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.

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 'm Ray, and I 've been kayaking recreationally for about 6 years. In my adventures I have paddled calm lakes, gentle rivers, and even some light white water. Whether you 're a seasoned paddler or a curious beginner, the Quest Endeavor Kayak is a great companion for your next kayaking adventure. While I am no giant of a man at 5 foot 8 and 175 pounds, I found the Quest Endeavor ’s multi- chine hull design to provide great stability and tracks exceptionally well. I ’ ve rented or owned multiple kayak brands and styles over the years. Typically, I have preferred a sit- on- top style kayak. However, the Quest Endeavor sit- in style has become my new favorite. It includes a mesh framed folding seat, knee pads on the left and right rim, and adjustable sliding foot braces. When paddling in cooler weather, water temperature can be felt through the plastic housing of any kayak, especially a sit- in style kayak. The mesh folding seat provided support for my back and also sat off the bottom of the kayak enough to allow me to stay dry and warm. The Quest Endeavor also provides ample storage. The rear well and bungee straps easily accommodate a cooler or tackle box. The front storage hatch was lined with a nylon bag to keep items dry and secure. There are left and right slide rails that will allow you to attach accessories, a water bottle holder in the canopy, as well as a groove with bungee to securely hold your phone. The Quest Endeavor kayak was easy to carry and load on my vehicle, weighing only 48 pounds and just under 10 feet long. Whether you 're a solo adventurer or looking to share the experience with a friend, the made in America Quest Endeavor Kayak is the perfect choice. It's affordable, easy to transport, and packed with features that will make your next kayaking trip enjoyable and memorable. Not to mention, the rich color and textured fish- scale design make the Quest Endeavor Kayak simply beautiful. Disclaimer: This review is a paid endorsement for the Quest Endeavor kayak. I received a free kayak in exchange for my honest feedback.

Got my Quest Kayak and tried it on the lake. Would say overall performance is good. Material is very durable. Still kayak is not heavy which is a big plus while loading and unloading. On the water Quest is super stable as it ’s wide and easy to maneuver. You wouldn ’ t fell out or turn over- so could safely continue your journey on the lake or even river rapids. Kayak has a compartment for your staff as well as some space on the back of it. You could put fishing rods in special place on the back and relax while fishing. So with Quest you could just enjoy your time on the water, spend time with friends or family or just go fishing. It ’s good for all of that.

I received my Quest Endeavor in a timely manner with plenty of details provided by the shipper. It arrived boxed and completely intact. This kayak is a recreational kayak that is more suited for lakes or lazy rivers. I was highly impressed with all the included features. It comes with plenty of bungee storage for your kayaking or fishing needs. The dry bag hatch storage is a nice upgrade from most kayaks in this price range. The bottle/drink holder is perfect for a nice bottle to keep you hydrated while on the water and even when leaning or rowing the bottle stayed in the curved holder. The phone bungee with molded slot is nice and allows you to see your phone while kayaking. I did put my phone in a waterproof phone case and tethered it to the bungee for safe keeping in case of a rollover. The stadium seating allows for a good view from the cockpit and to paddle unimpeded. The only downside is the not so clear place to use the seat bungees for security of the seat. I would suggest maybe 2 eye hooks attached to the side of the boat for more security. The padding on the sides for your knees is a nice touch and upgrade. I really like this feature due to having some scrape issues on my knees and legs from previous kayaks. The foot pegs are easily adjustable with a pull and push system with minimum effort. This boat is lightweight at 48 lbs. I was able to move it with ease. The carry handles are a nice length so that you are not straining or hunched over when lifting or carrying which is nice. I paddled for the first time on a windy day on a private lake. I was surprised at the ease in which I was able to paddle against the wind. The boat handled the wind well and still sliced through the water with no issue. It continue to glide for several more feet before succumbing to the prevailing winds. I took my fishing rods out and the rod holders are well placed. When casting I did not feel any tipping or unsteadiness of the kayak. I even cast behind and to the side of the boat without any feeling of tipping. I am writing this review as part of an agreement for the free ownership of the Quest Endeavor Kayak.

