I bought this kayak a week ago from this posting then yesterday the semi that was carrying the kayak got hit by 110mph wind gust from a nasty storm system yesterday and the kayak got crushed by other cargo
+udmbfck x andresito says you can watch this playlist to learn more about the pilot..... He also says Perception fixed the drive (so they say) Perception Pescador Pilot 12 Pedal Drive Kayak: th-cam.com/play/PLfXm-PtTlrvx1jRmEhUeCuo3WkweLqyFX.html Thanks for watching my friend
I didn't know you had one of those kayaks! Do you like it? I'm looking into buying a pedal drive fishing kayak but they are so expensive. The pescador seems more affordable. Is it worth it?
Love your reentry test. Looks like the pedal drive could make that difficult if you had gear on but that is probably true across pedal yaks. Great review!
+911 Tech yeah the drive could be an issue in te entry, but these kayaks are huge, there should be enough room to make it work. It is all about technique, thats why I believe you should definitely do some in depth testing like this so you know what to do when you flip 😁 safety first
You did fine making video and had fun, the question is in a real capsize situation you would more than likely be unable to push from the bottom of the sea or lake like you did from the bottom of the pool, how do you think you'd cope in such a situation? maybe your next video you could try this out, let me tell you it isn't as easy to upright a kayak or to climb back into one as you think, I thought it would be easy but it took some practice to learn the technique however now I've practiced it's much easier, I live in the Britain were we are not blessed with warm waters so the quicker we get back into our kayaks the better so it's very important to learn this technique before we decide to do some serious boating, anyhow thanks for the video.
New subscriber here I love your videos! Because of you I went and bought the shimano stradic ci4 and now I want this yak! It looks like you have to really want to flip it for it to tip over
Cool that's the only thing I haven't tried yet in mine can't wait till next year too damn cold here in NE PA to go out now and snowing as I write this now
+Rafael Salas Jr the pedal drives makes the difference and you can still paddle this kayak. I would test it. The plastic rail tracks can he replaced easy and cheap
Hey what’s up man I know you’ve done test on the Pescador pilot and the pelican 130 pedal drives. Please let me know which one you like the best for Fishing, stability and all around performance. Thanks
been wanting this for months ,please give us a review of the yak and your thoughts, and also witch do u like better the perception or your native ? thx
Aliex Folgueira thanks ,I've been looking at this yak for months and it drives me nuts that they just did quick walk through videos on it ,be nice to know how deep the pods are and what they can hold, also just the overall performance of the yak ,and thanks again
Nice video!!! I'm looking to buy my first kayak and is very interested in a propel drive. Will you be loading this into a truck, or on top of an SUV or car? I guess the real question is, is it practical to load on top of an SUV or car? Again nice review.
+Andrew Pitre for years I transported my kayak in top of my old Ford Focus, now I have a truck. I would recommend getting high quality roof racks if your vehicle doesn't have a pair. There ways to upload the kayaks on top of a car or SUV without much difficulty. I should make a video about this. Hehe 👍😀
Hey..I just bought this....I'm 6'2'' 320.... Flipped it so easy...should I sell the pilot and get the 3waters 108? Or what's the best pedal drive for big guys?
One of the biggest factor when getting flipped is the swell or wave. Like when you are reaching for a fish and a swell comes by just as you are off balance.
+Kayak Fishing SoCal yup it happens, that's why I like to practice in the pool so I know what to expect. I'm going to do these videos on the ocean keep them more real
We are probably neighbors, I live in West Kendall, The Hammocks. I have a pescador and a Wildnerness Commander. I am thinking of selling those and buy something lighter.
+Predator Paintball hi, I'm almost 6ft, my son who is 7 can peddle this kayak, if you are looking for something smaller and cheaper check my last video th-cam.com/video/_HZLe3WwovI/w-d-xo.html

This is what I look for in a kayak review. Great job. Keep up the videos.
Awesome man!!!! She looks more sturdy than my boat half the time Lol Looked like you and your family had a ball!!!! Take care!!!!
You have come a long way brother!! 🙌🏼
Love it… having fun with the fam and putting the yak through its paces!
fun times
Best part by far was the hamstring injury lesson love the review bro thank you
thanks
I got my perception Pescador Pilot 12.0 for 1200 brand new when it first came out and updated peddle drive.
lol you gotta add 30 mph winds, a tide, ice chest add 20lb ice, redfish.
Great way to test out the yak before you go out bud. Tight lines!
+Benjamin Leboeuf hooked red fish and s shark chasing it, next time I'll do the test in the wild
Bro! Absolutely a pleasure to watch. Hilarious! Keep it up!
Thank you 😁 I really appreciate positive comments like yours

Wow that's sad! Hope they can replace it soon
My buddy just bought one of these. Cant wait to try it out. Love these demos you do.
Thanks man, let me know how it goes
Looks like the swells are pretty manageable in that pool man! I would take that kayak to any pool for sure. 😂
Lol broooo, wait until the kids jump in! 7 foot seas 😂
Aliex, love the video's. Can you do a comparison between this kayak and the Pelican pedal kayak?
Somewhere in South FL...the water is a bit cool in January....Andres, get off the thing! Thanks for the test, I am looking into purchasing this kayak.

