yeah I hear that too about hobie developing a similar one.
good point about paddling this thing with the extra weight, It would be a challenge and not ideal, but doable if you are stranded.
on the rod holders, even on the angler editions, OK only has the flush mounts behind the seat that really aren't that useful. Rod holder placement is such an individual preference thing, they are better off just leaving it to the angler to install on their own.

I just think that if you are going to market a kayak to fishermen, you should put in rod holders. Even if it's just 2 behind the seat, at least you have a place to keep rods while you're paddling or motoring along. Having to istall a Scotty holder in front isn't such a big deal, but having to flush mount a couple gets to be a bit much when you're already paying that much for a yak. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I disagree what does the battery weigh? 30 lbs? I use my kayak for fishing and i weight it down many a time also briught back fish that weighed more than that. |

yeah that's true I guess, I mean even with the battery maybe 50lbs tops. plus the motor is so streamlined there isnt' a ton a drag to hamper paddling.
don't get me wrong, I'm all over this thing when I can afford it! |