> I took my new kayak on its maiden voyage at the Okefenokee Swamp. I found the kayak to be very stable and comfortable. Although, I didn ’ t fish on this outing it is an ideal kayak for fishing with rod holders and track system for attaching items. It has enough space for a small cooler in the rear.

This is the 4th Lifetime Kayak I ’ ve owned. It ’s by far the most stable which is crucial for somebody such as myself who frequently has one of my young kids or my petite Labrador retriever abroad. Sometimes both at the same time. I can comfortably maneuver around to grab/move gear around while on the water. The seat is very comfortable which makes it ’s easier when paddling for long periods of time. The only thing I ’ d change is the weight of the kayak. Aside from that, I highly recommend it to anyone seriously considering it for leisurely paddling, fishing, or even hunting out of

[ The manta angler exceeded my expectations. I have owned 2 other kayaks and this is the first kayak I didn ’ t feel like was going to tip over when I am in choppy water or catch waves from bigger boats, which is important to me because I usually fish bigger bodies of water. I stood up in it and casted and felt very comfortable doing it. I like where Lifetime placed the wheels on this because it is easy to move around on solid ground and the kayak doesn ’ t want to tip over because how far apart they placed them. The Manta is surprisingly easy to paddle for how big it is and tracks very well. My favorite feature is the four rod holders on the back. I put a fishing net in one of them and put three rods in the others. I like that I can keep the rods out of my way while paddling to my spots and can easily get to them when I am ready to fish.

I had the opportunity to be chosen to receive and review the new Manta Angler from Lifetime Products. Took it out for a couple hours before we got rained out. I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of paddling and how well it tracked. I expected it to be more cumbersome with the width and shape but it performed alot better than anticipated. It even glided with decent momentum when not paddling. Same thing with turning. I did n't have a problem maneuvering it around. The stability standing up was amazing. I felt quite comfortable moving around and never felt `` tippy, '' or like I had to compensate for balance. The stand assist strap is great. I really like the front bar for an anchor and like the addition of the 2 pole holders behind the seat to make 4. I 'll probably use the extra to put my nets. The handles we 're great for loading/ unloading. The wheels underneath are nice for ease of maneuvering around while getting ready, but I would question the longevity of the plastic material and would n't rely on it too much for long- distance transport. The rear storage well did seem a little shallow upon first look, but after taking it out, I feel the stability makes up for that. It does have a ton of space and overall deckspace, which is awesome. I 'll probably add a couple of padeyes to the center of the kayak to hook stuff to. The gear tracks are made of plastic but feel solid. The front gear tracks and rod holders are a little too forward to comfortably reach on the water but could be used for different things or Gopros when banked. Same concept with the front hatch, but that's typical with front storage on all kayaks. The stability DOES allow you to crawl forward and reach them or reach them while standing. The adjustable footpeg design and being able to adjust the distance while sitting is great. The trolling motor mount I have n't installed yet( I dont own a trolling motor) is a great feature as I see a lot of people rigging their kayaks trying to figure out how to mount one.( I might actually buy one now that im getting older.) I did choose to use the paddle that came with it because, well they 're nice enough to provide one and was actually quite impressed with it. Lifetime stepped their game up with the paddle. I felt little to no flex and never felt the need to switch to the spare paddle I brought. Overall, I really like the kayak and will definitely get a lot of use out of it. I feel they definitely hit the nail on the head for what it's advertised as. A super stable fishing kayak at a great price.

I was sent free product in exchange for my honest review for the Quest Teton Kayak for Dick ’s Sporting Goods. I had the chance to test the kayak and was extremely pleased with the results. The actual removable folding seat was a huge plus as well as paddle holders on both sides of the kayak. There is ample storage on the Bow and Stern with bungee cords to fasten loads down. The little storage hatch in the center is a nice touch for keeping things dry like a phone or other small electronics. The ONLY thing I would recommend is they address, is the lack of a fastener to hold a water bottle in place. Performs very well on the water, very stable, even for someone as large as me( 6' 4 ''- 225lbs). Tracks very well and very comfortable... Great value for the price point.

