I'm going to assume you have already adjusted the trim on the motor so like others have said you obviously need to move your weight forward so it will plane and you'll get a whole lot more speed.
Pretty cool. If u sit towards the front, you can still use the AP motor without coming up.. You were sitting all the way in the back plus the weight of the rear motor.. Plus the rear motor needs to be higher so it won't get water in it. But, ideally, I want Old Town to come up with a stronger motor that goes 6mph top speed. That would be excellent and just enough to get to far spots and goes faster during a big current or big waters with waves like escaping from a incoming storm 😁 I have the AP 120 and top speed is at 4.2mph.. Needs more for sure..
Aliex, one of my fav vids Epic! I think a heavy duty mount, the 2.5 Suzuki, is no problem. And with you in the seat, it'll lower the bow down. I love my 120, my fin drive, and my J2 Bixpy. But I'm going with a NK 180 or NK 300 this season. I can walk all over my boat. I'm 5ft 7" 155. It's a one man boat. I love how you do the same. The hull is so strong on that Oldtown. I still think it's the best boat out there. Especially all the different add-ons you show us. But a kayak, I think the 120's about 37" wide are perfect. Awesome stuff bro! 🌊 🎣 🌴
I had another easier idea. Instead of booking steering leakage lock the gas motor so it’s straight. Then run a piece of pvc from the throttle forward to the seat. Use for peddles and boat rudder to steer. Work?
Same setup on my frontier 12. 5-6mph, still have more throttle left. The problem is they are not planning hulls. Once the bow raised too high, I am worrying about tracking. Better to move your weight forward when going fast. I have 360 seat, could turn around, start, shift forward, then turn back and drive with long extension.
That’s a nice video bro, hey I have an 2022 Hobie outback I was thinking about putting a minnkota powerdrive with I pilot but I’m not sure if I can mount it at back of the kayak since all the video you made is about trying everything that you put on a kayak would you mind trying to put your minnkota pilot on your Hobie outback, hope you make a video, thanks
This is at the very beginning of the video if everything works like you think it should this will be the perfect kayak for you you have outboard you have trolling motors spotlight I mean what more could you ask for
You inspired me. I want to do the same. Just ordered the motor. Where do I get a good motor mount that is strong enough for full throttle without ripping the plastic?
there is a reason why i havent dont a "how to video on this yet" i havent it done in a way that i feel it is bullet proof, i wanna build a base that covers the rear and then add the transom mount on it. but i havent gotten the time to do so lol
I use this mount now, it is way better for more powerful motor (affiliate) shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2353131&u=2689120&m=142642&urllink=newportvessels%2Ecom%2Fcollections%2Felectric%2Doutboard%2Daccessories%2Fproducts%2Ftransom%2Dmotor%2Dmount&afftrack=Transom%20mount%20cm uss code ALIEX10 for 10% off

Yea, I got trapped in a strong current delaware water gap. Towed back by a gas motor Jon boat. Definitely need a stronger motor 😂
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
That’s awesome with that motor on the back. Looks like it’s stable too. That’s pretty cool.
Please do a vidio of falling out of a kayak, then getting back on just like that with your PFD on. Thanks

😂 you finally did it 🙌
I remember when we were in Maine and talked about doing this.
haha bro that Maine trip was amazing! would be fun to do it again! i need to go to texas a fish with you guys
Use a longer tiller extension arm. Also, how about a video on how you installed the mount, what mount you used etc.?
Can't control the motor from the seat too far I can rig it up but it is not worth it
👍👌

I have an ascend 133x I’m putting a 6hp on just gotta wait for winter to pass
Great video Alex, love when you push the Yaks to the Limit.

Greetings from Australia. That’s an awesome idea, Aliex. Thanks for sharing it bro!
Where can i buy that transom bracket?
This is what I use now, Amazon affiliate amzn.to/3MIgD0W
This is at the very beginning of the video if everything works like you think it should this will be the perfect kayak for you you have outboard you have trolling motors spotlight I mean what more could you ask for
👍👌
He has a spotlight on there?
Hey Aliex , I have the same boat and I’m thinking to put a 4-6 hp Suzuki. I want to ask for your opinion. Do you think is too much?
if you make a very good mount, i bet you can
Gots the 136, want put a honda simple because it's air cooled but what mod do you have to support the engine on the kayak?
My dude, what’s up! Question which motor mount do you have. I wanna get one for my old town ap 136
Bro I was about to own you in the comments about not catching a fish 😆 then you landed that Jack 🤙🏼
What did you use for the motor mount and how did you secure it to the kayak
I have a boat like you. It's fun to drive.😆🤩😍
Great video and you caught fish Awsome
Ronnie the rod holder lol 😆
You Crack me up 🤣🤣🤣 you are awesome!!!
Oh and lastnights live stream was great Chad and yourself have helped me so much
Thank you again for stopping by, I'll probably do more live now maybe once a week
Yes but next time no echooo
@rubenakacoolerlid2314 that was Alfred for whatever reason he had and echo I had to mute him when he wasn't speaking lol
I listened anyway brother its all good
As soon as Hobie and MotorGuide team up and make a GPS motor w/ Spotlock that drops into the Hobie drive well the AP120 is done.
Why would it be done? Old Town also has 2 other motor kayaks. AP135 and the 106 powered by Minn Kota.
Can you do a video on how you mounted your motor on this kayak? Please
I wanna do it right but it is coming
Are you taking in water inside your hull from where the rudder cables run through?
Aliex the mad scientist at work LOL
Hahaha 😆 I did a 12 miles round trip today on it, the policed stopped me...

@@AliexFolgueira draw it out and i can see if i can get it done. My buddy has some serious machines and can custom make a lot of stuffs.
My main issue with kayak fishing is how slow from one spot to another.
Uhh first pull what?! Diy kayak community is the best. A little money, ingenuity, and time endless ways to customize your boat.
That's right
What is brand of kayak ?
For what all that cost you should just get a jhon boat and have the room to move. 2 motors is a tad much
Why in world would I want a Jon boat ?? You can't add an ipilot unit easily, it is a pain to launch and looks awful, come on
You’re plowing on that angle. Maybe it will plane out your level it off
I'm gonna add a 2nd trooper to level off
@@AliexFolgueira go for it. Maybe put him in the back cause he’s lighter and you in the seat?
What motor you got. Amazon link?
😆😆😆😆. Awesome..
What is the motor mount and can I get a link?

Alex, does this just bolt on to the old town power pole holes? Or did you have to add new screw holes.
@@vvst10 just thumb bolt it down using the 1/4, gotta be careful with the gas 2.5, like don't go all out just keep it at max 6mph.
Lmao dude.. leziest sounds like a way to describe something for lesbians
Lol thanks
Gosh you ARE lazy. I'm gonna put a motor on my kayak too.
