Big boys, this is your kayak. I am a 300lb fat man, and I am fishing in this kayak without scupper plugs and the deck stays dry. They are not kidding about the weight capacity. You also couldn't ask for a more stable platform from which to fish. It is dock-steady while seated, and I can stand in it with enough confidence to set hooks on top-water frogs. Where speed is concerned, it is a fishing kayak, you're not going to win any races. That said, it doesn't paddle like a barge, either. I can get to where I want to fish at a reasonable pace and have not been tempted to put a trolling motor on it. It is the ideal platform for getting a big man into skinny water. I love this boat.
Great kayak for the price! I’m a big guy (6’5 300lbs) and have had no issues at all even when loaded down with gear. This is a decently heavy kayak but I still load and unload on top of my suburban solo. The only thing I would list as a negative is the tracking and even then it’s not bad.
This new kayak has done nothing but impress! I’ve had it for a few months now, and each time I take it out, it continues to outperform others.
Super stable, even when I’m standing up and sight casting (and I’m 6’6” at 275 pounds). Holds all of my gear with ease, to include: two tackle boxes under the seat, tackle bag, two drinks, anchor, large battery, three rods (in factory rod holders), paddle, large cooler and doesn’t even get close to the weight limit.
Tracks well, but not as good as it could be with the optional rudder. But that’s a fair trade off for the stability and capacity.
If you’d like to see how I’ve already custom mounted a trolling motor on mine, check out my Instagram site @ Bog.Bobs.Foods
Solid rotomolded boat for the price point with a few quirks that is to be expected with a new model. Keep in mind this is jmho- Standability is 9/10, Paddling is 8/10, Tracking is 7/10 (Still waiting on the rudder to come in stock) Seat is 9/10, Speed is 7/10, with Overal Fishability 8/10. It has great Mountability on the flat gunwale. The storage hatch is water tight, and fit my 7'2'' Speed Demon Casting pole. The deck is nice, and roomy which is a huge plus. Now for some quirks. It is a little front heavy in, and out of the water especially when standing. The left side of mine had Two minor scratches I guess coming from shipping .It also Has a few sharp points along the Chine. They pre drilled holes for the Yakattack anchor trolley HD which was handy except where lever lok mounts ( had extra thick plastic in that spot making a teeter totter action on the backing plate ). Overall Iit's still a hard yak to beat at this price point.
This is an amazing kayak for the price. I've fished lakes, ponds and saltwater with it since I received it from ACK. Tracking is not the best and a rudder is in my future, but the 120 is very stable and a pleasure to fish from. It sits up high and the wind pushes on it though. The kayak handles chop well. Virtually no water comes up through the scuppers even when loaded with another 100 lbs. of gear. I have not seen any water at all inside the hull which means it seals up good. The seat is very comfortable and breathable. I store all my rods inside the hull through the hatch during transporting. It has 3 rod holders with one to the front right which I'm so happy is there. I use it while handling fish and when changing lures. On a recommendation I got a 250cm Bending Branches Angler Ace paddle when I got my kayak from ACK, but I think I would have been happier with the 260cm (I'm 5'10", 230lbs and use the high seat position). On the whole I'm very pleased with the kayak and recommend it to anyone looking for a good stable fishing kayak.
A:
No, it will not. There are only three Topwater models: The 106, 120, and PDL. The 106 and 120 models do not even have a center console for mounting a pedal drive, so even if you purchased a pedal drive separately, it could not be installed.
These two models are for paddling only; they also do not have a rudder. The PDL is the only Topwater model that has, and can use, a pedal drive system. The PDL model has a very similar hull design to the 106, but is actually slightly different (wider) to accommodate the PDL console. Old Town likely chose not to make the Topwater 106 and 120 models with a center consoles and upgradable to pedal drive due to their price point, and likely skipped making a 12' Topwater PDL to avoid encroaching on their Predator series of kayaks.
