I received this beautiful Quest kayak from# DicksSportingGoods so that I could check it out and review it for y'all. This kayak is 10 ft and weighs right at 47 lb. It came in a versatile Orchid color. I really liked how dark the grays and purples are, alongside the vibrant pinks. The first thing I noticed about this boat is how light it was. You can just pick it right up on your shoulder and there are padded handles( actually knee pads which makes this doubly wonderful) so you could carry it with no issue. As it's weighted evenly, it balances well; it feels like it weighs practically nothing. I could walk a mile with this boat on my shoulder. After I cut the plastic off, I took some pictures and noticed that I needed to remove film from the decal of the word Outlands. Be careful when you pull it off and do pull at an angle, so you wo n't pull any of the letter edges up with you. The letter' L' is very thin and if you go straight at it, it 'll peel up, too. You can see from the picture, I had the film at an angle and I had no more problems. I had to look longingly at the boat for almost a week in my yard because it was so cold out and I just could not get my old self out onto the water. But eventually this 69° day came around and I headed out to play. I easily loaded it up and secured it with a cable through a scupper hole and took off. On the way I stopped to gas up and the girls beside me were quick to let me know they wished I had another boat, so they could come too. That feels good, guys. When I finally got on the water I could n't help noticing how easily the boat handled; there's a definite improvement over my sit- on- top and I had no trouble cutting against the wind. The Quest Outlands has a padded backrest and I was actually able to adjust it for comfort. Being able to change that up was the best. It was a simple addition but it matters bc it can change pressure points after a few hours on a lazy river. I 've never had a functional dry well and it was a real game- changer; I felt safer with all my electronics being in there. I did not go fishing so I did n't use the rod holders nor the rear well. There are knee pads in addition to a ton of knee room to spread out in and I did n't get that claustrophobic feeling that comes after being in one too long. The foot wells are perfectly situated to be out of your way when you do n't need to use them. They did not bother me at all. I have longer legs and I had plenty of room to stretch out. When I got back to the bank, I did n't have to fight with it to get the water out because there's a drain plug which is just extra convenient and makes it easy to load. Overall, I love this boat and I 'd absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting an upgraded kayak at a bargain price point. I named her Rhoda.

I 'm very much a novice when it comes to kayaking, so I was sure to stay on flat water. Favorite features: Handles easily in water Paddles are sturdy Love that it has a dry storage area( thought it was a fish holding spot at first) Big back area to store dry bag and other larger items Concerns: It's heavy for me so if going out by myself, I will have to figure out a method to haul it on my own. Husband carted it for me..

Highly impressed with the Quest Outlander kayak! The ample leg space ensures comfort during long paddling sessions, and the smooth paddling experience makes every journey enjoyable. The built- in dry storage keeps belongings safe and secure, while the convenient fishing pole holders make angling hassle- free. Plus, the seat is incredibly comfortable, allowing for extended adventures on the water. A top- notch kayak for both leisure and fishing enthusiasts!

I had the opportunity to take my Quest Outlands 100 Kayak from Dick's Sporting Goods out today for a little fishing trip. Getting into the kayak and onto the water was extremely easy for me, thanks to a dedicated kayak launch that I used at a local park. I 've never used a sit- in kayak before, so I assumed that it would not be too stable... but I was pleasantly surprised that I was wrong, and it was probably the most stable kayak that I 've ever used while in the sitting position. There is a nice bucket holder in the back, which allowed a place for my smaller 3 gallon bait bucket. It was just at the right height to turn in my seat and get a live shrimp out to bait my hook. Even though it was overcast much of this afternoon, I still found myself getting thirsty while paddling out to the mangrove islands to fish. I noticed the well- positioned water bottle holder, which perfectly held my Yeti bottle and kept in at arms reach. I even utilized the built- in phone holder with the attached bungee to do a Facebook live video while on the water. My favorite part of the kayak was the built- in fishing rod holders. They were deep enough to store my moderately long rod handles, and easy to turn in my seat to get. The only design change that I would have liked to see would be the direction the rods point while in the holders. They should go straight back, instead of to the left& right of the kayak. I only mention this because I had to wait until I was off of the kayak launch dock to put them into their holders, so they did n't hit anything going out or coming in. The plastic on the built- in side rails( above the knee pads) had a little flex in them after attaching a third rod holder to it, but was sufficient for a place to hold my rod while taking the fish off of the hook. The paddle holder on the side was the nice touch, and I found myself sliding the tip of the paddle under the front bungee cords to hold it in place while I cast my fishing pole. Overall, I really like this little kayak and look forward to going on more trips around our Intracoastal waterways with it.

