[@tombosanko3085]

Thank you Chad for the review. Being a veteran with bad knees, that big cockpit space would be great. It is expensive, can't afford one yet. My oldest son loves his kayack. He said that he'll never get any other one unless they make drastic improvements to the 120. One thing not covered is some states require it to be registered since it is motorized. Since my sons introduced me to kayack fishing, I've gotten off the couch and back fishing again. Thank you all for helping the veterans.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

That will be covered in the On the Water video and it’s actually all states now if it is motorized.

[@BackWaterYakin]

I’ve had my oldtown autopilot 120 for about 4 months now and it is an absolute fishing machine. Standing and fishing all day is a game changer. Only cons if any to me is that it is extremely heavy and it’s slow compared to putting a aftermarket motor on other kayaks. Great video chad.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thank you sir

[@timmoore9736]

If you are trolling, often slow is the key. I don't think they designed it for bass tournaments with everyone racing out "hair on fire". Out here in the West, trout, kokanee, salmon, steelhead, walleye don't require speed, and it is an awesome fishing machine.

[@kevinboudreaux4575]

I never leave reviews or hit the like button. I am doing both here. Man, you do the best review videos. And not just for kayaks, I mean compared to other industries as well. So much so, I am going to go look at this kayak at my local store this weekend. Thanks for what you do.

[@HendersonHookin]

Old Town makes a solid product! They have been doing it long enough to have it figured out. The craftmanship and warranty are unbeatable. Ive had every one they make, (its a sickness) and they are all great. Navarre kayak makes some great stuff for the Old Towns. The one thing you gotta get, GPS puck. Total game changer

[@AnglerDanNE]

May I ask what you mean by GPS puck? Looking at buying one of these for next season.

[@brandonborders9082]

Spot on review Chad! I've had my AP136 for 13 months (5'11"; 270lbs) and absolutley love it. It has literally changed my life from a bank fisher to a tournament contender. I car topped on my Xterra for a while but was happy to move to a trailer. Had to try a few rigs for my landing gear (busted my add-on tracks, replaced the factory rear tracks with alumimum) but never use them since moving to a trailer launch. I mounted a harbor freight hoist in my garage and lift it directly off the trailer to a storage rack above my car so I dont have to park outside. Yes, its expensive (stressful investment that I dont regret) but still cheaper than a new bass boat and you can go more places (especially if your docks are dried up). Cant say enough good things about it (and spot lock) and I hope you get the same enjoyment in your future trips.

[@fly_yaker]

Wow! I think this is one of the best detailed first impression videos I have ever seen on any kayak. Your extensive real world experience in fishing kayaks really showed, unlike some spokesperson for a product whose knowledge is limited to what they’ve read & memorized. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great job on the review. I've been considering a 136 for some time now. Your review has convinced me for sure. I like the little details that you talk about. The engineering that goes into a boat is the most important part and it looks like Old Town knows their stuff.

This was tghe most thorough review of a boat I ahve watched - soup, nuts, and the third hair on the dog. Wishes: a) I was younger and b) this was available when I bought my Hobie 14 Pro. I will make do, but if I see an Old Town, I will be drooling with envy.

[@robertwhetstone5300]

I've had my AP 120 since August 2020. I use a 100ah Lithium for the motor. Ran out of power only once. It was at the end of a tournament running the motor almost 9 hours straight. It drained within easy paddling of the ramp. I use a 30ah Lithium for lights and fish finder. I used velcro to secure the 30ah in the hull. I've added some after-market mods from Navarre. Using a trailer allows me to easily launch and get out of the water without help. I love this kayak. I had 3 other kayaks before the AP 120.

[@jameseason9949]

Love the approach and the honesty. KUDOs to OT for helping the Mission 22 cause! Many times my "final" purchase thoughts are weighed by such assistance. Very tempted to pick this up. The speed concerns make me hesitant. Getting to "that spot" way across the lake, or to that next spot is a consideration, especially for all the tournament guys.

I have the 106MK and I love it. It’s light enough(75lbs) to cartop when it’s stripped down. I recommend a scupper plug for the scupper hole in the bow where the transducer cable comes through lol in rough water when you hit a wave head on you’ll have a geyser spraying you in the face and on the 106MK, that is where the motor power connector is. So far it hasn’t been an issue but… I hope Old Town will be offering upgrades ie an Auto Pilot motor for the 106 down the road.

