Nucanoe frontier is a beast rear scuppers definition plug lol im buying a used pursuit next week because i wanted a slimmer kayak for the rivers and for intercoastal i had a kayak buddy 2hp honda its Amazingly light
Nucanoe does recommend plugging the rear scuppers when having a transom motor as it will squat a little bit when powered. The front scuppers should be enough for drainage if needed, but like you said you're in a kayak everything is going to get wet. I am of a mind set that kayaking is a watersport so getting wet is part of the game.
@@roadtripangler I have had my pursuit for two years now and been extremely happy with it especially when I go on solo trips on rivers and need to paddle upstream for a few miles
As always - Great Video and very helpful content. How would you say this boat compares to the Jackson Take Two, in terms of stability and performance? I currently have the Take Two and fish it solo, but that thing is HEAVY and I'm thinking of swapping it our for a Pursuit since on paper, it looks to be about 30 - 40 pounds lighter (when fully rigged). I'm mostly a paddler, so I just would be curious about your opinion of the comparison between the 2 boats from a paddling and performance standpoint. Thanks in advance
Hey! I find it to be close but not as stable as the take two. Still plenty stable though. It is faster and a lot lighter! I really love how open it is and the seat is great! If you need the random boat it is hard to beat the take two but I like the Nucanoe as a solo rig better. Hope that helps!
Thanks! The main reason is that I have always liked the way the boat looked. I also knew it would be the most efficient hull shape in their line up. Being longer and a bit more narrow means it will be faster. Still has tons of space and is super easy to rig!

Nice review !
Probably the least reviewed kayak in their lineup. Always one I wanted to try.
Thanks! Yea it has been on my list for a while. I love it!!
Great paddling yak. Pretty quick in a straight line. Nucanoe footpegs are a must if you are paddling only. They make and sell them.
For sure! I didn’t know they made the foot pegs! That is great.

@@roadtripangler absolutely.. the whole Nucanoe premise is build your own boat. Lot's of options, love your video review!!
Definitely my favorite kayak to paddle.
I am really liking it!!

I bet it does good with that motor!

Exactly! It is no big deal at all and does not affect the performance of the boat.

Congrats on the job change! Why did you choose the pursuit over the unlimited?

@@roadtripangler the open deck of the NuCanoes are super unique and interesting. The closest thing to your old company would be that YuPik
For sure!
Cool
Thanks!