The Quest Outlands 10 ’ sit- in kayak is a great boat at a very reasonable price. It ’s versatile enough to serve as a lake paddler, mild river runner, or fishing vessel. Pros:- Tracks well in flat water. Does not tend to turn when paddling as some other kayaks will- Large waterproof hatch storage lets you carry a multitude of items without worrying about them getting wet or falling off the boat- Two fishing rod holders come standard, pre installed in the boat- A gear trac rail is installed on the starboard side. These are great for attaching a variety of items such as a fish finder, cup holder, additional fishing pole holders, etc.- A paddle keep comes pre installed on the port side- Phone holder for when you don ’ t want it locked away in storage- Stern and bow have deck storage secured by bungees. Additionally, the stern has a pre- molded spot perfect for keeping a 5 gallon bucket which can come in handy while fishing. The recessed stern storage area also has two scupper holes to allow excess water to drain from it.- Bow& stern handles pre installed for ease of transport Cons:- 275lb max weight limit may not be sufficient for all paddlers. You ’ ll want to keep your weight and all that of your gear at or under 220 for the best experience in this kayak- The cup holder is horizontal, so it will work for closed lid beverages, but not open top ones. The good news is you can always add a cup holder onto the side gear rail system

Covid has been a mixed blessing for us, and probably Old Town as well. In our case, with all the lockdowns going on, we and many more have turned to more outdoor sports. As someone who grew up fishing, kayaks quickly got my interest as the best option to get on the water. Thanks to YouTube I quickly discovered pedal kayaking after many hours, combined with the fact that I 'm a Mainer, Old Town rose to the top of the list. I 'm 68 so I wanted the smallest and easiest to move and haul around, so the 106 was a no- brainer. The bad part of Covid was that even in Maine these boats are hard to come by. I wanted 2 of the Photic Sportsman PDLs, but in the end could only find 1, plus the older identical boat, the Boreal Topwater. There's not much difference, except the new Sportsman seat is great for a large guy like me rather than the older Topwater seat. Ice went out on my small trout pond 2 weeks ago, and I 've been out every nice day so far, ca n't wait to get on a bigger lake! These boats are so stable, ca n't wait to try standing and casting!

I bought mine about three weeks ago and have been out in it a lot and i absolutely love it. It is the sturdiest kayak I ’ ve ever been in! The PDL drive is easy to pedal and it moves pretty quick too.

I bought this 3 weeks ago but the cold weather and water in New England kept me off the water until today. What a pleasure. My last kayak was a good one. It was a 13 fooot LLBean rebranded Perception sit in kayak with a better than average seat and two rod holders. It was a good kayak but for fishing it lacked. Plenty stable for kayaking but don ’ t reach too far for that 2. 5 lb bass. Don ’ t ask mee how I know.. I am 6 ’ 3 ” ”, 240 lbs( yes my doc doesn ’ t like that) and 66 years old. I found the Sportsman 106 PDL to my a dream. Much easier to in and out of, I can move around and really enjoyed the 3 hours I was out on a lake today. The pedals gave me a good work out. I loved the instant forward/reverse which allowed me to effortlessly hold the kayak in position while a I fished. There was slight breeze which didn ’ t seem to affect the handling. I will report later on a windier day. There was a bass tournament on the lake today and unlike my last kayak, this one handles the wakes from the 200 hp boats wit aplomb whether the wake hit the stern, bow or sides. Just makes me feel a whole lot more confident. As for stability, I stepped off the dock into the kayak and sat down. I was amazed. I did not try stand up as as one gets older ones stability on terrafirma is not as good as it used to be). I enjoyed this day of fishing( although I wish I good brag about the fish I caught) more than any day in a kayak. I was comfortable and could easily move about the boat. That PDL system is awesome. I did paddle through shallow water with PDL raise and yes you get some water in the boat but it goes out the scuttles. The two tool wells in the cockpit area are a small thing but make a bid difference. It was great to have the hook remover, fisherman ’s tool, line cutter etc close at hand. Small thing but great idea. Awesome boat Old Town. Thank you I hope to get years of pleasure out of this.

I am a 78 yr old who recently purchased his first kayak, the Sportsman 106 PDL. I was looking for a kayak to primarily use for nature photography. Considering my age and this would be my first ever kayak, stability was a primary requirement. I wanted to feel comfortable and safe, especially with expensive cameras and lenses. After much online research, I narrowed to Old Town and a couple of other brands. I completed my research with phone calls to the brand customer service reps. Ken Stinson was especially patient with my questions, listened to my desires and concerns and offered honest pros and cons of the Old Town products as related to my stated need. As a result of my online research and Ken's advice, I purchased a Sportsman 106PDL. So far I have had it out four times, all in good weather and water conditions. I quickly found my sweet spot for easy continuous peddling. The kayak has amazing stability, allowing me to twist and turn with confidence to get the shot. I also stood in it my first time out and was very surprised at the stability, although I doubt I will stand while shooting. The peddling, with instant reverse allows me to keep my hands free to catch those quick shots. At 101/2 ft, it fits in the bed of my Ford Ranger pickup. My nature photography and kayaking friend has been amazed by my Sportsman PDL. So far my Sportsman 106PDL has exceeded my expectations.

This is my 4th Kayak but my 1st tandem. We purchased it so we would not have to bring so many kayaks for the family to enjoy the sport together. First time out I had my eight- year- old son in front of me and my five- year- old son behind me and I paddled from the center of the kayak. I was able to navigate with no problem with only me paddling and turning was a breeze. It tracks very straight and true. Later in the day I moved to the rear of the kayaked with the five- year- old in the middle and the eight- year- old in the very front. Even when my son in the front got tired of paddling, I was able to control the whole boat from the rear with minimal extra effort. I will be taking this on a camping trip by myself as a solo kayak because I have so much extra room for all my camping gear. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice big solo or a good tandem.

