Super impressed with this review! The on water videos add a lot to illustrate your points plus awesome to see you fishing with your son! Thanks so much for your support-we look forward to more videos.
@Crescent Kayaks love these boats. Will be buying one soon (CK1, or LT, or Crew). On the crew, any plans to place a latch for adding accessories? @Fin Cenzo Fishing great overview video of the crew and glad it works for the family.
@@fincenzofishing7963 was there a part where you covered the seating or much about single person operation? I did he you said it did well, but no mention of the setup or config changes?
I am really wanting to get a kayak soon for me an my kid, and this one was recommended. Your video answers most all my questions about customization for fishing! Now if I can figure out how to get one without driving hours to a dealer.
Hey great review, nice to see you've had a good experience fishing with your son, exactly what I had in mind. Waiting for delivery on mine now and have a couple little fishing buddies myself. You mentioned correct paddle length to get the most out of performance - what size paddle have you been using with the Crew? I see from another comment we are a similar height and I haven't used a kayak this size, so will be needing new paddles.
I use a fiberglass adjustable Cannon paddle. I think it starts at 250cm and goes up from there. I think I use it around the 280cm mark if I'm not mistaken. Hope that helps.
It's great! I fished anchored under a bridge with a fair amount of current in this video making a ton of casts over the course of about 5 hours. Many boats passing by. Never felt tippy. I'm 5'10" about 160 for reference. th-cam.com/video/xIJZ_g3UE0A/w-d-xo.html
You're welcome! I haven't tried it solo on the water yet and I realized after I made this video I didn't speak to that feature. I bet it would feel like the Cadillac of kayaks if you launched it solo! The only issue I imagine you might experience would be having to climb all the way to the very back if you had gear in the rear tank well.
@@fincenzofishing7963 That's good to hear. I'm hoping this thing can do both well, which is a lot to ask of any product! By the way, I had to laugh when you mentioned communication between paddlers - it's insane how hard it is for two paddlers to talk when the front paddler is basically talking into the wind; i learned that first-hand. Great thing to point out.
Right? Tandems get a bad rap I think for that reason (divorce machines) but we didn't have any trouble. There is no substitute for actually getting on the water and trying things out to see what works. We fished on this kayak around bridges and on the flats in windy conditions for like five hours and there was not a single argument! lol Yay us!

Aw man, thank you! That means a lot coming from you guys! You make a great boat. We are super happy with it. Take good care.

Be sure to subscribe as we are planning on a follow up video for the Crew with more footage on the water! Thanks!

Great review! We just got a Crescent LT. Our Crew is on order from Kayak Hub. Looking forward to getting the entire family out on the water!
Very informative video, I wished they could all be this way
This kayak is great for a solo paddler/fishing also.🤙🏼
It is! Here's another video of mine highlighting that!

Great review! Thank you!
Thanks Dan!
Another solid video. Thanks for sharing. 🐠
Thanks Travis!
Nice review!
Thanks Bob!
It looks very comfortable, I would like to use it for spearfishing, where do you buy them?
You can check their site for dealers near you...

Good stuff BUT… How does it perform on rivers? Not white water rivers but rivers. Shallow rivers & moderate rapids.
Great review. How's standing stability & casting? Thanks.

@@fincenzofishing7963 Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Have you tried out the center position solo?

Looking to get the same for me and my son
I think you will be happy with it. All the best.
Where did you purchase from?
Does the Crew come with scupper plugs?
Ours did.
@@fincenzofishing7963 thanks! Ordering mine but it’s on back order. Just getting everything in place before it gets here. Love the review.
Can you car top this?
I transport it on a set of ladder racks on my truck frequently so I don't see why not assuming you have a quality rack and strap it down correctly.
No.
