Thanks for the review for the Mk1 and Mk2. I've just recently ordered one because of your feedback on them. Cheers

Thanks mate, I've enjoyed using both the mk1 and MK2, they are awesome kayaks no matter which one you choose, you can't go wrong. I've order some stabilisers from kayak 2 fish and will be doing a video on them in the next couple of weeks

Thnx for the review. I wish your review started at unpacking the kayak... I got mine yesterday and run into few small issues. Just for the record I will mention them here, perhaps will be useful to someone. 1- Rudder assembly didn’t have the locking pin installed and become undone completely while installing. It took me a while to figure this out as I have never had rudder before. I used a ss screw - lucky I had one just the right size. Also there are 3 bolt holes on the left plastic cap, mine did not have any screw on them either. Not sure whether it must be bolted or optional, i did it anyways just to make sure. I used small ss screws to secure the cap in place. Rudder washer was too tall/big. Rudder security pin could not be installed when washer is used. I had to shave off about 3mm with a file. 2. middle handle cap was lose. It did not came off but looked too flimsy. I secured both left/right caps with zipties. 3 I found 2 screws were not tight enough. One allowed a full turn and the other required 3/4 turn. I have gone through all screws to make sure they are secure. These are small quality issues and easy fixes. Otherwise i am very happy so far. Happy fishing and pls continue with ur video updates. 👍

Sorry to hear that the quality check wasn't done on your kayak buddy the only thing I could fault with mine was the rudder didn't come with a washer just the locking pin. So I just chucked an ss washer on with it. Other than that mine was all good. I know it's just been released as new model so they may still have to work out some kinks but glad to hear yours is in fishing shape.

Same issue for me and my gf. Impossible to fit the washer and the locking pin to the rudder..... I might go to bunnings get some smaller washers.

@@OutdoorFishingLivingMission took my kayak for its first dip Sunday. Very pleased with it. Bit heavier than I am used to but very stable river boat and the high seating position is going to be great to fish from. Rudder system is not the smoothest, but will see if I can do something to improve it. Very impression is very nice.

Hey man I was seriously considering buying this and I was wondering a few things because your kayak is pretty modified does the seat come with the kayak, do you have to buy 2 outriggers individually and is the sunshade a good purchase cheers mate
@OutdoorFishingLivingMission2 жыл бұрын
Hi mate, the outriggers are sold seperate however definitely worth the extra. I didnt bother with the sun shelter as i was worried it would be in the way casting

Great video ..just wondering how easy it is to paddle I've just ordered one and just sold my my old scupper pro which was brilliant at long distance camp trips. I'm just hoping the next gen wont be like paddling a barge. Just thought I'd add my purchase was based on your content so great job.

I love going out in a paddle in the ngII, can feel a little bargish when its fully loaded but when you get going it tracks nicely and paddles great, im also a big guy so probably would be better experience paddling for someone a little lighter

I tried doing one the other day, caught a bream on the $9 Kmart rod, super light weight so was a good fight. But unfortunately had issues with filming so I lost most of the footage, bugger...

show us how you store your rods in the kayaks because I'm scratching my head how
@OutdoorFishingLivingMission5 жыл бұрын
Hey mate this kayak has a storage hatch that goes the length of the kayak, so between home and the launch spots they ride shot gun in the kayak as they are safer in the kayak than in my ute tray as I usually have tools in my tray. But recently I got the outriggers and the bar goes across hatch so it's a bit hard to do that now, slight design flaw. Will do an update video of the kayak soon 👍

What’s the weight for this kayak and how does it track in the wind
@OutdoorFishingLivingMission5 жыл бұрын
Think it comes in at 30kg, still very manageable on your own and with the comfy handles it's easier to move than the old model, with the rudder it tracks nicely and doesn't push you around to bad.
