LONO + APEX•PD: Walkthrough with Corey

[@Vitamin-Deez]

awesome but how does it handle with dropping fish onto the platform? Spines and hooks are my biggest fear with inflatables.

[@Baseballisdrip3y]

Will it take a fish spine poking

[@gbergma1]

Great to see the rudder flips up if impacted, but what happens if you hit something with the drive in the down position?

[@chriskelvin248]

True, but at least it's directly in front of you so you can manually raise it. The rudder, being out back, would be a real pain to get to immediately.

[@TexasPapa13]

Don’t lock it in place. It’ll kick up if you hit sometime.

[@absebri1010]

Looks great, I was really tempted to get one. Thankfully I watched a review on KZbin and read a few on Amazon that made me think twice after clicking check out. No peddle included, wtf!

[@RealDocJames]

Um, it's clearly stated in the video that it's a separate add on purchase. Why comment like it's hidden or a surprise?

[@joseph335cali]

You did yourself a favor, they sell defective products and don’t stand behind them. Check out review reviews anywhere but on their website and you’ll see the truth. They scrub their reviews for just about anything negative.

[@bretton696969]

As someone else stated, it's cool that the rudder pops up when unexpectedly hitting something in the water. However, the pedal drive itself is deeper than the rudder and I'm sure much more prone to impact. What happens to the pedal drive in the event of hitting bottom/structure accidentally? Do the three swivel locks just break, the drive pop up and you need to purchase new swivellocks? Or will the drive itself be potentially damaged?

[@johnmichaelkarma]

great question,deserves a response

[@TexasPapa13]

Don’t lock in the rear of the pedal drive. It’ll kick up if you hit something. That’s what I do with my native pedal drive

[@bhaubert]

I'll be done fishing and halfway through cleaning my catch from my Hobie by the time you get done blowing that thing up. Haha

[@TopSecretVid]

Doubtful..

[@edwinvonessen1165]

Quite nice but how do you get that down to the beach ? I purchased the inflatable wheel set up but no place to attach it to on the bottom. The 2020 Lono is even difficult for my wife to help carry. Folding it up and getting it back into its roller bag is a chore even after watch in the how to video. I think I want to sell it and get the inflatable sup. A hole lot lighter.

[@josimartaylor303]

So the first version of this bote has no pedal drive. So I took the fin off and installed a electric fin motor. But that motor cost me $400 now I’m mad you guys came out with this version

[@markwelch7125]

👏Amazing

[@ThinkDifferentish]

Should have started the video wit hit in the bag, take it all out, set it up, then put it back in the bag.

[@TopSecretVid]

the rod rack mounts dont lock in?

[@AC-jh3pn]

Definitely getting one

[@FishHeadsIV]

It would be cool to have an electric motor assist pedal drive

[@maxsim7878]

This version whit a small outboard would be perfect.

[@Kayakmom9]

Can you use a small outboard on this?

[@simongriffith2107]

Is this designed for diving off of ?

[@RealDocJames]

I don't see why you couldn't.

[@investecertoempreendimento916]

Brasil 🇧🇷

[@Goodellsam]

Add an DC electric motor for the pedal drive. Sometimes ya need to beat the wind.

[@RealDocJames]

Pedal harder

[@teop7887]

Hobie's fin drive is far superior.

[@adamnoel3936]

All in price is now 3700+ I would have paid $2300 if the price didn't skyrocket but no way am I paying almost 4 grand for a blow up boat with a pedal system.

[@weirdfishweirdfish6636]

This boat would get destroyed in Texas saltwater oyster would RIP it up

[@BoteBoard]

Oyster beds can be a bother sometimes. Most of our aero boards and kayaks are designed with a triple layer design and if you have any questions about them always reach out and ask.

[@joseph335cali]

The apex is insanely heavy, like in the 40lb range. It also doesn’t fit well in the port and rattles and moves all over the place making a ton of noise. The steering for the rudder system isn’t a cable, it’s just a piece of cheap string that isn’t likely to last very long. Cool concept but VERY poorly and cheaply executed.