I bought one a couple months ago. My wife and I own several different kayaks. The Rambler is the most stable kayak I have ever tried. I can bring just about anything along that I want; A big cooler, big tackle box, anchor., fishing pole. I bring cushions along. Why? So I can put the seat backrest down and take a nap on this kayak! I take toddlers along and they feel very secure on the kayak. One note, I bought a role of Velcro to put on the seat surfaces so the seat does n't slide around. I just bought a second Rambler to bring my novice friends out with me.

We just happened to be walking through Dick's Sporting goods and saw this one. It is an excellent buy at$ 450. and the quality rivals our other two Ocean brand kayaks. It is very stable and tracks nicely.

I splashed the new Quest Huron 8' sit- in kayak today and I am really happy with this sharp little yak! First, it's very portable. The 8' hull and 35lb weight makes it easy to load/unload solo and it fits inside my small SUV with the seats down( see photo). The front and back handles are great for getting it to the launch site when your buddy is assisting. Next, is the design. I 'm 5' 2 '' so a benefit of this model is the higher seat design that keeps my elbows and wrists from hitting the sides while paddling, which is an issue for me with other brands. The multi- chine hull tracks really well, allowing me to keep up with stronger paddlers and I did n't really miss not having foot rests on the inside of the hull so there is plenty of room for gear and my feet. I did not experience any wave splash on this windy day because of the generous free- board sides so the hull stayed completely dry. But if you did need to drain this boat there is a fixed drain as well as a removeable plug for fast water removal. The bungees, front, back and for the paddle, are super important to me for lashing gear down. And there is a fun little elevated bottle holder to keep my phone off the bottom of the boat. Nice touch! Overall, this is more than an intro- level kayak and suits my needs of portability, stability in the water, extra features, and durability. I expect to get years of use from the Quest Huron Kayak.

I 'm 5' 5 '' and 150 lbs and I was able to easily lift this onto the top of my Honda Fit. There's no need for a kayak cart as you can carry from its side. The only issue is the sides are thinner plastic with no padding so it can be uncomfortable carrying longer distances. That issue can be easily fixed by using something with padding to grab it with. I plan on cutting up a pool noodle to use. The kayak is very maneuvable in the water. I tried it out on our local lake and it's fast and easy to paddle even into the wind. The kayak is very stable as I did have some wake from a couple of boats and it rode them out easily The higher seat position was nice. It kept my butt dry and had great back support. I was worried with a sit- in that I would be cramped but at one point I took my legs out and put them on top of the kayak to just float and relax. With someone with longer legs it probably would not be as comfortable.

I had the pleasure of taking the Quest Huron 8' sit in kayak out for the first time in an adventure today. This is a comfortable little kayak that wo n't break the bank or your back. Many kayaks are too long and heavy for me to transport given my short frame. That was not the case with the Quest Huron. It is easy to lift alone and even fit in my Jeep Patriot for a solo paddle. For me, the lightweight and small frame is the best feature of this kayak. Despite leaving out on a cold windy day; the Huron steered straight and easy for me. It has multiple storage spaces making it ideal for a lazy day trip on the river or lake. I especially enjoy the option for camera mounting and will be installing one soon! My only wish for this kayak would be more colors to choose from. It is an otherwise perfect fit for this flatwater casual kayaker. Thank you to Dicks Sporting Goods for always meeting our adventurous family with all our water sports and camping needs. I have a material connection with Dick's Sporting Goods and received free product for my unbiased opinion.

I received the Quest Huron Kayak in order to test and review it. I was impressed by the lightweight, easy to carry design. I was equally impressed by the stability of the kayak in the water in spite of its easy- to carry design. It was easy to maneuver in the water as well, due to the lightweight design. I was able to fit it in the back of my SUV, making for an easier trip to the lake rather than using the roof rack. I used a kayak cart( not included with the kayak) to make travel from the car to the water easier, and found that the handle on the front of the boat was perfect for pulling the boat while on the cart. I am 5ft 4in tall, and had plenty of room in the kayak, both getting in and out and staying seated. The seat is cushioned and adjustable for lumbar support. Overall, I would recommend the kayak for beginners and more experienced kayakers alike.

Today we tested out our new Quest Huron Kayak. I was a little leary of testing it since I am at the higher end of the suggested weight limit. It sits nicely in the water, even being on the heavier side and Is easy to get in and out of. It is made of a thinner material and I do n't think it would take alot of river rash, however with its skeg built into the body it is great on lake paddles and easy river paddles. It tracks well in the water, and is a lighter sit inside Kayak to carry to and from water. Even my kids wanted to try it out!

Brought this for my wife as a birthday gift. It actually arrived on her birthday, which was a great extra benefit( shipment delays due to Covid). She had been using a 9' 6 '' big box store, generic kayak and enjoyed it. She took her maiden voyage on her Loon 120 and absolutely loved it! Initially was going to get her the Loon 106, but fortunately when I called I spoke to a staff member who explained the the 120 is better suited for a smaller stature person such as my wife. Tracks like a dream and does not require constant correction! If you are considering the 120, go for it, you will not be disappointed!

After YEARS of saving, my dream finally came true. Words can not express the quality and craftsmanship of the Loon 120. And the new color choice for 2025 of Cinder is top notch! I am memorized over the room this watercraft offers! The workdeck is amazing, seat is beyond comfortable, and the water operation is like a floating luxury liner. This will be the last kayak I ’ ll ever need. It ’s my new best friend!

