    Since I've discovered your channel I've enjoyed your opinions and how you present information to make it easy to digest. Would love to see you do something on inflatable kayaks.

      EPDL is definitely more of a niche kayak. Hasn't done well in this area but that may change in the future. People here still enjoy the Autopilots

      I have a ss107 bonafide was thinking of upgrading to the pwr 129 ? Would the pwr 129 be a better padding kayak then ss107 was thinking of adding trolling motor eventually haven't seen to many motorguide xi3 on ss107 any info would be greatly appreciated

    I'm wanting to power my rs117 with a trolling motor in the back, the motors have that bar that extends directly behind the seat, is there a practical setup for using that comfortably and not having your gear in the way?

    • @thebeardedpaddler
      @thebeardedpaddler  13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It will be aftermarket and DIY mainly. The SS series were really setup for motorizing more than the RS. I've seen people do it though. The lighter the motor the better.

    Good video as always. for myself its easy. I kayak ohio waterways, mostly for work, so I am in shallow water often dragging. this makes pedal/power setups worthless most of the time.

    Great video! I enjoy paddling, but the wind where I live can make trying to both fish and paddle miserable. I spend more time positioning the boat than actually fish. Even for just paddling having a rudder with foot controlled steering helps immensely; keeps the boat from spinning as much and allows for some hands-free drifting.

    • @thebeardedpaddler
      @thebeardedpaddler  14 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Very good points. It's what got me into motorizing honestly. Still value in pedal drives, but the motor Is way more efficient

    How long does that battery last you if you're using it hard and in between. Looking hard at that cause I went out with a buddy with one and it looked so much better.

      It always will depend on the amp/hour rating of your battery vs the amp draw of the motor. That will tell you how long you can run it

    Also with a motorized kayak you may have to pay taxes on the price of it to get it tagged.

      Most states won't have taxes unless the kayak value is over a certain amount. It will assess as a $0

    Technically Power, Pedal and Paddle for me. I mainly use power, when/if it fails i have my pedal drive onboard (its happened) and if that fails my pedals have a spot on the kayak thats out of the way. Beyond that, means my kayak is at the bottom of the lake and im swimming.
