Yes Aliex, you are competing with other's. But, i watched someones review, of a new kayak. Everything was positive, as he's on the grass in a yard Lol. You're the only one i see actually getting wet, on the water, in the boat. With the pdl's different motors, and paddling.That's what sells or improves, all the kayaks we fish from. Love the reviews bro. 😎 🎣 👍
I have a big fish 120 with a bixpy j2 pod mount and love it, I'm 240 lbs and 53 years old and I stand up in it and have only kayak fished for 2 years, but any of these pontoon style yaks are going to be really good for stability, but my next yak is going to be the sportsmen autopilot 120, the customer service is remarkably good and is made in the USA and the yak has a lifetime hull warranty, so hands down I would prefer the oldtown 120 over the vanhunk any day, but that's just my opinion
Good Job! I got mine this week, I have the Hobbie drive as well , and I am working on rigging it up this weekend . I can already tell you this, for those who love to fish , they are going to love the layout of this Kayak, everything at hands reach , and the tackle tray under the seat is just sweet :)
We’re you able to get the hobie drive to fully lock in place ? For all the pushing / shaking / wiggling I do I can’t for the life of me get it to fully lockdown. The tabs go about half way over the bolts. Any advice would be appreciated !
@@ryansmith3865 , not 100% , I am going to see if file down the finn drive brackets some , if that will do it , its so close but not quite 100% stays in place for the most part but I do take it easy with it , not going like a mad man
@@zacharystanton4932 , Dont know but combine this but with the Hobie 180 Drive , which I did and it is a very good fishing Kayak, the layout is well thought out ... for example being able to have your fish Finder front and center vs one side or the other is good , no worries when fighting a fish... the tray under sit so everything you need is in reach... the number of Rod holders ... for the money it is very good , Warrenty is very good as well, and Customer Service stands up it
Hey Alex, just bought my Elite Pro Angler 13 yesterday for my birthday. This is a great review and makes me more confident in my purchase. Which I had seen this video sooner and I would’ve given you a shoutout. Nonetheless, keep up the good content.
I remember telling you about Vanhunks a while ago! Next time you are out here let me know. I would love to go their with you!! This October you need to come out and fish!!! Redfish is going to be incredible
Wait a minute, at 5:00 you said you are going to hit the reverse. I was told that the Vanhunks fin drive system doesn't have reverse. So, now I'm wondering what's up. I think if it could take a newer Hobie drive, I'd be sold... as I'd love kick up fins as well as reverse.
@@AliexFolgueira yes, but I had been informed the only drive it accepted is the original non reversible drive. I'm happy to see I was misinformed. Thanks!
Red-bull comes in sugar free as well. Get some vitamin B complex before you flatten your adrenals. The secondary stability is very good. When you get to the end of the secondary it goes over fast.
If I can do a suggestion bring a cheap fishing rod with you and see how it cast when you are sideways standing up or facing backwards 🤙. I still dream of one day having a super stable platform for fishing that will allow me to cast 360 degree and be super portable 🙏🤞
Another good video!!! Question though. Old Town Sportsman PDL120 at $2500 or the Vanhunks Elite Angler with fin drive for $2044 with the option to add a motor for less than $500?
Hey Alex! How were you able to get the hobie drive to fully lock in the drive box?? I took mine on its maiden voyage today and I could not get that hobie mirage 180 turbo to fully seat. The mechanisms that lock it in would only go halfway so if i tried to aggressively pedal it would come unseated from drive box.
Hi Aliex, what are some of the reasons you don't suggest using the propeller drive for this kayak, or have you changed your stance on the prop drive since making this video? I am just curious since I have been looking to potentially get a elite pro angler 13 with the prop drive and heard you say towards the end of the video that you wouldn't recommend it as of that time.
Propel drives are better to fish off thank fin drive because of instant reverse, now the prop drive on this boat doesn't work, sorry watch what happened when I tried it th-cam.com/video/N_XxkFIjArw/w-d-xo.html I tried to test it again with the Bungies and such and didn't work
Off topic but... I know it sounds strange, but find a good Dermatologist and they will prescribe ultra-low dose pills of minoxidil, which is extremely effective for growing back hair (way more effective than the topical lotion and very safe). You do not need a transplant.
I'd like to know that too... I was planning on buying the OT 120 PDL Sportsman until I saw this video, lol. I also wonder if any Hobie drive would fit.
Awesome flip video bro Bald is the way to go keep rocking it keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇿🇦🇿🇦✌️ Go Pro could you please sponser aliex with some cameras he will have great reviews on them 😉

Should we cut a yak in half?