Quest Canyon Review Disclaimer: I was sent this kayak to review as a promotion, free of charge. First Thoughts: It is a striking color combination with the different blues in the hull and the neon shock cords. It looks well- built and should handle many years of use if stored and taken care of. Weight and Handling: The kayak is easy to carry with two people. It can be done with 1 person, but there are no handholds on the side of the kayak. You can carry it by the edge, but it will dig into your hand and the edge is sharp. This could be remedied with some foam in the future. At 44lbs it was easy enough to load into the back of my truck and it's lighter than other kayaks I own. On the water: The kayak is very stable, so stable you can stand up in it easily. I ’ m 6 ’ and around 215 pounds and I felt like I had plenty of room to maneuver. The footrests gave my legs plenty of options in terms of comfort level. The seat is like others that offer a fold- down backrest, but with the cutout for the seat, it felt like it gave my back more support, kind of a hybrid between a folding backrest and a molded backrest. This is a kayak for people of all abilities. My 9- year- old was able to use it all the way up to my 15 year old. This would be a perfect kayak for a beginner or an extra to have on hand for taking a friend. Amenities: This is a basic entry- level kayak, and there is nothing wrong with that. You have bungee storage in the back and a place for a 5- gallon bucket( I wish I would have had one on hand to test). You have places in the front and the back of the boat to tie down. You can also use the under- seat area for storage as well as the covered part in the front. The molded water bottle holder is easy enough to reach, it could be a little deeper or have an added piece of bungee to tie things down a bit. Summary: All in all, this is a good all- around kayak. It's comfortable and easy to use for the beginner kayaker to the experienced. This is a kayak that you can buy on the way to the river or lake and have a great day.

DISCLAIMER: I received the Quest Canyon 100 kayak free of charge in exchange for my honest opinions, beliefs and experiences. No other compensation is included, especially monetary. As always, I will recommend my review not be the only one referred to when making decisions on potential purchases, as I am one perspective amongst many. TL; DR: For the price of an average pair of headphones, this is a steal of a deal, and a robust product for many years of enjoyable experiences. As a beginner, this is a no- brainer. Also a great gift for anyone desiring to explore the great outdoors with a more relaxed approach. A portable rack kit for<$ 100 is a worthwhile investment to haul this anywhere you please without the perceived need to spend a hefty amount towards a fancy roof setup for your vehicle.

