Inflatable Fishing Kayak - Prymal Predator HD330 Unboxing and First time using

[@maasam21]

Nice shared video. I like it

[@peterRobinson10101]

your a big man and that adds a lot to the value of the review. Seemed ro cope well with you onboard.

[@AdamKilpatrick]

Yes and Yes, even now it’s great. The other day I fully loaded it up with fishing gear, crayfish pots and other gear for a whole day on the water. It handled the day with no problems. I do use a small collapsible laundry tub to handle sharps, fish, crabs and crays just in case of piercing but that’s a bit of common sense. Its been a very reliable little boat to date

[@peterRobinson10101]

@@AdamKilpatrick yes. i just sold a. 8.4m pilot house trailerboat. It was just too much work to tow and clean and maintain and launch etc. Im seriously considering pulling the trigger on one of these (they are cheap!) its just the best way to power it now......

Great video, mate. Tell the missus to move that knee. Swimming and bending/ stretching works great. I've got arthritis in both knees, but currently, I'm good.

[@joe_ful02]

Hey mate, reckon you could do an update video on how its holding up?

[@AdamKilpatrick]

Coming soon, hint it’s great

[@c_geary]

How hook safe are these things. If I got a big cod in there flipping around with the trebbles exposed?

[@AdamKilpatrick]

Been pretty good so far and had no problems. The material is pretty tough. I personally carry a plastic pop out container to use when bringing fish in, sorting crabs and cutting bait. Haven’t had a issue but no need to push my luck lol 😂

[@TrevorDrake-yh2hm]

hi Adam, in another Video i saw you paired the Kayak up with a Snake electric motor, what model was it? thanks and keep up the good work.

[@AdamKilpatrick]

That was a Water Snake electric motor.

[@bradbergstrum6371]

Hi Adam I know you have answered plenty but is it hard to paddle against wind etc compared to a more narrow inflatable kayak. I have paddled my wife’s double Kings inflatable kayak which isn’t as wide and that was okay and $200. This is a lot more expensive but much more stable and I am leaning this way. Just need to know it can be paddle quite easy. PS I am a big bloke and the better back support of the seat interests me. Many Thanks

[@AdamKilpatrick]

Being so light it paddles quite easily, the fin underneath is vital for tracking. Haven’t had any problems paddling up wind. I also use the electric outboard which makes a very casual session fishing

[@stevengill5931]

Nice vid mate, I bought one but haven't tried it out yet. Feeling keen now after watching. I was wondering about the fin but sounds like it needs to be fitted so cheers for that. Got a 54lb electric to throw on the back so it should scoot along nicely.

[@AdamKilpatrick]

The fin makes a huge difference in paddling. They move really well in the water

[@Two-nj6lj]

nice lake. where is that at

[@AdamKilpatrick]

Wivenhoe Dam

[@huxelectrical531]

Hey bud, what type of prop would you use for this??

[@AdamKilpatrick]

I use a 34lbs thrust watersnake with a lithium power pack purely because is what I have already. I thing even a cheap 18lbs thrust would push if ok but it’s always better to have a bit extra

[@collowood]

What size battery please.

[@yep.fishing]

Wow, really does fit in the bag pretty easily.

[@AdamKilpatrick]

Really well designed and pack up is so easy

[@yep.fishing]

I got this sitting in my garage now waiting for the right time to Christen it :)

[@AdamKilpatrick]

@@yep.fishing don’t wait just do it. I love my hard body yak and my boat but the inflatable really opens a whole new world of opportunities

[@Johnsonwps]

Whats the rough dimension when packed in the bag?

[@AdamKilpatrick]

800x350x500

[@yep.fishing]

Ive only had 1 kayak, its a pryml one the still stock, a grey one. Its agile and fast but obviously youd have to sacrifice stability. Id rather have more stability. If I have anything stored behind the chair in it O shit myself when I reach to grab anything. This seems to fit the bill

[@BaileyESPHorizon]

G’day Adam, Great video and super informative! I’ve got this on my Christmas Wishlist from the boss this year but I have a couple of questions that I wouldn’t mind your advice for please. I’m a biggish dude as well … currently at about 130kg and I’ve always wanted a kayak. The weight rating and stability of the this one and the fact that it’s inflatable is super convenient. However, I don’t fish (please don’t judge haha!) How do you think it would go as a casual/recreational kayak? I’ve heard fishing kayaks are a little slower/harder to manoeuvre in faster waters but if I ever got caught out I’d be keen on investing in a small battery powered motor. Cheers mate!