I took my Quest Teton Kayak out for an initial trial after it was delivered from Dick ’s. The Quest Teton is an open kayak described as being for lakes and rivers. I took it out in Safety Harbor and Mobly Bay, which are at the very north end of Tampa Bay. The water there is shallow and very sheltered. The kayak handled superbly. I had noticed it lacks a true keel, and instead uses two indentations in the underside to create a bit of a false keel effect. It worked very well, and kept the kayak tracked correctly even in a 10- 15 kt steady wind. The included removable seat is very comfortable, and provides good back support. The seat cushion is attached to the frame by straps and buckles. The bottom of the seat only had half the straps secure, and did not come with any instructions. It took a bit of trial and error to see how they needed to connect under the frame. For reference I am 6 ’ 2 ” and about 260 lbs. The Quest Teton provided ample leg room, and sat with plenty of freeboard even in some light chop. It also was completely buoyant with me sitting in it in less than 2 feet of water. I did put scupper plugs in that I had from another kayak, due to the water being a bit cool( at least for a Floridian!), but everything else was as it was delivered. The kayak is well made, and certainly felt very sturdy. As a sit on top it was wide enough to be comfortable, and very stable, but narrow enough for me to easily dismount into some very soft sea mud flats during low tide. I really like the design on the dry storage compartment. It has a very easy to operate handle that flips up and rotates to unlock the hatch, and operates in reverse to close it. It is simple to operate with one hand. I have had other kayaks where this compartment has a lid that screws on and off. I have found that with the addition of salt, and swelling due to temperature changes those can become difficult to operate while underway in the kayak. The design featured on the Quest Teton shows experience and thought went into the dry storage design. Four built- in handles made it easy to handle with no assistance in uploading, launching, and re- loading. The model I have is set as a fishing kayak, so 2 of the supper holes are already sealed to form rod holders. That leaves 4 remaining scupper holes( 2 fore, 2 aft) if you want to plug them. Overall it proved to be a very stable, but still easy to maneuver boat, and I would highly recommend it for both the freshwater applications it lists, as well as saltwater use in protected waters.

My first impression upon seeing the Teton was how spacious it was for a 10ft kayak. The overall quality of the kayak is solid all and all. Having the molded rear well was nice to have, I was able to put a round laundry basket providing me with a lot of storage space for my tackle boxes. It also comes with 2 rod holder that is very accessible when your on the water. It only weight around 55lbs easy for me alone to load and unload in my suv roof. As I was selected to test this kayak it 100% passes all flying color in the water. I test it out in the Texas flats, even in shallow water it had no problem gliding through it. Paddling with this light kayak was so fun took little effort to glide fast through the water with the Quest Chute kayak paddle. There were a lot of boat passing through me making big wake the Teton had no problem being stable though I would n't recommend standing in it if you have poor balance. Having the track raling mount was great I was able to use my phone mount. The Teton is a great kayak for people who wants to start kayak fishing, do n't have to worry about hauling a heavy vessel and without worrying making your wallet bleed.