My background is in art, cardistry, and magic( tricks). Only in the last 4 years- after my 5th accident- did I start getting heavily into the outdoors lifestyle. Decades of living in- city surrounded by walls, I yearned for a little freedom and escape from the typical cycle of daily life. From open water swimming to minimal camping, I discovered the peace and healing that came with moving my body and stepping away from social protocols and long- term screen time. Only in the last six to eight months, after seeing the river littered with a variety of different kayaks( and my ever- growing desire to camp in more remote locations), has my interest in them really grown. And thanks to DSG, I finally get to begin my journey down this new adventurous path. PLASTIC: Majority of the population, irregardless of location, have heavily misguided beliefs when it comes to the word `` Plastic ''. Plastic is not just that low- quality thin clear sheet that is harmful to the planet and breaks/melts easily, or even a sign that something is `` cheap ''. Plastic in all its many forms and qualities exist in every corner of our lifestyles and daily uses. It is one of the top materials used for military- grade stuff( aside from rubber). It is in our phones, clothing, electronics, solar setups, our cars( windshields have plastic in between the glass layers to prevent them from shattering/exploding). Even Bullet- proof/resistant items have plastics in them& would n't be effective without their inclusion. High Density PolyEthylene is a preferred choice for products like kayaks for a number of reasons crucial to the creation and life- term of the vessel. HDPE is more demanding to mould than LDPE/LLDPE( Low- Density), which is what also enables it to have good scratch- resistance and impact- resistance. It is built to be tougher and withstand extreme temperatures, things like strapping to a car roof does n't cause it to melt from the heat nor be easily affected by UV rays from the sun. And in AZ, there's more than healthy amounts of hardcore sun- time to go around. Dragging this on the ground will not be as detrimental to its lifespan either as a kayak built with softer or more complicated materials. Because HDPE does n't stretch as easily, the kayak is also not slippery smooth& easier to grasp. HDPE is the most environmentally stable, giving off no harmful fumes. Furthermore, they require only a fraction of the energy needed to produce steel from iron ore. Aesthetics: I am in love with the color. Having been sent for the purposes of this review, did not have a say in what color scheme would be available. My favorite colors are blue and green. The outside is a beautiful whirlwind of 50 shades of green( and a nice lime/neon flair on the bottom), whilst the inside is a nice solid dark blue, a matte and slightly muted/toned down IKB( International Klein Blue), if you will. The kayak looks smooth to the glance, yet has subtle texture for better grip, although not so much that it feels abrasive. I 'm a tactile person, I appreciate things that not only look and function well, but also feel good to the touch. Comfort: The kayak comes equipped with a basic ergonomic padded seat, about 3mm in thickness, from neoprene- like material. It is tolerable for shorter trips, although I do oblige opting in for something more forgiving to the derriere. It is, after all, where you will be seated for the duration of the trip. Around the seating area are 4 extra holes with screws keeping them plugged, to allow for different seat types. The backrest is hard, not soft as on some other kayaks. Which of course is a great positive as a softer one is harder on the core and the constant give and movement affects the posture and back support, and in turn the overall movement of the kayak. That being said, I will be adding a gel cover to the backrest as well. I intend to ride this for hours on end as the weather gets warmer, very glad there are options to modify the kayak to a certain degree in spite of being an entry model. Moreover, the backrest is not only adjustable, it's also removable. The grey tab between the base of the backrest flips outwards, thus enabling its removal. The Canyon has graduated footwells on either side, allowing up to 5 leg adjustments. This comes with a number of drawbacks, the most obvious being the lengths are limited to what is available. The other downside is how the feet rest in these footwells. They do n't fit as well as pegs or another form of support, and the ankles are prone to turning as the legs are used for anchorage. Nevertheless, this should only be irksome to only the most nitpicky or sensitive of users. Just so happens that one of those users is me. As with the seat and backrest, the footwells can be replaced with something more custom or ergonomic, as they 're held down by two screws on either end. For anyone else in the same kayak( haha) as myself, there are workarounds without the need to blow a lump sum of money towards a fancy custom rig or giving up on the idea of kayaking altogether. Storage: Let's first get the negative out of the way. The phone groove holder. It's a tad too shallow, and there are no rubber grips or anything to keep it from falling out. I briefly attempted keeping my phone on there, only for it to unhinge almost immediately. It is, however, wide enough to accommodate most phone sizes. Personally will not ever be using it to hold any electronic devices whatsoever, not worth the risk. Not until such time do I mod it to be more secure, and attach a leash to it like I do the paddle and myself. The groove for the bottle holder is excellent. It 'll hold virtually any bottle thanks to its wide yet adequately deep curve. Mine did n't budge an inch throughout my ride. Using the wall of the phone holder as support, it is even firmer in its placement. There is a single paddle- keeper on the starboard side, with a groove for the paddle shaft so it does n't rattle about when transporting the kayak or even if just chilling in the water for an extended period. It can accomodate, should one desire, 2- 3 paddles if necessary. I have removed the blade portions and stored it elsewhere on the kayak so the paddle- keeper is only accommodating the shafts and the blades are n't sticking out as they otherwise would. The bungee is solid and firm, and easily replaceable should it lose integrity over time or needs more slack for holding down more items. There are bow and stern bungees for extra storage capabilities. In relation to the previous paragraph, I use the bow to hold the paddle blades, as they sit nice and flush( as can be, they 're curved) and out of the way when carrying. The stern bungees hold more, especially thanks to the rear well directly below them. However, the area doubles as a 5- gallon bucket holder. Meaning, if one chooses to have a bucket, then no space for storage of other items. And vice versa, if one has the space taken up by other items, no space for a 5- gallon bucket. No need to fret, there is a positive alternative I discovered which I 'll be sharing here soon enough. The inside of the kayak is almost entirely hollow and virtually void of obstacles. Initially I was confused, what is the purpose of all that space, aside from ample room for stray water to collect in? Then it struck me! Why not make use of all that emptiness and fill it with more potential for further adventure?! As an avid bushcrafter and off- gridder, and the fact that I have over 100lb of weight to muck around with( I 'm 162lb), I can store all my essentials and then some. Then kayak to a different spot, make a day or weekend of it, and head back, all in a day's work. The ability to travel further to places not accessible by feet or wheels or air at the drop of a hat is a privilege very few get to experience. Now, around a fraction of an average person's rent, practically anyone can. Handling+ Transportation: The multi- chine design is a smart choice on Quest's part for a recreational/beginner kayak to perform above and beyond what is generally expected in such an affordable& basic model. It provides better balance, stability, less of the kayak is touching the water which results in less drag and swifter turns. The front end is meant to slice through the water and waves cleaner, hence the pointier and narrower cut, whilst the back is wider and flatter to keep the kayak from wanting to flip or get out of alignment. I wanted to cover all possibilities and uses of the kayak as I intend to put this through some serious work and conditions( just comes with my lifestyle) so I tested how it

I tried Canyon Kayak from Dick ’s Sporting Goods during this weekend. It was a nice outing and I liked how Canyon performed on water and even before that. First of all, the kayak has a very comfortable handle on the back and front which makes transporting it very easy. Kayak is not heavy and quite wide. It handles waves pretty well and is super stable. Sitting area is wide as well – makes it convenient to get in and out of the kayak. I personally like that it has several positions for the feet, so you could change your posture while in the water and give your legs some rest. Canyon is made from very durable material – you could go on rapids in it without fear. And again, it ’s not only durable, but super stable, so you wouldn ’ t turn over into the water. Specially recommend Canyon Kayak for those, who just started kayaking as it gives you stability on water and comfort for your fit.

I received this Quest Canyon kayak free in return for this review. Upon first sight I fell in love with the gorgeous, vibrant color. The seat is a simple design and has a back that is adjustable for sitting straight up to a more laid back style. It was comfortable for a short trip but I can see that if I 'm going to be on the water for several hours I am going to want to add a cushion. I like the molded drink holder but feel like it needs a strap since your drink will be laying on it's side. There are no places inside to clip a caribener to secure gear in case of turning over. The rear storage area is good sized and you can secure gear in that area. The foot pegs are comfortable. The cockpit opening is large and I was able to get in and out easily. I am 5' 6 '' and weigh around 200 pounds and there was ample room for moving around inside. I could easily take a medium sized dog or child with me in the boat. I am impressed by the thickness of the plastic this kayak is made from. It is thicker than other kayaks we already own but it does seem easier to scratch. This kayak tracks well, while also being very responsive so as to avoid obstacles. I gave a little more than moderate effort to rock the boat side to side, testing stability. At one point I actually sloshed water into my boat without ever feeling like I might tip over. I think it would take a lot to turn it over. My kayak arrived with a broken handle from shipping but I contacted customer service and a replacement was sent out and was in my hands in just a few days. I would definitely purchase another Quest Canyon kayak.

