Yo as much as I can appreciate a good setup. (Yours is a nice setup). Just me saying, that’s way too much going on for a yak fisher. 2 sonars? And towing it like a boat? Not bashing anything, it’s a great setup. For me that’s way too much for yak fishing. But hey it works for you. Good on ya. 👍🍺

are you in south carolina?

Good job love to see a restoration build

Hooking the bonafide foot steering to the motor instead of the built in rudder would dramatically help the steering issue. There are definitely complaints though with how smooth the factory foot steering is.

just seen a video about a tent on a kayak, it was very cumbersome but if you used a hammock tent all you would need is a support frame on the kayak to hold the hammock tent just join 2 kayaks together 1 for the tent and 1for you to drive in

High expansion foam to fill big holes, sand to shape, then take to a lineX dealer and just bed line it with high end poly bed liner. Fixed for years. lol

If you have the welder and knowledge to do this, why didn't you just build your own kayak trailer? They even have blue prints online. I wish I had the knowledge and equipment I would build my own for my specific kayak. I like others who are looking for ways we don't have to build one from scratch which is what you are doing.

Great video, thank you

Where did you get a diagonal mattress ?

What size rimes and tires did you go with?

I think I'll wait for the Kammok Crosswing to have a few additional features (shade wall, slightly deeper, optional support poles for the added length) and get that.

Is there an update on the new battery? Looking at starting a build and might use that battery.

Did you have any rubbing with the tires with no lift?

1,250 BUCKS FOR A PORTABLE AC, NAH TOO MUCH YO

take my money!!! thanks great vid

What kind of lining is that?

THE AC UNIT, WHERE YOU GET IT AND BRAND NAME?

You really should have fuses or circuit breakers on the battery side in the battery box.

I'd love to see both motors compared on the same hull.

I just don’t understand that stupidity of catching the fish on the hook, damage them with the hook and then release them?!!! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️👎

The rear propeller was creating drag. Try it with it up?

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢

Just came across your first video when you started this project. Binged the series before bed. That’s quite an epic build. I’ll sub to follow along. I have my late parent’s Nissan truck bed trailer (probably same era as your Mazda) that I just never had a use for besides holding garage boxes as it sat in the garage but didn’t want to get rid of it cuz it’s a good trailer. And it has perm plates on it :v I was looking at tear drop trailers again and my friend said I should convert my trailer in to a camper trailer. Looking up truck bed camper trailers and then seeing you custom build Trailer Swift was a lot of fun and inspiring. No way a project for me at the moment cuz broke boy hours but I can at least start getting ideas.

Tell about that A/C unit

Seems more shaky than my OVS 270, there’s a couple thinks about the OVS I’m not fond of. Shopping for a new one. But I’m not to sure about this one.

awesome video! Bring your set up and kayak to Ocracoke Island and we will do some fishing!

I get 5.2 mph with a NK180 in a fully loaded Crescent Shoalie. Fish finder, 13x16 black pak, 6 lbs mushroom anger with anger wizard and shoot, lots of Yak Attack assessories. You probably need to mess with motor depth and trim.

How's it holding up almost a year later? Still happy with it?

You just saved me alot of money Brother.... cause now I know an Empty PWR 129 and 180pro motor isnt at all that fast even with someone half my weight. That 5 MPH will turn into 4 point Something when rigged out. I have been told the Xi3 on the bow will make the PWR 129 run 5.7 to 6 MPH from 3 owners.... I have the Xi3 already maybe I just use that instead of getting the 180pro.

Great video, and Thanks... Like you, I also have the NK300 and an "older" NK180 (pre-Pro Model). The 180 pushes my old Titan 10.5 around 4.7 mph (that's with a fully rigged 'Yak, that weighs over 200 pounds), and I don't know how fast the 300 goes, or how much the Titan-X weighs (but it's pushing at least 300 to 320 pounds, with the batteries and fishing gear and graphs! Stay "tuned"...!). Lol So glad you did that test, as a Friend is "un-decided" about which he wants to get for his 'Yak, and I'll surely pass this video on to him. (Ps: I'm thinking you're having cavitation issues with that NK180 Pro, so you might take a look at the depth and angle of how it's mounted!).

...and do you have both 24/36 volts for both motor???

Who makes that trailer? It looks very well-built.

The tests and race compared entire systems. Not just the motor. Hull design and weight are big factors. I believe a realistic test for the motor would be to have each motor on the same boat(s) with the same setup. I really like Newport Vessels motors and believe they are easily on par with Minn Kota motors. The motor we use the most is actually a 24lb thrust WaterSnake Asp (because it weighs 5 lbs). It tops out at about 3mph for our 250 lb (without us in it) PA 17T. The same boat goes about 4MPH with the Newport 36lb thrust and 5-6 MPH with the 55lb thrust motor. Battery life drops like a rock as the motor gets more powerful, but the top speed doesn't go up that much.

You really need to identical hulls, the speed is dependent on hull design. But I am sure the 300 would out perform anyway.

Hey if you get any feed back from the wizard on the steering can't wait till you share that information I want what Greg has on his titan X

In the steering issue because you’re using the rudder and not turning the 180P ? Or does the PWR just have bad steering capabilities?

How long did you make the angled bars on top that the Yakima Top Water is mounted to?

What was mounted right behind the battery on the PWR?

Where can I get. That hobie casate insert , I would like to install it in my BKC peddal flipper drive hole in my kayak instead of a side mount like I've seen on a lot of videos with the water snake universal mounts

In my opinion it's not about how much it weighs except on takeoff and how much resistance the hull has. On my outlaw 11.5 I get a steady 5 mph out of my MotorGuide 55 lb thrust. I've run it fully rigged out and empty and the speed never changes.

Add some PB Blaster Dry Lube from AutoZone to the foot pedal tracks of the PWR. It’ll help smooth out the steering. Mine was horrible when I first got it. Now it’s super smooth.

I have a 12 1/2 foot slayer from native. kayak weighs 100 pounds. I take it in saltwater for Reds flounders and trout. Sometimes get a little rough and windy. I may have to go with the 300 good video. Thanks for your test. I’m thinking of pulling the trigger on it.

Do you have the trim angle and depth setup right for the bonafide u can adjust it to tweak the performance

My truck bed trailer is made of a 2000 tacoma truck bed. It has a 6" lift with 35" tires, air bags for leveling, 2 15 gal water tanks under the bed, RCI Bed Rack, OVS 270 Awning ECOXGEAR Sound Bar, 2 100Ah group 31 Batteries, stabalizer jacks, using existing drum brakes & modified brake handle to lock wheels from rolling and just installed the iKamper Skycamp 3.0

Thank you Matthew McConaughey

Damn where you get that bed? Ive been slowly building my 2020 Ranger but it has a 5ft 1inch bed and i was so lost on where to find a mattress that would fit

Love it I got a Jeep gladiator can you make one of these for mine and stain it all black love the diagonal I think it's better sleeping more room

It look so cool! i love it❤

I love the trailer, it’s awesome! I agree the name sucks. I used to like her, but she’s turned just evil.

Does there need to be a specific type of roof rack to accommodate a rooftop tent?
