Greg, how can I contact Romero 'The Wizards' to have him modify a PA14?

[@freeagentangler5159]

Man! Just when I almost had my boat looking like Greg’s, he goes and upgrades some more! You’re killing me smalls!!

Greg this video is just a testament to your editing skills! While this video was drawn out over several days with a lot of different content, the video was super easy to follow, and I enjoyed every second of it! Congrats on the upgrades!

[@Khaymen223]

The mad scientist who did that custom engineering is bad ass gifted. Love the genius mad science types.

[@urban_legendO-H]

All I want for Christmas is a Greg Blanchard box set of DVDs lol

[@mizzle1788]

I actually went to school with you in Seneca falls and played a bit of soccer with you. I got hooked on your videos and now I'm big into kayak fishing. Thanks for the inspiration from a 315er

[@XSJunkieJWH]

Man! I'm excited for ya. Nothing like taking an old boat and maker her new again. Great video!

[@agentwynnoutdoors]

Man that boat is filthy in a nice way. The seat alone is just insane.

[@bmiller8255]

What a setup Greg!!! Y’all truly are the innovators of Kayaking that I know about. Wish we had the Wizard around the East Coast. Good luck on Clear Lake, can’t wait for the videos to drop. And your still showing the Pit Boss as your trailer? That definitely was not a Pit Boss.

[@oldsarj]

How to do things backwards, me, that is. I already have a Torqueedo for my drift boat but your video has sold me on getting a Kayak as well. I live at the confluence of the Clackamas and the Willamette rivers. Steelhead, salmon, shad, smallmouth and trout. We got 'em all and the Native Watercraft looks like just the ticket, especially on the bigger river. You done sold me, bro.

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Greg, wanted to add a comment I forgot. I I finally bought my Hoodoo tempest Hybrid 120 PDL, and I purchased my electric motor where the PDL goes, so I can choose for the day. I set up my boat all winter. My 1st season, finally with my kayak and off the bank. I did all my power charging panels, fish finder, and many other add-on's. I wish you would install at-least a 4 ft flag. I saw a beautiful kayak on the lake I fish, get hit by a 26 ft center console boat. Thank god he was okay, but his stern was destroyed. Be safe bro!! 🙏🙏

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Greg, love the boat. She's beautiful, and one of a kind. This is my 1st season, and I just keep buying addon's, accessories, etc. But I love all of our different setups. The Wizard is extremely talented and smart. I love my PDL, and my motor. You deserve all of that. You fish hard, you're a mentor to all of us new guys kayak fishing. I know I've learnt so much, from all your vids. I have some, I'll watch over and over. Be safe bro, and god bless.🙏👍🎣

[@kylelundy7870]

I definitely enjoy the tour & explaining the thought process- that helps me with some ideas for my kayak.

[@petersuddath6477]

Greg, you are single handedly changing the kayak fishing industry! Thank you for showing us what is possible.

[@chriseadsfishing1704]

Nice makeover. So much more convenient for sure and almost 7.5 with the new motor? Wow! I just ordered a Big Fish 103 so I am anxious to get it all rigged up!

[@jeffc2630]

The last few videos have shown a leap to another level! It's cool to see your progression, and definitely an inspiration to a lot of people, myself included!

[@mr.t1581]

Laughed out loud when you looked at the wind “Oh boy”. We all been there!

[@myronhigh3527]

The new kayak set up is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!! Cant wait to see the 1st tournament in the new rig!!!! Good luck and God Bless!!!!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@wgb925]

Man Romel is something else! That is one sweet set up. No one is catching you , unless someone does the same thing, if you know what I mean... lol! That is very cool!

[@Flukemaster]

That seat riser is insane bro. I can't wait to inspect it up close next week.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Can't wait to get down there with you guys. Gonna be a blast!

[@gavingraybill867]

I had no clue you could do all this to a kayak and still make it look normal and simple. Coolest kayak on KZbin!

[@DiamondHead2010]

I really enjoyed this one GB Had a bit of everything - travel vid, kayak mods, fishing Felt like the travel channel lol

[@bryanvogt2591]

Wow, The wizard is amazing. So many ideas I get from this for my Titan 10.5. Great job!