This is the second boat I have purchased after buying one last year for my son. The boat is highly rated and did a lot of homework before buying. We use this to fish back bay fishing and crabbing. It's a great stable boat and you get a lot for the price point. It's also easy to load since it's only 10 feet long making it a lot lighter than larger boats.

More time to fish
I had an old aluminum canoe that had been a great fishing canoe, but at 86 pounds I could no longer handle it. The Pelican Catch Classic 100 weighs only 58 pounds and slides easily on and off my truck. Plus, I 've already caught a lot of fish. I use a seat cushion that adds about 3 inches to the chair of the kayak and puts me up a bit higher. The kayak is great for about 2- 2. 5 hours of fishing. I have n't had it out in much wind yet, but it handles pretty well.

I bought this kayak last year and could n't be happier. I took it out on a small lake and fished for about 10 hours straight( caught a nice mess of bluegill). I expected my back to get sore, but the seat is so comfortable that I had no issue. I think pedalling is also helpul, as it keeps the blood moving. I ca n't wait to take it out again this spring. There is plenty of storage space and this kayak is very stable and sturdy; I 'm 6' 4 '', 260lbs, had a full cooler and plenty of gear, and had no issue whatsoever. I 'm very happy with my purchase.

Old Town Kayaks are addictive. I started out with a Topwater 120. Then I bought my wife an Old Town Sportsman 106 PDL because she had a hard time keeping up with me as I paddled. I then had to buy myself a Sportsman 120 PDL to keep up with her. These kayaks see a lot of use from long trips around our mountain lakes we live near to hauling them to the Gulf every year for vacation. I am 6 ’ 4 and 220 lbs. and this kayak is stable for enough for me to standup and fish on. No problem with rough waters in the ocean. I have had breakers lapping over the top of the bow and the kayak never loses a step. These are the only kayaks my wife will set foot on. My next step is to add a motor to my original Old Town 120.

I took my new Quest Teton Kayak out this afternoon for the first time. The two most important characteristics I look for in a kayak are stability and tracking. This kayak felt great in both categories. I had no trouble at all fishing out of it. It seems to feel durable and made to last. I really enjoyed the bungee paddle holders on both sides. That made storing my paddle while fishing very convenient. The rod holders behind the seat are deep and felt secure. The cutout in the back to hold a 5- gallo bucket is also nice. My favorite feature might be the seat. It ’s very, very comfortable. Overall, I am very pleased with the Quest Teton Kayak so far.

AVLMtnLady
I received my Quest Teton 100 kayak last week and it has exceeded all my expectations! As a plus size woman who owns a competitor brand kayak, I was nervous about the comfort and ease of use. The adjustable seat places the paddler in a comfortable position, without restricting their movement and putting them within easy reach of allof the amenities the kayak offers. I love how quickly and easily the seat detaches to be stored out of the elements. The built- in dry storage compartment was a pleasant surprise, and the multitude of storage options will be very helpful when we go on long paddle trips on our local lake. The carry handles are very comfortable, and I especially appreciate the handles on the sides as it makes it easy for one person to move around easily. I 'm looking forward to finding accessories to use with the built- in rails. Quest did n't overlook any details when designing the Teton 100 Kayak- from the paddle keeper bungee straps, to the multi- point adjustable seat, and the built- in fishing rod holders, this kayak will appeal to paddlers of all ages and abilities. I am fortunate Dick's Sporting Goods asked me to review the Teton 100 as now my other kayak will sit in the garage collecting dust!

HI, I received the Quest Teton 100 Kayak for a free review, but let me be clear: my honesty is worth more than that. Here's my genuine take: This kayak is a deal for fishing enthusiasts! It's packed with features: comfy removable frame seat, sturdy handles, bungies for securing fishing crates or dry bags, gear tracks, even a storage hatch! All at an affordable price. I took it out on a rough weather day, rigged with two rods and my crate. I still caught fish and had a blast! The Teton handled well. Bottom line: it's a great buy for the price and pure fun. Not perfect, obviously, but it delivers. Just know its limits – stick to the weight capacity and good conditions. Happy paddling! Note: My rating is 4. 5 out of 5 but it is either 4 or 5 on the starts lol

Purchased in May 2021, I upgraded from a paddle kayak when I found my AP120. I love to fly fish and this kayak allows me to slowly troll while standing and tossing flies around. Also the ability to lock into one spot and fish without an anchor is a game changer. The peddle kayaks are nice but not an option for me because I really enjoy standing while fishing most of the time with the option to sit when desired. Kayak is very stable and I feel completely balanced while standing. I use the lead acid battery for the motor and I 'm able to fish two full days on the water sun up to sundown without having to recharge the battery. I 've taken it out approximately 25 times in 5 months now and absolutely love it! Remote is very user friendly and if you hook into a big one you can quickly turn the motor off easily with a push of a button while standing if the fish makes a run directly under your Yak. The only downside is the kayak is heavy especially with a lead acid battery, but a good kayak cart takes care of that. highly recommend.

