stable easy carry kayak in the back of my truck. I just dont know which one i want.I enjoy fishing when i get off work. I dont carry my small boat with me. What do you recomend?

That’s a nice boat

I know this is an older video, but which kayak between this and the Old Town Sportsman PDL 120 do you recommend? I'm leaning heavily towards the Old Town. Thank you.

Lindo caiaque. Lindo local e belo equipamentos. Abraço

Between the 3 Waters Big Fish 108 and Native Titan Propel 13.5, which craft do we feel offers greater overall stability? And which one has more depth in the cockpit area?

This or hobie pro angler pro 12 which one is more stable?? Which one is more easier to paddle and pedal?? I really love your vids. Keep up the great work.

I'm debating the Big fish 108 and the Pelican 130 hydrive, thoughts?

I love mine! Have the same color and so far really love this Big Fish 108. It has a lot better steering than my Titan. I buy those $6 cushions from the kitchen department at Walmart and put three of them on the seat of my Yaks. Then you can kick back like a Sultan and stay out there for hours. More comfortable than my living room recliner.

@@bobseaver7807 I have had a manta ray pedal drive and its definitely a nice yak good for everything from rivers to offshore and its a super quiet kayak the two biggest downsides for me. 1. Even when packing really light their is no room for anything at all especially when you have the drive stored into the up position. 2.the rudder and rudder controls now mine may have been a defect but the rudder cables kept falling off and most people upgarde to a aftermarket system to replace the stock rudder cables anyways and the stock rudder that comes with the boat is to small so you may want to upgrade to a boondox rudder and it helps so much it will turn on a dime with the boondox upgrade.Last thing I will say is traded mine back for a jackson crusie fd and I love the manta ray but this jackson kayak is really amazing , its just my opinion but it could be worth it to look up the jackson kayak cruise fd if you like the manta ray but it also depends and what waters you're yaking in to find the right kayak to fit.Good luck
