Appreciate you taking the time to make this video man. You convinced me to go with this yak as I’ve had the big fish 120 but found it a pain to load and unload from the top of my suv so sold it. Loved the space and stability tho. This moken is def a lot easier to transport and like you said it’s pretty stable for a 32” for sure. Keep it up the good work brotha!
Great review Mike! Definitely a great looking kayak with awesome stability. It was great meeting you at the show and can’t wait to get out together this season.
Has your kayak got a wheel .. if so, would this wheel be suitable for transporting the kayak, perhaps from a car-park to the water ... Or is it really just for beach use. ? It seems a very useful feature with the Feelfree kayaks, I’m surprised other manufacturers don’t adopt this idea.
Yes it has the wheel. The wheel has been very useful for sure. It is actually not for beach use since it does not work in sand. It works perfectly on hard surfaces. From the back of the truck to the water is exactly what it is for and I love the feature!
Palm trader sit in them both and see what fits you better. The moken has the built in wheel and great stability, but you should sit in them both to see which feels better. The seat location and the way the boat is laid out will fit you in some boats and not as efficiently in others.
Thanks for the review! Looking to finally buy my first kayak, after a trip fishing with a friend on his. I have been looking at this and the 3 waters big fish 120. Will mainly be fishing lakes, but I'm 6'1 285Lb.. so not the smallest of guys.. any other recommendations to look into?? Trying to stay around +/- $800
I really do like this kayak. I am looking to buy a fishing kayak and really don't want one longer than 12.5 feet. I am concerned about how stable it really is standing. I have been kayaking for several years but have never spent much time fishing as I have always had kayaks where you sit flat on top or slightly down inside like a Perception Pescador mainly pleasure kayaking down rivers. If I am going to be fishing from a kayak standing is a must but staying under $1000 and 12.5 feet is too. (I am 6 foot and 150lbs) Is this kayak my answer or is there a better choice?
RPTV it is a very stable kayak for sure. This one is one of the best for the price range for speed, light weight and stability. If you are looking for something a little more stable even and in the same price range, check out the big fish 120 from 3 waters kayaks. It is the same company. The big fish is wider, more stable and have even more room. But it is a little heavier and not as fast. It’s all about trade offs. :)
@@TheBassquatchHunter Thanks for reply. I have looked at the Big Fish 120 and it just seems like a tank. Seems if the Moken was just 1/2 to 1" wider it would be the sweet spot. :)
RPTV I agree. The feelfree lure 11.5 is the perfect mix and more, but then you are in the 1100-1200 price range, but with a lot more features, much better seat, built in wheel and more.
@@TheBassquatchHunter Do you think the Lure is that much better than the Moken? I am not crazy about the low back seat but I haven't sat in any of them.
RPTV the lure is really nice. They are both great boats, just different. The Moken and fast and lighter. But the lure has more stability, more deck space, built in wheel, much better seat and is a foot shorter. You can get a high seat back on the lure as well. That is how I have my dorado. The low back is very comfortable though too and once you sit in one, you can feel the support. But again, you can always change the back to the high back
Ty Dang I’ve got the feel free moken 10, go with that one I’m 5’5” 125 lb. and it’s my first kayak that thing is a beast I can jump up and down on mine in the water with no worries, it’s light as all hell too I can throw it on my shoulders to load it onto the car
It is definitely good for rivers. I have never tried it on rapids and I am not experienced on rapids. You can ask this question on the Feelfree owners group on fb and I am sure someone will have a better and more educated answer for you:)
I believe the difference is that some weigh it with the seat and pod and some weigh it stripped down. Either that or one is the 10’ and the other is the 12’ and some of us mixed them up. I’ll look into that so I know the correct answer
I was torn between the 2 ended up getting the 12.5. I wanted the 10 because it was lighter. the 12.5 isn't too heavy to load onto my roof and I like the dedicated space for the crate in the back.
@@TheBassquatchHunter got it from Austin kayak. Was told Mar. Which got moved to April, moved to mid June, then end of July. Supposedly now in transit but no firm date, and shipping company doesn't have the best reviews. It has been frustrating.
@@mikeperry8510 see if you can track it to make sure it’s in transit. Inspect it for cracks or damage before you accept the shipment too. Shipping companies are known for being a little careless with kayaks. If it’s not in transit, let me know and I can make a few calls and possibly help out
@@TheBassquatchHunter plan to be here upon arrival, will examine it thoroughly. They said the driver can refuse to let me inspect ipon delivery, but there will be a box to check on the invoice that it will be inspected after delivery is completed. Will not shop from that dealer again.
@@mikeperry8510 keep me posted. I know the guys at ACK well and also at Feelfree, so I know you will get good service from them, but I will help if I can too.
Been waiting for a fresh review on this new Moken. I believe this will be my first kayak! Thanks for sharing!
MrBlueSkyNM glad to hear! This Moken really impressed me!