I went back and forth between The 106 Sportsman powered by MK and the Auto Pilot. I pulled the trigger on the Auto Pilot and I am so glad that I did. Not having to fuss with an anchor anymore is a total game changer. The boat is stable, and super comfortable to be on the water for extended periods of time. There is ample storage and very well though our features every where you look. I fish in south west Florida, and it is incredible to be able to stand and sight fish Snook, and Reds on the flats while controlling the kayak from the remote!!! I would buy this kayak again no hesitation!

I have been fishing from the AutoPilot 120 for about 6 months in a variety of conditions and I am extremely pleased with capabilities of the is kayak. I have always been a bit skeptical of `` motor powered '' kayaks but the technological features of the AutoPilot intrigued me. As someone who does a lot of trolling the ability to maintain a constant troll speed in the face of wind and current is absolutely amazing. I frequently use the heading feature to `` set it and forget it '' and am able to have everything prepped by the time I get to the fishing grounds or get back to the launch. The real magic of this kayak is built into the motor which I power with a lithium 100ah battery. I 've never come close to draining the battery even with 10+ hrs on the water. Deploying and stowing the motor is easy. The deck and storage space is more than ample. The chair is very comfortable. If I had to be nit- picky my biggest complaints would be that the gear track is too far forward forcing me to use extensions on my rod holders to make them reachable when trolling and limited access to the inside of the hull.

My Old Town Autopilot 136 in gray Ghost Limited Edition arrived yesterday. Was wrapped nicely in heavy gauge plastic to protect it. After unwrapping and looking it over I found the Kayak to be of very thick and well- built materials. It is a heavy craft but the quality is amazing. Customer service was very easy to deal with and quite helpful getting me the answers I needed. Very spacious kayak and lots of room for everything I want to add. Cons- I wish they gave an option for aluminum rails to replace the plastic ones. Though the plastic ones are strong I just like heavy duty for fish finders etc. I also wish they would list the model number of the included trolling motor to make it easier for looking up spare or backup parts. Would I recommend this kayak to friends? without a doubt.

The Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 136 has truly revolutionized my fishing experience! After owning this kayak for several years, I can confidently say it ’s worth every penny. The standout feature for me is the Minn Kota trolling motor with Spot- Lock technology. Being able to anchor in place with the push of a button, regardless of wind or current, has allowed me to focus entirely on fishing instead of constantly adjusting my position. The stability of this kayak is unparalleled, giving me the confidence to stand and cast without worry. Its spacious deck and makes it a breeze to organize all my gear, while the comfortable seat ensures I can spend long days on the water without fatigue. What truly sets the Sportsman Autopilot apart is how it transforms the way I approach fishing. I can cover more water efficiently and position myself perfectly for each cast. Whether I 'm exploring new waters or revisiting my favorite spots, this kayak makes every outing more productive and enjoyable. If you 're serious about fishing and want a reliable, feature- packed kayak that will elevate your experience, the Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 136 is a game- changer. I can ’ t recommend it enough!

[ Purchased in 2021 and have enjoyed it every chance I get! Generally fish the Great Lakes, and it handles the rougher water and beach launching in the surf very well. The peddle drive makes several miles trips out on the water pretty easy, not to mention keeping your hands free from the paddle. Large rear and front wells are great for the dog/ kids to come along. I can walk it down a few blocks to the lake with a small cart with ease, so it's not too difficult to move around.

I had been considering purchasing a fishing kayak for about five years. So many choices out there! I 've had my PDL 132 for about a month, logged a fair amount of time in it and caught a lot of fish to include a few pretty big ones. Fishing and fighting fish from the seat is very comfortable and fun. Organizing all the gear I need is easy. My cast net fits behind my seat. I removed the carrying handle from a mid sized cooler and replaced it with a triple rod holder using SS screws and 5200. This fits in the generous bed behind the seat and is secured by the bungee cord system that comes with the kayak. One loop over the handle facing forward and the other over the rod holder, securing the cooler to the kayak but allowing me to easily open the lid of the cooler to put fish in. I put two rods and a landing net in those rod holders and a third rod goes in one of the other two aft facing integrated rod holders. I found the rails located forward of the seat to be unhelpful so I removed them and laced a bungee cord back and forth between the screws using SS fender washers to pin the cord down. Now, a tackle box the size of the one that comes with the kayak will easily stow on each side. I fish with one in the port side, two under the seat and use the starboard stowage for pliers, fish grabber and other items I need to get to often. A boat bag easily slips under the seat that holds other misc gear. The universal transducer mount is not universal:-), but it was easy to drill the holes in the removable plate needed to mount my Lowrance transducer. Running the wires was incredibly easy and required no hole drilling that resulted in a professional looking install that only took a few minutes. I mounted my chartplotter/FF to the removable plate located to the right of the pedals and stowed the excess data cable neatly in the space underneath. The power cable is routed under the forward hatch cover not requiring any drilling. Note: when selecting your electronics, avoid a unit with a transducer mounting system that will put the transducer below the plane of the hull or risk damaging it when you drag the craft over anything. The battery stowage bag is sized to fit a small 12V battery. I purchased a 10ah battery which fits very neatly in there, but found I needed more run time and upgraded to a larger battery placed in a stowage box which I am still problem solving for a better solution to prevent it from sliding around the forward hatch. The integrated bow carrying handle is great. I run a tie down strap through it when securing my kayak inside my truck and another strap across the middle, through the side carrying handles to finish the aft secure. This approach is incredibly fast and easy and leaves no doubt that the kayak is not going to slide out of the truck. The aft integrated handles are in the right place and make it easy to get a good purchase on the stern when carrying with another person. While on the water, I use the opening of the forward carry to hold a small anchor. I route the line through the carrying handle, under the round bar of the pedal unit and tie it off to the carrying handle on the same side. The anchor line goes in an anchor line bag stowed in the forward hatch. That anchor is used on every trip whether to dig into the beach preventing the kayak from floating away on a rising tide while I 'm walking the shore throwing the cast net for bait or holding position near a school of fish. A factory integrated anchor mounting system on the bow would be a huge plus. I can really scoot with the pedal system even against a strong current and troll for hours effortlessly, which I must say I did not expect. The rudder friction knob feels a little `` economical '' and I think there is a better system to be had. The stainless screw is slowly cutting the groove it rests in and I find that I need to remove the chips it cuts to keep the rudder control moving freely. Perhaps more of a cam type brake would be an improvement? After looking at so many other fishing kayaks over the past few years, when I saw the PDL 132, I knew why I had n't purchased a fishing kayak until now. After several trips, the differences are even more clear. I am extremely happy with my new Old Town and glad I waited for the right one to take to the dance.

