Great kayak I enjoy fishing now since I have a pedal kayak .
The order got to me really quick between order and delivery (ordered on the 24th, delivered on the 31st).
Haven’t had a chance to take the kayak out yet, but it’s got everything i need and then some. Lots of storage. I intend to take this kayak camping and I have full confidence in it being able to carry both my fishing and camping gear.
One thing worth noting is that mine came with a third flush-mounted rod holder when there wasn’t one in the pictures. Not that I’m complaining though, since I was planning on installing one myself. Just a nice welcome surprise.
I’m thoroughly enjoying this kayak. No ‘buyers remorse’ at all. I made a seat for the back & have taken some of the grandkids out fishing on it too. It has plenty of room, is very stable and moves very well under pedal or paddle power. Cons - the color isn’t as vibrant as it looked online, the seat could be more comfortable & I had a problem with a rudder cable coming off while out on the lake. Old Town customer service assisted me with ideas to fix though. Overall, very happy with the kayak.
Have yet to receive this product. Claimed it would be delivered sooner than it was. For 2k, I expected it in a timely manner. Now scheduled for over 30 days past when it was ordered. If I had know up front, I would have ordered through someone else in a heartbeat.
This is not good business and if it takes this long for all shipments, will be the last time we ordered through here.
The kayak itself is everything I expected. It was missing one of the OldTown logo caps on the seat adjustment nob and was bummed that I would of received the Hummingbird fish finder if I purchased the kayak two days later. But very pleased with the kayak.
Great kayak - easy to stand on, easy to turn, awesome hands free fishing! Cup holder is great for larger water bottles and I love the notches to place rods on the bow. Seat could us some lumbar support. Shipping and packaging was not so good. Took 3 weeks for the PDL to arrive and it arrived damaged. The shipper did not call me prior to drop off like they stated they would, they just left the kayak on the driveway. The kayak was not wraped in cardboard, just plastic. The plastic was torn so the keel was all scratched up from being dragged around during shipping and the bottom had lots of scratches. The PDL had a gouge on the side from something being dropped on it? Sent Austin Kayak pictures of the damage and asked about havimg a new kayak sent - they said they would send out a new one, but it might arrive damaged as well... Not exactly a good response so I opted to just keep the damaged PDL I just received out of fear the next one would arrive in worse condition. It seems they know the shipper has issues but Austin Kayak does not care. You may get a perfectly fine kayak or you may get a damaged one... It was not a great experience to pay for a brand new kayak and recieve one that looks used and basically have Austin Kayak customer service shurg at me when I reported the damage.
I'm a first time kayak user. It is very stable, easy to pedal and the rudder made turning simple, even when your drifting with a slight breeze. Unfortunately there's no guarantee for catching fish. LOL
Also Scotty mounts work perfectly in the rails that come with this kayak.
I just received my OldTown TopWater PDL and it was packaged very well no rips or punctures in packages unpacked the kayak no damages this is an awesome kayak I can't wait to get it in the water
A:
The fish finder does not need to be purchased separately as it is free of charge, although it is needed for you to submit the mail in rebate form and cover the shipping from old town to your home for the fish finder, and that cost is $9.95.
A:
I got an email from ACK that Topwater PDL models will be shipped around the middle of September and the time period for the fish finder rebate will be extended. I would guess the extension may be thru October. You can check with ACK for the latest since it seems to be a little bit of a fluid schedule due to high demand for the Topwater models.
A:
Yes. But it is part of the pre order promotion for the kayak. But you need to submit the mail in rebate form and cover the shipping from old town to your home for the fish finder. The cost is $9.95.
Q:
Does the pedaling system have forward and reverse ability. Also if you want to paddle instead of pedaling, can the pedaling system be removed and is there a plug for where the pedals are supposed to go?? Thank you!!
A:
The pedal system has forward and reverse, which is very nice to stay in one spot for a short time without dropping an anchor and for getting in and out of tight spots. The pedal system is quick and easy to remove and install by hand. At this time, Old Town does not make a cover or plate for the opening where the PDL goes thru the hull. The yak can still be used with the opening, since this is a DOT with scuppers. If enough Topwater PDLs are sold, Old Town will maybe offer a plug or cover for the PDL opening. There are hold-down brackets so you could possibly make your own cover with some plexiglass or other material by cutting to dimensions needed and adding a gasket.
I'm in the process of CADing something for precisely this matter / to manufacture either via 3D print or injection / Urethane molding dep. on interests received ... to be built as straight floor plate and / or in various dry hatch storage capacities with potentially finder mounts etc. Email dan.toolman@gmail.com to express interests

The Topwater PDL does have forward and reverse ability however if you are wanting to remove the PDL system, sadly there isn't anything that has been made yet that can be placed in the space if you want to take it out.
A:
As long as there is no issues with the shipment, and Old Town hasn't pushed back the release date, we should be receiving these in to our warehouse in the next 1-2 weeks. Then we will be able to ship them out!
A:
I reached out to old town directly on this question and they stated they don't plan on producing a plastic blank for where the PDL goes because the one they made for the predator PDL didn't sell well enough and it wouldn't make sense for them to do it for this one. You can contact them directly on their website if you want to double check yourself. They're usually very quick to respond to questions.
