    So, big question. I am actually buying a Vibe Shearwater along with the 180 drive this Saturday. If you were buying today, would you still buy this same Kayak? This is going to be my first fishing kayak, and I do love tinkering with things so the idea of changing things does not bother me. I have some other people saying I am making a mistake and should buy an Oldtowne 120 PDL since the price is about the same.

      @@CablesCodex I did, I have had it since mid April now. I have been very happy with it, I did end up getting the YakGadget pod and the hobie drive. I also got the Snipe Air rudder, YakHobby Big Swing rudder extensions, and steering handle. Really the only actual problem I had with it was that the Vibe steering handle kept coming loose. The other things I did were just performance upgrades that have made the kayak more maneuverable.

      @kayakfishingworks1304 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I made the piece that screws into the 4 mounting holes out of a piece of 1x6 pvc board (painted black), but you could also use wood and the mount itself is just the one half of the minn Kota trolling motor bracket that comes with your trolling motor. I cut the clamp off so you could just bolt it to the pvc board and use a removable pin. or bolt so you can remove the motor from the bracket easily.

      @@scottbricker5004 Works great. No issue being off center. I just use it for covering water so it is fixed straight and just use the rudder to steer. Also, I dismantled the locking attachment for the trolling motor mount so it just flips up if it hits an obstacle and can raise it completely and secure it out of the water by pulling on a rope.

    • @kayakfishingworks1304
      @kayakfishingworks1304 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great question. A lot of people swear by them so I was curious if I was really missing out. Even though I was very happy fishing tournaments with the Shearwater and wasn't really looking to change a fellow kayak club member offered me such a good deal on a PA14 that I decided to go for it. No way does it paddle as well as the Shearwater, which I still have and use when I cartop or go river fishing, but the PA is even more stable for standing, I like the rod storage a lot better, and actually use it as my tournament kayak now. Unless you find something used the Shearwater is still hard to beat though.