[@buliwyfmk1307]

[@gregoryrappaport9180]

Amazing! Very technical, yet physically efficient. Ramel is a great resource Greg! TL 🎣

[@mmancino1982]

Damn, that dude is talented. I put in a simple power hub and it took me like 4 days 🤣🤣

[@sangsaephan3258]

Greg: “I think I legitimately created a wake today.” That had me dying 😂.

[@Frewsfishn]

Love the attention your equipment is getting lately Greg !

[@freeagentangler5159]

Companies should be knocking his door down for sure!

[@MY-kv9cu]

Does your boat have a name? Every good boat needs a name!

[@travisbruno1988]

Awesome upgrades. Your set now Greg Cant wait to see you killin the tournaments with this beast.

[@maddgoatee9708]

Next level kayak. Romel did a great job.

[@DiamondHead2010]

That battery under the seat set up is genius..nice job rommel

[@colinveith3721]

How much heavier is it for YOU to walk the kayak from truck to water? Some of your time lapse clips look like quite a trek! Great stuff, Greg!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Ironically it's a lot easier now with more weight in the middle and towards the front of the boat!

[@HughJazzDong]

The pedal drive is definitely creating drag too. That sucker rips! You have to name your Yak dude!

[@sorberlytotal]

That intro of all them hook sets were dope!

[@mfahim1995]

Genuinely happy for you.... Your channel is really tempting me to get a kayak!!!

[@_Lt__Dan_]

Had an opportunity to buy this boat (before i knew anything about Native yaks) from a retailer who was going out of business and had it on sale for $1300 but i wanted to do my "research". Still regreted not pulling the trigger to this day.

[@The94accord]

I remember feeling that way on my old boat, it just had a trolling motor that would run like 3.5mph. Then I bought my tracker classic which by all standards is pretty slow, but it runs 35mph. I remember that feeling sketchy at first.

[@fulllifeadventures]

He did a great job! One of the best units in the game 👌🏼🔥

[@VinnyM.92]

Just when I thought this boat couldn’t get any more sick! 😂

[@kylekuperus2964]

Awesome stuff! That wind has been something else these past few weeks!

[@lizsmith9948]

Wow, it's like having Nos in the kayak! F10 😂 You keep it lively by bouncing around in the video. Great to watch before I head to Clear Lake. Best to you!

Another great video from Greg "it's a biggin" Blanchard. Love your work, keep it up.

[@kumaboyy.7443]

That yak is loaded! Good luck in the tourney, Greg!

[@valenor916]

Dude I literally did this same thing at Folsom Lake last weekend. Launched my yak onto the water and was getting pushed around so bad by white caps and high winds that I went back to shore. No fish is worth your life people!!! Btw your setup is life goals man, good luck on the upcoming tourney!

[@robertdiehl1281]

Dude that boat is pretty damn sweet. Good luck on Clear Lake

[@strykers_inc140]

You will love the 1103.... I have mine on a Titan 13.5 and it moves out. Also, Next Level Designs has a new bearing system coming out!

That new set-up is awesome

[@gmarkbaker19]

I am always impressed with your organization and ability to overcome the little obstacles that befall you. Congratulations on the upgrades and I'm looking forward to seeing you in that tournament and see if your upgrades help you for tournament success. Are they any other upgrades that you want to do? What else can you do? What will help your tournament win? Keep up that great editing and filming of your adventures, I feel like I have fished with you more than anyone else!

[@jaylee6936]

Holy crap that trolling motor costs more than my kayak! Greg's ballin out here! New setup looks awesome man

[@mikeryan925]

That was definitely to windy. Glade you got out there Greg. Rig looks awesome as always. Till we meet again at the gas station.

Almost at 100k, wow man you deserve it. Great work keep it up

[@jaygee2]

This was the vid I'd been waiting for, good stuff Greg!

[@brianmcquinn5897]

You should partner with the wizard (and a manufacture) to market your "fishing crate" as a product exactly as you have it - I would buy it in a second!

[@BobbyOfEarth]

I was hoping to see a huge Kayak on the baggage carousel.. would have been too funny!

