| Review: | I use my ultimate propel very often and while I am happy with how the boat performs and would recommend this boat, I do have some serious concerns with the quality. I compared this boat to the Hobie mirage with the flippers and I must say that the propel on this boat is far less work, enables you to go a little faster and being able to go in reverse is priceless. I take two medium sized dogs out on the water with me in my ultimate 12 (one in front, one in rear) and so this boat serves my needs much better than the Hobie. I would also rather be on this boat in alligator or exotic snake infested waters than a sit on top. So the design is great. But the materials used seem cheap and some areas they took shortcuts. The key ring wires securing the rudder cable pins for instance. That's something MacGyver would use in a pinch but not on boat this expensive. On my very first use, the bottom of the hull got scratched so severely that it looks like it's been used for years. Do not even drag this boat a little bit on concrete ramps or truck beds. Carry it or it will get deep gouges in it. The propeller seems like it is made by Fisher Price. The buckle that latches on to the propel drive broke on first or second use and since there are no dealers near me I am stuck with it. I wish they would have used the same thicker textured plastics that hobie uses and not cut corners. A paddle grip should be standard too for this kind of money. I've had some issues with the rudder and rudder cable. Native agreed to send replacement cable but never did. I wouldn't recommend using this boat in 2'+ waters or lakes with lots of boat traffic and wakes. Especially without a spray guard. Some say they use this for ocean kayaking but I don't see how. If it fills with water, you're going down. I love the propel drive. Hardly ever use the paddle except when coming into shore after lifting the prop. You can go pretty fast but I have been overtaken by paddlers in the river so don't assume you're going to win any races! I would recommend this boat but wish they would have used better materials. If quality and durability matters most to you or if you want to use in rougher waters or ocean, I'd look at the Hobies instead. | ||||

| Review: | I demo'd an Ultimate 12 Propel today. The dealer made the mistake of sending me to a local lake that has a lot of weed buildup in it. When running into weeds, the propeller just stops cold and the front clamp on the drive releases. After 1/2 hour of stopping and pulling weeds off the prop, I concluded that this drive system isn't suitable for any weed infested areas. I've never tried a Hobie Mirage drive in weeds but it seems like it should work better. | ||||

| Review: | Love my Propel 12. I use it for bass and crappie fishing. Especially like being able to go in reverse to keep off the bank or fish cover. So easy to keep pedaling while your fishing or snacking between fishing holes. Easy to pedal even on very windy days and cover lots of water. I'm 6'1" 205 very comfy very stable lots of storage added 3 rod holders to mine. | ||||
