So glad you did the upside down test. No one tests like that! I do that in all my kayaks so I got to give it to ya, hands upside down, best review!

[@jrscout1145]

I just have to tell how much you are appreciated. There is a guy in the RV world named Josh with Haylett RV and his focus is to provide information to educate folks on all products RV whether they are able to purchase from him or not. You are that guy for the paddling community. I guess after this video we should say the Small Watercraft community. We live here in Palm Harbor Florida(across the bay from Tampa) and you make us feel like we are just around the corner. You are a great guy with a great mission and we appreciate all you do. Jim

[@HeadwatersKayak]

JR Scout that’s super kind. I appreciate you taking the time to share that.

The best part of this video was the awesome rescue technique at the end! Pretty important stuff

The headstand is pretty important to no?

[@luz3888]

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzbin.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

[@mattholley1237]

I have recently gotten interested in getting a fishing kayak because of the shoreline for most of the bodies of water where I live. Headwaters Kayak's videos continue to impress me with the information that they provide and the real reviews of the stuff that they talk about. Love that you did an example of how to get back in a kayak in this video. I haven't seen that before.

[@stargatetitanx]

i have been scared to get into kayaking but this mini boat aka Jonny Boats Bass 100 might be what gets me into it

Lake Camanche that was my old stomping grounds. Grew up in that small town Ione. Moved out of Cal. Year and a half ago but was there in Ione since 74. That was a great review. The head stand was epic, don’t think anyone else would do that. Nice boat also.

[@searchingforsomethingAA44K]

SOLO SKIFF

[@slacktide_angler]

Dan, you make a great point about self-rescue with a motor. How does that work out? With a gas motor you have at least a 40lb weight on the rear, and a gas tank. With a trolling motor, youve got a big heavy battery which hopefully is affixed to the boat in the event it flips...or for the sake of getting back on and getting back to safety, maybe not. In all reality, a tow is probably in order. IMO, I'd stick with at most a pedal drive.

[@FT4Freedom]

Yes. Soon as it flips that motor is done. Quite a problem for far away from home.

[@CrucesNomad1]

I went with the Pelican Catch PWR 100 due to some options I really liked. These are the future .

Alvin Wine perfect tool for the job.

[@packinaglock]

I live in Florida too bud and have been kinda tossing the Kayak thing around in my head. The thing holding me back is gators. I have two job boats but the Kayak sits so low in the water. Does that bother you at all?

[@daltonvaughn1547]

packinaglock you would think they’d be a problem but actually the gators (assuming they haven’t been fed) are more intimidated by how far above the waterline you are than how long the boat is. I’ve kayaked and paddle boarded around gators for a while now and I’d only be worried if I fell off 😂

[@chrisfisher3900]

It would be nice to see it with one of the fixed Jonny pods and rudder, looks really fast with that motor!

[@HenauderTitzauf]

I had a 16’ boat with two seats, 25 hp Chrysler, and the driver seat was up front. If you have to steer in that very uncomfortable position, it needs stick steering. My boat had stick steering, GREAT. The stick was on the right side, throttle on left side. Just my 2 cents about sore shoulders and a good style fishing rig.

[@HeadwatersKayak]

Right that is an accessory that is available. I just didn’t have it yet and I wanted to play with my new toy.

[@howabouthetruth2157]

Seems like a really good value. For those interested, an actual Torqueedo rep has a youtube channel ( sorry, I can't recall his name) and his top speed in one of the better, larger Jackson fishing kayaks IN PROTECTED, CALM WATER was 5 mph with the Torqueedo. Of course his Jackson is heavier than this craft. I wonder if this Jonny boat can handle a 2.5 hp outboard. If so, you could save a ton of money on power........and still go much faster than the Torqueedo.

[@HeadwatersKayak]

Howabouthetruth yes it’s meant to take a 2.5 and I’ve seen guys run up to 6hp. They don’t advise it though. Was Jeff (from Torqeedo) using a travel motor?

[@howabouthetruth2157]

@@HeadwatersKayak That's good to know. He was using the top of the line Torqueedo for kayaks, with the deluxe battery ( whatever it's called )........I was kind of shocked that it only ran 5 mph top speed in calm water in his big Jackson. He was comparing performance against the Bixby. The video is less than 2 years old I believe. Of course it blew away the Bixby, and I really like the Torqueedo........but they are way too greedy. I know for a fact it takes far more labor, materials, and machining to produce a small gas powered outboard, vs an electric.......yet they charge double.....or more. It's sad actually. They could chop the price in half, and sell SO many more Torqueedo's, that it would more than make up for the smaller profit margin. The way they are priced now, they are LOSING far too much market share. ( This whole "global warming/climate change" thing is nothing but a proven scam anyway. If people want go after A REAL problem about "mankind vs Earth".......they need to go after the military industrial complex and their 24/7 spraying of chem trails. They and their contractors are spraying all over the world, even over the open oceans.........365 days a year. It's so wicked & despicable. ) I believe you are going to sell the Jonny boat like hot cakes!!! Keep up the great work Brother, and tight lines!!! Long time subscriber Steve........Melbourne, Fl.

[@Poonslaya]

This boat- can out riggers be attached to it? If so and I decided to put a 6hp motor on it would it be suitable to take it out on open water fishing around coast of the North Sea in calm conditions 🫣

[@kriskuehn3852]

KBF might as well expect bass buggy or those Coleman boat if they allow that... Cool little boat looks like a lot of fun

[@HeadwatersKayak]

I agree the lines are being burred. Decisions made early on kinda set the stage for things like this to be excepted. IMO it should have stayed human powered, and non of this stuff would exist. With that said Hoover and crew has done more for this sport and I ever dreamed, so I cant really complain.

[@robertyoung9467]

This was so great

[@dgriffin6074]

The speed attainable is directly proportional to the LOA (Length Over All); so, a 10' kayak will not travel as fast as a 12' kayak. The same applies to, for example, sailboats. Also, the shorter the kayak the more frequently one has to make directional changes. My Old Town 10 footer requires more course adjustments than my 12 footer.

Except for tight creeks, mangrove tunnels and cypress swamps, I would rather have a Grumman Canoe squareback with a motor. But, there are a lot of places where a trolling motor on a "One Man Boat" is the ticket to catching the fish. Reminds me of a Creek Boat M98.

Pretty cool little boat. Good review. That said, if you don’t want a real boat, just want something with a trolling motor just to fish out of, you just can’t beat the Pelican Bass Raider. Stable as can be, tons of room and you can just throw in the back of the truck or top of the car. Pelican is also way cheaper.

[@HeadwatersKayak]

Dre Sted those have a place too. If I lived on a private pond I’d have one with a little trolling motor. With that said this thing with a gas motor would cover miles and you just can’t do that in a bass raider. We are seeing hairs being split in the industry. So many niches being flushed out.