Quest recently sent me their new Teton kayak to try out and review. The Teton is 10' 3 '' long and 31 '' wide. It has a max capacity of 275 pounds and is designed for a single paddler. It weighs only 55 pounds. My first impression was that it was a well- made kayak. The hull had no soft spots and did not feel spongy, which I have encountered with other kayaks. It has a sleek design and features that are well thought out. Starting with the boat's bow, you find a drag handle ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand. Using the handle, I had no problem dragging the kayak through sand or mud to get it into the water. The front of the kayak has tie- down bungees that you can use to secure any gear you would need easy access to. I was very impressed with the seat. Not only is it easy to remove using built- in clasps, but it is also lightweight and very comfortable. It feels like you are paddling while sitting in a lawn chair. On either side of the chair are carry handles and paddle holders. Directly in front of the seat is a built- in waterproof hatch that is the perfect size for holding your cell phone and snacks. The footwells are comfortable and well- placed. Along the sides of the footwells, there are accessory rails, as well as one rail in the center of the footwell. These are positioned perfectly to attach any accessory you want, such as a GoPro Camera or an anchor system. Directly behind the seat are two built- in fishing rod holders. They are angled to make them easily accessible when floating. Directly behind the rod holders are more tie- down bungees and a storage area that is large enough to easily store all your fishing gear or camping equipment for an overnight paddle. There is also another carry handle in the back of the boat. This kayak glided on top of the water. It is effortless to paddle and tracks very well. It did not feel sluggish while paddling, and I could gain speed very quickly. It seemed very stable while paddling. I did not attempt to stand up while in it, but that would not be a problem. All in all, I am pleased with this kayak. It is perfect for fishing your local lakes and rivers or just having a lazy day paddling on the water. I would be comfortable taking this kayak in any calm or slow- moving body of water.

`` I must say this kayak left me feeling like this was the right kayak for me. If you 're looking for a reliable sit- on- top kayak that is comfortable, stable, and functionality, the Quest Teton Kayak should be your first choice. I 'm 6' 2 '' and weigh around 220lbs and I was nervous getting on the water with this kayak. I 've never been on a kayak and was fortunate to have Lifetime Products ask me to review it. The weight of it is n't bad either. It weighs 55lbs and I was able to carry it with ease down to the boat ramp Overall this kayak is a 10/10 for me. I launched without tipping and when I paddled back to the shore, the kayak was so stable I did n't get wet. Thanks again for the opportunity to review and test out this kayak! ''

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 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.

As a seasoned angler constantly on the lookout for the next best thing in fishing gear, I must say, I 'm thoroughly impressed with this kayak. From its thoughtful design to its impeccable performance on the water, this vessel is a game- changer for anglers of all levels. First and foremost, let's talk about versatility. Whether you 're just starting your fishing journey or you 're a seasoned pro, this kayak caters to all skill levels. Its array of built- in features, coupled with an adjustable seat for optimal comfort, makes it a dream to navigate, regardless of your experience level. I 've taken it out on a lake and creeks/rivers, and it never fails to deliver. During my testing phase, I put this kayak through its paces in some of Arizona's most challenging water bodies, including a sizable reservoir lake and a winding river. To my delight, it handled every scenario with grace and precision, solidifying its status as my go- to vessel for impromptu fishing excursions. Let's talk about stability. Despite its compact 10- foot frame, the hull design offers remarkable balance, even in the face of choppy waters and passing motorboats. I pushed its limits, navigating through light rapids and sizable wakes, all without the slightest hint of instability. And yes, I even took a dip in the cold waters to test its recovery capabilities – flawlessly executed, might I add. Weighing in at a manageable 52 pounds, this kayak is a breeze to transport. Loading and unloading from my car's roof rack is a cinch, thanks to its manageable weight. Sure, it might gather a few scratches along the way, but its durability is unparalleled, shrugging off bumps and scrapes with ease. Maneuverability is where this kayak truly shines. Turning is a breeze, almost to the point of being effortless. I found myself effortlessly positioning for the perfect cast, occasionally overshooting my target due to its responsiveness. Tracking, while commendable for its size, does require consistent power application on each side. But trust me, once you get the hang of it, you 'll be navigating like a pro. Now, let's talk about the pièce de résistance – the storage hatch. This ingenious feature ensures your gear stays put, with a built- in bag keeping essentials like pliers and scales securely in place. Even after a full day of fishing, not a drop of water found its way into the hull, a testament to its watertight design. In conclusion, this kayak is a game- changer in my world of fishing.