Very nice stability test for that reason I just might buy one of these, thank you

+lojo.fishing yes to me it is, the pescador have some issues but they can be fixed easily, $1800 vs $2600 wins any day

Awesome video!
+Tommy Rangel thanks Tommy 😀
What are the dimensions of the transducer mounting area. Depth width length?
+Kevin Harris I'll check it and get back to you 😀
Cool that's the only thing I haven't tried yet in mine can't wait till next year too damn cold here in NE PA to go out now and snowing as I write this now
It just got a little chilly here in Florida 65 degrees. You should Def practice flipping boats and getting back on them
Good job!
Nice testing...by the way we have a chance to see the Kayak's bottom!!!
+Fred Fable yes, I always wanted to see the bottom of kayaks nobody show them in their videos I do
+Fred Fable thanks freed for all the comments, you are the best

great video where can i get this kayak and how much?

Do more of these. Ur awesome.
+John Martinez thanks bro!! I have a few more here Does It Flip? Kayak Test: th-cam.com/play/PLfXm-PtTlrvxavAvNFSCRWMsW6XJeJI21.html
That is a great kayak! My brother in law has one.
+Rafael Salas Jr really good and for the price it is even better you should get this one, it is probably as stable as the big rig
Aliex Folgueira I'm gonna give it a test drive. It's a possibility.
+Rafael Salas Jr the pedal drives makes the difference and you can still paddle this kayak. I would test it. The plastic rail tracks can he replaced easy and cheap

I have to say the catch is a better option at this point, cheaper and pelican does stand behind their product from what I have seen
Great review.
+echo2003 thanks Echo

Hey..I just bought this....I'm 6'2'' 320.... Flipped it so easy...should I sell the pilot and get the 3waters 108? Or what's the best pedal drive for big guys?
Yeah weight plays a big factor, if you need a sub $2000 yak yes big fish 108, if you could titan 13 would be better or Sportsman AutoPilot 136
One of the biggest factor when getting flipped is the swell or wave. Like when you are reaching for a fish and a swell comes by just as you are off balance.
+Kayak Fishing SoCal yup happened to NE once but it was a very Narrow kayak
Aliex Folgueira buddy got hit my a swell in a pro angler and flipped. He wasn't even that off balance.
+Kayak Fishing SoCal yup it happens, that's why I like to practice in the pool so I know what to expect. I'm going to do these videos on the ocean keep them more real
Aliex Folgueira yea I don't have a pool so I practice in hr harbor.
Kayak Fishing SoCal more realistic
Alex I need your recommendation for a fishing pedal kayak under $2000 do you have the time to talk over the phone?
I like the salty pdl, this one and the big fish 108
@@AliexFolgueira Salty pedal, you mean the Perception Pescador Pilot 12?
@@AliexFolgueira Also how would you compare the two against the Hobie Mirage passport 12?
which one do you think is morw stable? this one or the seaghostt 130???
This is more stable than the sea ghost 130
Which one is more stable? Pescador Pilot 12 or Hobie Outback?
probably outback
That's crazy man but cool 😎
+Victor kayak that pool was pure ice
great vid and you look like your a great dad also
+Martin Hawkins thanks 😁😁😁😁
This kayak or old town top water more stable?
Topwaters are more stable
Soon I will own one of these bad boys, pedal drive ftw?
+NoSkunkFishing go for it, I think the Pescador is a good buy
Really cool

I'm not sure why, but this video has me cracking up.
We had fun for real making this video lol early days of the channel
Okay whoesle is move their head along with him during the test. 🤣🤣
😂
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The kayak needs a pool heater !
Agreed
very stable but wet butt can't stand a sit on top kayak with all the stupid holes
Sit on top are self bailing so you can revolver everywhere pretty much, you can also plug the holes
1st and nice
+《Klae Outdoors》 yayy first
Dont get the pescador pro...it's garbage. I have the 10 and it easily flips if I reach in the back
Thanks
I flipped mine easy as well
Why are you yelling?
Because I want and can