[@AdamKilpatrick]

This kayak is definitely oversized and designed to carry a load. I take the kids out in it just for a paddle and a look around. The boat it’s self is super stable and with the fin on the bottom tracks through the water and turns really well to the point that it surprised me. Adding a motor and a battery pack is super lazy and I am all for it! Lol it makes it a super fun day. But make sure you take your paddle to help turning and as a back up. In general the kayak is slower but manoeuvres fine. It’s easy to set up and pack up and super stable. I also got a SUP PADDLE and can stand up and paddle around. Hope that helps and you get out on the water

[@BaileyESPHorizon]

@@AdamKilpatrick Mate, this information is great! Thanks for taking the time out to answer my question. Haha yeh the motor idea is a little lazy but it will generally be as a back up plan when the strong afternoon sea breeze kicks in over here in Perth!

[@AdamKilpatrick]

@@BaileyESPHorizon I use my motor for trawling lures. It’s a relaxing day out on the water.

[@beenear111]

Great review mate. I'm similar size to you. Do you think it would take a second seat in the front if my wife and I wanted to use it for the odd tandem paddle? (Probably 130kg in the back and 70kg in the front)?

[@AdamKilpatrick]

It’s rated to 200kg but not recommended for more than one person. But in saying that I’ve taken myself and my two boys out for a paddle in it no problems and have loaded it up with fishing gear with no hassles

[@beenear111]

@@AdamKilpatrick thanks. Do you think we would physically with a 2nd seat and enough leg room?

[@AdamKilpatrick]

@@beenear111 I think it would be right. You should be able to check one out at your local BCF

[@mariner135]

Hi i am looking at buying this i just wanted to know what is the max hp rating on this kayak thx

[@AdamKilpatrick]

No idea. Max weight capacity it 200kg so you’d have to work your numbers depending on the weights your carrying including motor and fuel/ battery

[@davidmilledge221]

A 1hp motor will push that faster than u can paddle 😅

[@collowood]

Great video mate I'm your size how comfortable is the seat.

[@AdamKilpatrick]

It’s really good

[@项籍-v9t]

hi could it hold 2 people?

[@AdamKilpatrick]

It’s designed for one person but we’ve had two in it easily

[@1970rpayne]

Awesome review mate I am definitely buying one of these now 👍 😀

[@AdamKilpatrick]

They really are surprisingly good and super stable

[@yep.fishing]

Do you plan on doing a foshing session in it soon for youtibe? Any plans for a motor?

[@AdamKilpatrick]

Have got videos soon in the coming weeks. Just took it on a big trip away It opens up a world of opportunities while on the road

[@AdamKilpatrick]

I have a electric motor for it and looking at better batteries options at the moment

[@yep.fishing]

@@AdamKilpatrick yea I have a 60lb and am concerned about the weight distribution with the battery I currently use. Those lithium ion ones look good

[@AdamKilpatrick]

@@yep.fishing well this boat has a 200kg weight capacity so it works out great with carrying extras

[@yep.fishing]

@@AdamKilpatrick I was worried about the balance moreso when sitting down

[@fanielategan5547]

Hey mate, how's that kayak holding up 9 months later. I'm seriously considering it. Is it still holding up?

[@AdamKilpatrick]

Still love it. It’s been solid as a rock and great fun. I did get a collapsible tub to use when bringing fish in and for using knife. But that in my mind was just the smart thing to do. As the weather warms up you’ll see it in more videos and in considering using it for a spearfishing trip. I’m also considering getting a 12volt pump for it and been looking at a SUP

[@MrTrymyluck]

Hey mate,Im seriously thinking about getting one of these. They havent sold well over here in WA, any reasons? They seem to tick all the boxes Any issues at all with yours?

[@AdamKilpatrick]

I think they haven’t sold well everywhere. There is a stigma about inflatables that people think low quality and cheap (AKA a piece of crap). The reality is that inflatables are used for yachts tenders, pack rafting and whitewater rafting if they are made from the right materials. So far I haven’t had any issues at all with mine. It’s solid and light in the water and can hold a load of gear. It’s easy to transport and easy to set and pack up. I personally have hard body Viking kayak as well and love it but the Predator fits for some locations and tips way better and I honestly haven’t had a issue with it at all and as you said it ticked all the boxes. I hope that helps

[@MrTrymyluck]

[@therealslimsht4522]

how much did you pay for it? dont tell me you paid $1300 for it

[@AdamKilpatrick]

I didn’t pay that price. They do specials when the are under $1000. The quality is definitely worthy of the price tag though. They are made from good materials and solid on the water. It kind of messes with my head because it is a really good boat to paddle, super stable and easy to use. To buy a high quality inflatable kayak or pack yak your normally looking well over $2000.

Fair enough, that’s your choice, the only one missing out here is you and that doesn’t effect my day at all. I still run with my Viking Kayak because they are awesome but needed a travel yak for certain trips we do. We researched the boat and this surprisingly ticked all the boxes then surpassed our expectations.