I 've just returned from my first trip in my new Quest Crosswater 100, and I am already impressed. I was given this kayak to review, and was excited to try it out on a local river, despite the cold weather. It tracked well, and was easy to paddle. Overall, I found it comfortable, stable, and well- designed. One of my favorite features is where they put the scupper holes. There are two located in the front of the boat, and there are channels that lead to them, so any water that gets in the boat drains down and out quickly. This is such an improvement over other sit- on- tops that I have paddled. The seat is also adjustable and comfortable. One of the clips that holds the seat strap on the side was hard to reconnect when it came unclipped, but I did get it connected and did n't have any other issues with it. I think this will be a great fishing boat, with lots of room for gear and poles. The Crosswater 100 seems to be made of a heavy duty material, and I expect it to last through many years of paddling.

This is a 10 ’ recreation kayak ideal for lakes and rivers and normal flatwater paddling. It is also a well equipped fishing kayak. First the basics from the manufacturer: Length 10 ’ 3 ” Width 31 ” Weight 51. 2 pounds Maximum capacity 275lbs As you can tell from the weight this is a very heavy duty kayak- not some cheap, thin plastic boat that will wear out fast. It has a lot of features that impressed me as they usually have to be added by the paddler later. The toggle carry handles at the front and the rear of the kayak are wide and corded to the outside, not the middle. This is way more comfortable and the plastic handle is grooved to fit your fingers. On both sides of the kayak there are luggage style handles. Not the molded ones that don ’ t really work but the flexible handled kind. Every kayak I have ever owned I have put these on myself as it is absolutely necessary if you load a kayak by yourself upside down on roof racks. Definitely a PLUS! There are six self bailing holes( scupper holes) with two under the seat. A lot of SOT kayaks don ’ t have these located there so you paddle in a puddle of water. The seat was surprisingly comfortable and the back folds down and can be removed easily if required for transport. The adjustable buckles on each side actually have a simple lock. Once you ’ re all comfortable you can lock the adjustment down- another plus. There are two paddle holders with one on each side. The rear deck has a molded indentured the size of a five gallon bucket base to help hold minnows if fishing. Most of the floor is “ diamond plate ” style non slip which I also liked. There are also corded bungees fore and aft to assist in securing items. A removable drain plug, two rear facing rod holders, water bottle groove, graduated footwells( way better than the adjustable ones that seem to always break) and brackets on both sides for those fishing extras. The dry hatch has a permanent lid that has a twist lock for extra security also. I have to say this kayak is well engineered with the kayak paddler in mind who wants to put the kayak in or on their vehicle and head out for a great day on the water! HOW DID IT HANDLE? I launched in a lake with cool temps and mixed winds. Very stable platform where I just literally sat up and in then twisted straight. A quick “ rock the boat ” back and forth and no “ stomach butterflies ”- definitely very stable! A quick readjust to get the seat right and lock the strap down and I was ready. Scupper holes looked really good considering I am 6 ’ 2 ” and 220 pounds. No real wind, so do several paddle strokes then stop- excellent tracking! I paddled a continuous mile and still took photos pretty easily. Some downfall and the kayak responded easily to avoid it. As a sit on top turning and ruddering was sufficient and maneuverability was good. I paddled out with light wind at my back and when I returned it had picked up but the kayak moved along fine even with a headwind. Exiting was very simple and it pulled out of the lake effortlessly even at 50+ pounds! Remove the seats and thanks to the side handles a simple lift and up on the car roof and the end of a great day on the lake! As a recreational kayak it is an excellent investment and the extra fishing equipment make it an extra bonus!