I’d be doing the same but my wife would kill me if I spent $5,000 on that glorious autopilot sportsman

Congrats Jay! I hope you enjoy your birthday and new kayak 🎉
Dude! gotta question for you. how was the comparison between the HOBIE drive to the Vanhunk drive?
I remember telling you about Vanhunks a while ago! Next time you are out here let me know. I would love to go their with you!! This October you need to come out and fish!!! Redfish is going to be incredible
We gotta fish together brother let's do it for real
What is the most stable kayak you have used to stand and fish under 3000?
Wait a minute, at 5:00 you said you are going to hit the reverse. I was told that the Vanhunks fin drive system doesn't have reverse. So, now I'm wondering what's up. I think if it could take a newer Hobie drive, I'd be sold... as I'd love kick up fins as well as reverse.
This is a Hobie drive
@@AliexFolgueira yes, but I had been informed the only drive it accepted is the original non reversible drive. I'm happy to see I was misinformed. Thanks!
@@slc12312 gotta weggly it in a bit

I was actually thinking about that I have a spin fisher vi I can take
Another good video!!!
Question though. Old Town Sportsman PDL120 at $2500 or the Vanhunks Elite Angler with fin drive for $2044 with the option to add a motor for less than $500?
The elite is a bigger boat so it depends on what you want, they are both super stable, I remember old days of the sportsman's being $2200
What about all the gear rail attachments! Are the easy to set up ? Awesome test 🤘🏼😎
What’s the width on that kayak?
Hey Alex! How were you able to get the hobie drive to fully lock in the drive box?? I took mine on its maiden voyage today and I could not get that hobie mirage 180 turbo to fully seat. The mechanisms that lock it in would only go halfway so if i tried to aggressively pedal it would come unseated from drive box.
I'll put my vanhunks SHAD against any kayak on the market as far as stability goes...
What about the 3 water kayak?
Awesome video man!! Nice kayak and nice spot!! I also enjoy making fishing videos and really enjoy your content!! Keep it up!! 🤝🤝
Love these flip videos 😁🤙
Thank you 😊

I tried to test it again with the Bungies and such and didn't work
Just wondering why did not use the ramp there ? Is it easier in that spot ? Keep them videos coming
Missing my ctug the ramp is as bad lol
Would you recommend this kayak to a bigger guy?
it is a big boat, very stable for me at 200 pounds, if you are over 350, i would recommed you just get a small boat.
After that first flip, I thought the side of the kayak was going to smack you on the head for a second. That looks like it would hurt!
Off topic but... I know it sounds strange, but find a good Dermatologist and they will prescribe ultra-low dose pills of minoxidil, which is extremely effective for growing back hair (way more effective than the topical lotion and very safe). You do not need a transplant.
Umm I may have to look into that
Me to
Dude. You don’t need the hair anyway. It’s not aerodynamic. You look fantastic, mang. Keep rockin’.
@@thomashoy5484 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Thomas
@@thomashoy5484 Have to agree!!!
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Awesome stuff dude
Finally got my flip fix lol
Which kayak has been the hardest to flip that you have had the opportunity to try?
He flipped my Native Titan! Lol I bet that was his toughest.
The unlimited was hard to flip I think for its size the Bonafide ss127 is probably the most stable of them all, the bug fish 108 was super stable too
Is this as stable as an old town pdl120? Have you used a feel free lure? I’m trying to narrow it down a bit. Thanks!
I'd like to know that too... I was planning on buying the OT 120 PDL Sportsman until I saw this video, lol. I also wonder if any Hobie drive would fit.
Awesome flip video bro
Bald is the way to go keep rocking it keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇿🇦🇿🇦✌️
Go Pro could you please sponser aliex with some cameras he will have great reviews on them 😉
i have given gopro a lot of free advertising haha
@@AliexFolgueira lol now they need to make you an official test an see how to better it for the kayak users ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Mantap bossku 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
Thanks 😀
@@AliexFolgueira 🤝🤗
Do you do give aways of these kayaks? 😭, I cannot afford a kayak, help a youth pastor out haha
i can't afford to give them again, some videos barely make enough to cover the cost of making them
How disastrous doesn't seem to be a very stable kayak😢
I have one, it is a very stable kayak.
I watched it a second time to help with the algorithm
That's awesome brother thank you
Screw that. Rock the bald.
That's right! Be proud of your bald head!
There’s a limit but, it will flip
Ohh yeah
lol im 55 and i can donate all the hair you want
Hey Aliex, don't worry. Hair is overrated.
Thanks 😊
catch pwr 100 is better...
Hey I'm getting a vanhhnks pro angler from f eco fishing on my way to Alabama. I will try to get you your commissions
Thanks James 😀
