Crescent Kayak Review CK1, Shoalie, and Ultralite

[@livoutside]

Great review of your Crescent boats! It's great to have you share your experience and insight on the designs. Crescent is definitely one of the most innovative brands we have the pleasure to be importing and i think the best consistent quality we have ever seen in the 25 years of business up here in Muskoka!

I can second the quality, I have put all my boats through a lot without issue.

CK1 and UL breakdowns are spot on. Great reviews 🙌🏼

[@RiverSmalliesOn]

Thanks, both are really amazing boats. If I can get my hands on a Primo I expect really good things.

Thanks for the video. I purchased a Primo from Liv Outside in the spring. It is my first kayak for fishing and I wanted something light and simple. It is a great little boat.

[@RiverSmalliesOn]

Light and simple is my favorite way to fish, the Ultra lite and the Primo both have that in common. That boat will serve you well.

Great review! I have a Primo and have been well pleased.

[@RiverSmalliesOn]

Thanks, unless they come out with an even better small kayak, a Primo may be in my future

Awesome job on the walk through!

[@RiverSmalliesOn]

Thanks! this was a complete departure from my usual stuff.

Nice walkthrough

@@TheCatchPod Thanks, would have been on the water, but weather is a little messy

I got the Primo in the spring this year, and I like fishing out of it. It's pretty lightweight, and I've got plenty of room in it.👊👍

[@RiverSmalliesOn]

That kayak with the upgrade kit would be my next choice.

Since you have both, does the CK1 drag in the shallows way more than the Shoalie? And is the CK1 significantly easier to move around since it is lighter?

[@RiverSmalliesOn]

The CK1 does drag a little more in very shallow water, mostly on the keel. The weight difference is quite noticeable as I have to ramp the Shoalie onto the top of my car from the back, and the CK1 can be lifted overhead and placed on the racks. The Shoalie is a purpose built system, the CK1 is an all arounder.