I recently had the pleasure of testing out the Quest Crosswater 100 Kayak, and I must say, it truly impressed me on multiple fronts. First and foremost, its lightweight design, 10 ’ long and weighing just 52 lbs, makes it incredibly easy to handle both on and off the water. Maneuvering through the lake was a breeze, thanks to its balance of agility and stability, allowing for effortless gliding and enjoyment of the surrounding scenery. Despite its compact size, this kayak offers ample storage options, ensuring you can bring along all your gear and essentials for a day on the water. The side rails are versatile, accommodating various accessories with a track mount base such as rod holders, paddle holders, camera mounts, and more. Additionally, the storage hatch kept my belongings( IE, phone, wallet, keys) dry and secure throughout my entire trip, offering peace of mind. One feature that pleasantly surprised me was the effectiveness of the paddle keepers and built- in rod holders, which allowed for easy access to my gear while keeping my hands free for paddling. The rear well fitting a 5- gallon bucket was a game- changer for storing additional gear, while the molded- in water bottle groove ensured my hydration remained secure and easily accessible. The kayak's hull design provided exceptional stability, even in choppy conditions, giving me the confidence to explore without hesitation. The self- bailing scupper holes ensured that water never pooled inside the kayak, maintaining a dry and comfortable experience throughout. Transporting the kayak was a breeze, thanks to the convenient carry handles, allowing me to easily load and unload it solo on top of my sedan. In conclusion, the 10' Sit- On- Top Kayak is a great choice for anyone seeking comfort, convenience, and reliability on the water. Its combination of lightweight design, ample storage, stability, and convenient features make it a top- notch option for kayaking enthusiasts of all levels. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable and hassle- free kayaking experience.

The Crosswater is a solid rig for getting out! She's sturdy yet lightweight enough to launch easily. The seat and the footwells are very comfortable, even after being out for a while. The water bottle groove was appreciated and should be a must here in Florida!!! Out on the water the Crowsswater handled wonderfully nimble, responsive and tracked well. adjusting the seat was a breeze out on the water, strapped the paddle up and was able to move around and adjust the back with no fear of going for a swim. The built in rod holders are easy to reach and do n't interfere with paddling. The idea of the spot for a bucket molded in is a wonderful addition. The dry hold did its job, I usually go out with my sons, and paddle battles always happen!! All in all my sons and I were all very impressed with the build, performance and value of the crosswater.

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.

The best kayak I have ever owned. I started out with an Ascend FS12T, winds and waves were an issue, not anymore. The OT PDL120 is stable and quick, I am 240lbs and 5 '' 11 male. The kayak is great and confidence on big lakes is super important for obvious safety reasons. I have had water over the bow many times and crashed through 2 foot boat wakes with ease. Thank you Old Town. I will buy another one in the future.

We purchased both the Connelly Nautic 9. 5& 11. 5 inflatable kayaks for our Spring Break road trip. Both IKs are great overall while providing good tracking and stability for us novice paddlers. With the spacious and comfortable cockpit, zippered dry hatch, and lightweight design, this tandem kayak is perfect for our adventures. The cover, HD hull, and inner cockpit bladder ensure that the kayak is durable and rigid, while the front stabilizing fin and bottom skeg provide great tracking. The kayak has supreior back support for the rear paddler, so long days were comfortable. The bow and stern handles make it easy to carry from the van. Overall, we highly recommend!

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.

The Connelly Nautic 9. 5 inflatable kayak is an outstanding product that provides good tracking and stability for us novice paddlers.

A kayak with a storage hatch provides convenient access to gear and supplies while on the water. This feature allows you to keep essential items secure and out of the way, enhancing your overall paddling experience. Additionally, it helps maintain the kayak's stability and performance by distributing weight evenly.
Kayaks with storage hatches are ideal for various activities, including fishing, touring, and recreational paddling. The added storage space allows you to bring along necessary equipment, snacks, or personal items, making them versatile for day trips or longer excursions. They are particularly useful for anglers who need to store tackle and gear.
The design of a kayak with a storage hatch can significantly impact its performance. A well-placed hatch can enhance the kayak's balance and stability, especially when loaded with gear. Additionally, the hatch design can influence the kayak's aerodynamics, making it easier to paddle efficiently through the water.
Yes, kayaks with storage hatches can be suitable for beginners, as they offer ease of use and accessibility. The added storage allows new paddlers to carry essential items without cluttering the cockpit area. However, it's important for beginners to choose a kayak that matches their skill level and comfort with handling gear.
Kayaks with storage hatches are typically constructed from durable materials such as polyethylene, fiberglass, or composite materials. Polyethylene kayaks are popular for their affordability and resistance to impacts, while fiberglass and composite options offer a lighter weight and enhanced performance. The choice of material can affect the kayak's durability, weight, and overall handling.