FishinTheMittin TV thanks! It was great meeting you too!
All I have been doing in this crazy economy is watching mohken 12.5 v2 and wishing I had one

Ditto. Works well for me everywhere but sand. If you had a really long distance to go I would get a dolly, but I’ve never needed one.
Looks like a great kayak.
Great review! Subscribed👍
What's your paddle length for this review? Thanks
Having the hardest time deciding between the seaghost and the Moken. As my 1st kayak. Doing a 4 day river trip this May. Thanks for the review.
Palm trader sit in them both and see what fits you better. The moken has the built in wheel and great stability, but you should sit in them both to see which feels better. The seat location and the way the boat is laid out will fit you in some boats and not as efficiently in others.
Did you get to do your float? Ifvso which kayak did you decide on?

I'm thinking of getting the feelfeel free moken lite, which is 55 lbs..since I'm only 5.4 ft guy..
Ty Dang I’ve got the feel free moken 10, go with that one I’m 5’5” 125 lb. and it’s my first kayak that thing is a beast I can jump up and down on mine in the water with no worries, it’s light as all hell too I can throw it on my shoulders to load it onto the car
Thinking about getting this or the vibe yellowfin 120 not sure what to go with yet.
Which one did you get
@@heidih7233 Never got one.
Would this kayak be good for going over rapids on Small rivers?
It is definitely good for rivers. I have never tried it on rapids and I am not experienced on rapids. You can ask this question on the Feelfree owners group on fb and I am sure someone will have a better and more educated answer for you:)
You mention it is 72 lbs. Some websites say the v2 is 85 lbs and others say 72 lbs. Which is it?
I believe the difference is that some weigh it with the seat and pod and some weigh it stripped down. Either that or one is the 10’ and the other is the 12’ and some of us mixed them up. I’ll look into that so I know the correct answer
Do you think it needs the rudder?
Can I put Overdrive pedals on it V2?
We're u in the high seat position?
Iowa Matt yes I was! It was impressive
Idk know if I want this one or the 10 V2
I was torn between the 2 ended up getting the 12.5. I wanted the 10 because it was lighter. the 12.5 isn't too heavy to load onto my roof and I like the dedicated space for the crate in the back.
Ordered mine today and a rudder with it. Now I wait.
Congrats!
Bassquatch Hunter TV can you post a video of your rudder install?
Randy Provost on the Moken? I will once the rudder comes in:)
Be great to do a review with and without it ?
Dave Bard good idea! Will do:)
Ordered Jan., now Aug. still have not recieved it.
Through a dealer? Shoot me a message on Facebook. I know of dealers that have them in stock. I can see if I can help get one for you asap

YO! Feel Free's web site says it weighs 85 pounds? What gives!!???
Dominik Wilson 🧐 not sure. I will check with them on it. The biggest online retailers have it at 72 but I see they have it at 85.
@@TheBassquatchHunter it looks more like 72!