It's an awesome boat. I have the first iteration of it. Some improvements have been made since. You'll definitely need a 100ah battery if you plan on over 8 hours of fishing or if you make long runs throughout the day. I always carry an extra battery just for emergencies.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks for the feedback

[@abe4755]

Love your videos Chad keep them coming!!! I have a sportsman 106 powered by Minn kota. It has a very similar platform. I found a way to rig my ketch carbonite board to the yak that I haven’t seen anybody else do yet. I took a yak attack double header with the dual roto grip and put it on the rear track. You can pop your measuring board into it and it secured from popping out by the rotogrips. Keeps the board out of the way but easily accessible when needed. Let me know what you think of this rigging option. Look forward to on your water review as the autopilot will be my next upgrade.

[@mrb401]

Great in depth review Chad. I agree with pretty much what you had mentioned. After 2 seasons of ownership, heres the list of my cons: -Having to register it -MK motor reliability/warranty. The collar piece wore out on mine and seized up. OT replaced it at no cost. But this was only a season in, with meticulous maintenance on my part. It worries me the warranty is only 2 yrs on the motor. -hatch up front is way too small. Wished it were at least an 8” or larger -no drain cut outs for the cupholders. Really?? Might seem minor but water get in there and pools up. I carry a small sponge to drain it out. Annoying. Thats about it for the cons. Youve already mentioned price and weight. Otherwise the absolute #1 reason I own this yak is for spot lock. Anchoring in the ocean can be very dangerous. Spotlock (along with the puck sensor) eliminates that completely.

[@josephmancino8855]

Chad, I am looking to get a motorized kayak in spring 2024. Your review of Old Town autopilot 120 had me convinced that this was the one.

Chad I appreciate all of your videos. I have yet to purchase a kayak for fishing. I’m in a toss up between Old Town and Hobie. Would you prefer one over the other. If so why would you chose so?

[@ChadHooverFishing]

If it came down to just those two. It’s a tough call kind of like I said in my Best of 2021 Fishing Kayaks video, it would likely be Old Town for me and it really just come down to the fact that they have a better breath of products, embrace motorized kayaks and also have some basic models that are more affordable. I also think there is just a slight edge to Old Town in reliability and durability.

[@thomaspotts47]

Thanks Chad that was a great video, it's amazing how detailed you get with these things. I have the 136 model. agree it is a bit heavy but a cart does help a lot. The only other complaints is speed, most of my buddies have The motor guide i3 and there is a noticeable speed difference, also the location of the transducer does make it difficult when I lift the yak from the cart onto the bed extender, I have to be very careful that I do not crush the transducer.

Oldtown still need to go come out with a stern mounted trolling motor setup for the bigwater and other sportsman pdls. Pedal and stern motor is the way to go in my opinion.

There are already motors that exist in that category. Motors that pull like a trolling motor are different than ones that push like stern mount motors. I think that they could easier adapt the Minnkota into a stern mount but they would likely need a different prop design for more efficiency

[@jonnyspeed]

Chad, there are many good Lithium 100 AH batteries available around the $300-$500 price point if you look around. Not from your sponsors though. Gotta go off brand.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

I’ve literally tested about a half dozen of the off brands and most of them come with little to no warranty and of the three that I actually bought and tested none of them even came close to the 100 amp hours of performance that they advertised or they had something like “not designed for areas with vibration, damp or humid areas, which is pretty much the environment that we live in as kayak anglers. Hope that makes sense. Trust me, in MANY cases I offer recommendations for price point products that are not sponsors of mine where I can. It’s just hard to beat the warranty and performance of the Dakota Lithium batteries that I use and recommend.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

And by the way, thanks for the feedback. I Sure many people will find a cheaper alternative that will suit their needs, it’s just hard to endorse or recommend it for kayak fishing when the companies don’t recommend it for that. Hope that makes sense.

@@ChadHooverFishingNo I get get it. Dakota has a great product and great warranty. I happen to have an extensive background with batteries and electrical systems so it was easy for me to do my own research and testing to find a quality lower priced alternative.

I literally covered that in the video saying that it would be in three parts and when we do the On the Water review it will give us a much better opportunity to do all of the features with close ups and real world video. We will try to do better in the future about showing more close ups of the actual features for these walkthrough videos.

Please keep camera on kayak, no reason to show yourself at all times.

Thanks for the feedback.

This is not even close to the best motorized kayak, how about the only kayak that comes motorized. I have a Native Titan 13.5 that I have mounted where the pedal drive goes powered by a Dakota Lithium 100ah battery and it is light years better than anything Old town has on the market. My Titan is bigger, wider, holds more weight, has more storage, steers better, handles rough water better, the list goes on. I will end this here as what you are saying is more of a paid promotion than actual facts. I would put any amount of money that my Titan would out perform this Old Town any day.
