The Wilderness Systems Radar 135 is an exceedingly versatile fishing kayak. It can be paddled with a traditional kayak paddle, pedaled with the new Helix PD Pedal Drive, or powered by the Helix MD Motor Drive. The SMART hull technology combines stability, maneuverability, acceleration, responsiveness and tracking for optimal performance in multiple water environments and configurations. Design elements include an upswept bow for a dry ride, a defined keel line for excellent tracking, a rockered chine for responsive steering and a flat, stable platform for standing and freedom of movement in flat to rough water. The Radar features state of the art outfitting including the SlideTrax rails, multiple storage hatches, and generous rear tankwell storage. The AirPro Max seat is as comfortable as it is functional; its quick-drying, breathable mesh fabric won't fade in the sun, the quick-adjust levers let you slide the seat fore and aft, and it can be stored vertically to open up the deck for stand up fishing.
Flex Pod OS is a fully removable pod for your fish finder, battery, cables, and transducer or it can accommodate the Helix MD motor drive
Flex Pod PD allows the use of side scan transducers or the Helix PD pedal drive
AirPro Max seat has 3 adjustable positions and can travel the majority of the length of the boat
Essential angling features such as SlideTrax rails, front paddle park, multiple hatches, and generous tankwell storage

Took her on her maiden voyage last week. I can't express how stable
this kayak is. Stand on top is more like it!
I've owned a few different paddle kayaks. I ended up getting a Ride
135, and it was the best all around fishing kayak in my opinion. I
naturally wanted the Radar 135 and I'm glad I got it. For obvious
reason it was an upgrade to the Ride 135. Similar features with
some added to improve the hull design. The helix pedal drive is
comfortable and a game changer over paddling. The low deck
design should help in windy conditions but still leaves a vast
amount of room on the deck to move around. The airport max seat
is unbeatable and overall the kayak is one of the best looking on
the market in my opinion. Definitely happy with the purchase and
ACK was helpful with all my questions as always. I don't know if I'll
ever switch from a Wildy Kayak!
Just like the Ride 135, this is the best kayak I have ever owned. Great
layout. Very sturdy and quick. The pedal drive is smooth and
comfortable. Great product

A:
Hello, yes this kayak without any drive is going to be 95 pounds, and with the drive it will weigh between 107 and 110 pounds depending on which drive system is used, with the motor drive weighing more than the pedal drive.
Q:
I'm a big guy 6-1 270. 65 years old. I like slow moving streams for fishing. I need sit on top and very stable. Is this the boat I need. Suggestions please
A:
Most kayaks at this width will have a little give to the deck. The wider the kayak, the more stable you will be, but you'll also experience a little more flex to your deck because of the width.
Q:
I have read comments from a few users that the deck on the Radar has a little give and flex to it. How sturdy is the deck? Especially compared to other units such as the ATAK and Ride?
A:
Most kayaks at this width will have a little give to the deck. The wider the kayak, the more stable you will be, but you'll also experience a little more flex to your deck because of the width. So, the ATAK and Radar are both very similar in stability, but I have found the ATAK to have a more sturdy and less flexible deck.
Q:
Can you buy a rudder for it with the hand control knob, like the one in the video? Have not seen one. Have only seen that it comes with the Helix PD.
A:
No the Helix pedal drive is sold separately here is the link to that drive: https://www.austinkayak.com/products/22477/Wilderness-Systems-Helix-PD-Pedal-Drive.html?k=Helix%20p