[@derekblanchard4]

Great video Greg, I'm liking the new look on the yak...thanks again

[@poststalone1496]

It’s funny, I don’t notice the little cuts in your videos but while driving it was super obvious. Not a criticism but it was interesting seeing how much effort you put into making a clean video for us.

[@longthao2810]

Nobody stealing your fishing spot anymore with that speed . 😂

[@MrSneakySniper]

i’m in love with your kayak Greg lol, the lights and battery setup are sexy hahaha

[@mburke1211]

I swear are you and Rommel need to team up with Native to outfit a boat like yours. Who else to consult with Native than you? You’ve put a lot of hours in that Titan, and I think you’ve got it dialed. Awesome set up!

[@reeljourney]

The Wizard earned his name

[@Jrizy.]

You are the luckiest man alive. I’d kill for a kayak like this man. Man I really need to try and get a kayak.

Need to update the merch Greg. It’s been a Minute! Thxs for showing

[@chrisphelix4115]

Man that seat mount is pretty sick. I have a Titan 13.5 and a OT AP 136. I would love a higher seat mount for both like that!! Good stuff G !!

I was thinking the same thing. Got to be crazy heavy now.

[@TWC6724]

Dang, Romel definitely lives up to his name of the wizard. That boat is amazing!! Does your transducer have a lift on it to pull it up into the hull further or does it not need that?

[@strat-a-caster2016]

Are you full on Abu now? Haha, haven't seen the curados in a minute.

Greg Blanchard iv been wondering the same thing what happened??

[@georgefitzhugh6455]

Just found your channel. Subbed! Your CNC buddy has some skills.

[@georgefitzhugh6455]

CNC buddy = Rommel

[@dthao92]

Sick rig! you can probably push 6mph with the pedal drive up

[@sethlouden2529]

The kyak has more stuff on it then my boat that kyak is sick

[@tsjuno]

Awesome upgrades. I really wanted to see how fast it would go if you pulled the petal drive up to get rid of the drag. Maybe next vid.

[@mikefurness1598]

Great setup for you Greg. I know you must enjoy all that stuff on your kayak. It's not for me though. Too much gear to potentially lose when I travel out into the Atlantic ocean when I go back east. It would probably be great on the lakes here in Arizona but my pedal drive does just fine. Congratulations on the new setup I hope it works as well as you expect it to. And good luck with the tournament ... look forward to seeing the video.

[@OPescadordoVale]

Hi Greg I'm a big fan of yours here in Brazil. Incredible this project of yours, I want to try to make a project similar to yours here, but it's all more difficult. I currently use a 3hp gasoline turbo jet engine, I have already done 40km in fishing. Hug Greg.

[@rodneyhaymon3092]

Nice upgrades greg. I'm jealous

[@zero-ol2nt]

Yea I'm trying to decide between the 403ac and the 1103. The power is obviously with the 1103 but I just don't know if the increase in power is worth losing all the runtime you get with the 403ac. Full throttle with the 1103 is only 48min now granted that's continues but still I could see that going quick. Where as the 403ac you could get comparable speed with hours more runtime 🤷 idk

[@kdot2427]

This is what Kayak Dreams are made of

[@oakland-as-diehard6717]

Yea... launched there a month back and it was ridiculous as well. Got off water after 3 hrs.. Noticed you went to a new launch the next day 🤣😂

[@ninjarider84]

My 403 pushes my 12.5 Pelican 130 5 mph, I love it. That kayak is absolutely dope, that guy is a good friend to have, a thing of beauty. Does the 1103 come with a bigger battery though...pushing that much power I would think would ware on the battery more. I use mine at 50% usually so I'm not kicking back to the dock lol

[@a2nvi3tboyz03]

Wow!! Those are some sick upgrades! That motor tho! But with all those cool upgrades to the kayak, couldn’t you have gave it a bath too? Ahahaha j/k just messin with ya.

[@georgedavis6583]

You do know they have things called fishing boats? They incorporate a lot of the features your kayak has. 🤣

[@rosscampbell4884]

[@sergioquintanilla5899]

Would like to see an updated video on your rod and reel rigs. 🤙

[@jus4funtim]

Have your buddy Ramel make you a flat plate to close up the peddle drive and you'll probably hit 10 mph without the drag from the prop