I bought my BW PDL 132 in February and have used it about weekly for a couple of months. I fish tidal creeks and rivers, some open ocean, and freshwater lakes and rivers. I am very satisfied with the kayak. The pedal drive is fantastic! I have found that I anchor a lot less with it because it ’s so easy to maintain position while fishing using the pedal drive and rudder. It ’s incredibly fast and powerful. I have had no trouble bucking strong tidal currents with it. The weakest part of the kayak is the rudder system. It feels clunky and awkward as opposed to the PDL drive, which feels well designed, tight, and efficient.

Bought this boat back in August 2020. I am impressed with the quality of the materials and overall comfort. The peddle drive works and well and the instant reverse is a big plus. Accessories are easy to mount and installing a fish finder was easy. All said it is a well made boat and manufactured in the USA.

The big water is an all in one fishing experience. I was able to get in and start fishing right away. Moves smoothly through the water and with little effort I can maintain a1. 5 mph via the peddles. Generous mounting platforms and plenty of storage.

Purchased this three weeks ago, and finally got it on the water. It's easy to sit in, the seat is remarkably adjustable and comfortable. the padding is easy on the legs, and the footrests are simple to adjust. The boat itself is light enough for a 75- year old guy to heft, and lift to the top of the SUV( Wow!) The Cherry Red stands out and gets me some neat comments. Easy to paddle, and tracks pretty well, too. Thanks, Old Town.

My husband& I( age 66 and 67) are so happy that we purchased two of these kayaks. We have been told that Old Town Canoes& Kayaks are by far the best in quality, safety and performance. We are extremely happy that we listened.

[ Lovely boat, rides nice, comfortable seat and absolutely love the dashboard, highly recommend! Only negative I have is the cockpit is a bit small for me at 6' 1 230lbs but it's still comfortable and I 've heard from others the 120 model of this same kayak is better suited for taller individuals, I only got the 106 because of size contraints where it's stored for me.

Hands free fishing is amazing, but PDL drive allows me to adjust my drift line in seconds. This is my kayak of choice for drifting flats for flounder and other species when a drift is the best option.

Fast in. Fast out. This one is best described as the original PDL feel with the technology to keep you gone and see more, do more. So light weight and fast. Out of the box adventure ready. Better than an E- bike- add water.

[[ Employee of johnsonwatercraft] This kayak is a blast. The hull itself is super fast, and adding the ePDL+ technology makes it even faster! It's super nimble, easy to use, and cuts through water like nothing. I love how I can fish from this kayak and my family can use it to get exercise and adventure to new places on the water! Oh, and the battery lasts forever!

An ergonomic kayak seat is designed to provide enhanced comfort and support during long paddling sessions. These seats often feature contoured shapes that align with the body's natural posture, reducing strain on the back and hips. Additionally, they may include adjustable components to customize the fit, allowing for a more enjoyable and fatigue-free experience on the water.
When selecting an ergonomic kayak seat, consider factors such as the type of kayaking you plan to do, your body size, and personal comfort preferences. Look for seats that offer adjustable back support and cushioning, as well as materials that are durable and weather-resistant. It's also important to ensure that the seat fits well within your kayak for optimal stability and performance.
Most ergonomic kayak seats are designed to be versatile and can fit a variety of kayak types, including recreational, touring, and fishing kayaks. However, it's crucial to check the compatibility of the seat with your specific kayak model to ensure a secure fit. Some seats may come with straps or attachments that allow for easy installation and removal.
Ergonomic kayak seats are typically made from a combination of foam padding, breathable fabrics, and durable materials that can withstand exposure to water and sun. High-quality seats may feature quick-drying foam and UV-resistant covers to enhance longevity. The choice of materials can significantly impact comfort, support, and overall performance.
Yes, ergonomic kayak seats are specifically designed for comfort during long periods of use. Their supportive structures help alleviate pressure points and reduce fatigue, making them ideal for day-long paddling trips.
