Nucanoe Frontier 12 kayak with outboard motor for hunting and fishing

Nucanoe Frontier 12 kayak, with a 2.5hp outboard motor, wide enough to fish from while standing up. A great option for getting places not easily accessible for fishing & hunting. I also make an affordable sturdy kayak cart from a hand truck, as well as an engine stand from a smaller hand truck.

stumbled on your page, underdog? naaa pretty darn cool set up! i have had my f12 since 2016 and i still love it! with the new unlimited out there i know my next boat. tight lines

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thank You! My buddy just got the Unlimited & we took it out today, side by side with my F12, it's very nice, the handle in the back is much better & the handles/paddle holders on each side are very nice. Not a huge difference in performance or fishability, the F12 is still awesome.

3:28 I bought the outboard plate for $100, my friend took it to the local metal shop who copied it for $20 its been on his kayak for months no problems. FYI also, Home depot $3/foot rubber matt works hreat as a full bottom keel protector when applied with polyethaline epoxy adhesive.

I like these kind of blue collar projects like your kayak cart. So simple and effective. God bless you this coming season

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thanks brother!

Hello there saw your comment on outdoor in Maryland, That is a fantastic Idea to move around the Kayak. you have a great kayak, thank you and take care my friend

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@kevinandrew1851]

Been doing a lot of research on a new kayak. F12 is in my top 2! The other is the Jackson Bite FD, not sure where I will end up. Anyone with experience one way or the other would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for this video by the way, very helpful!

[@bucktalesoutdoors7566]

If I hadn’t gone with the peddle drive of the Native Slayer, this was the Kayak I was going to get . I absolutely love the swivel seat. That is an awesome kayak, you are going to be very happy with your choice. The Suzuki will be a game changer. Looking forward to seeing you and your new toy in action. Great review Andy , Congrats !

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thanks Don, appreciate the feedback. I like the peddle drive because you can peddle back & stay in position, but was interested in the gas motor. Can't wait to fish with it.

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

That’s a great looking setup! That will be a great tight spot/swallow water rig 👍

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thanks Brother.

[@michaelcarbo9356]

Great video once again. Love the chair

[@underdogoutdoors]

Michael, you are so kind.

[@ronielaurito23]

Amazing videos good content keep sharing I'm watching from japan... Keep safe I'm waiting for your another videos

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thanks brother! I appreciate the kind words.

[@FishyAngler]

That is some serious power right there. 👍 I’m thinking about a motor for my yak, but it most likely be an electric one.

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thanks, I still have not tested it on the water, I just got an electric on Amazon & likely will use it more than the gas.

[@TWC6724]

I really want this model. I love that you can fish one or two people.

[@underdogoutdoors]

Far as kayaks go, this one is a beast.

[@AngelmanBlog]

At the 6:36 mark you caught me for I thought I was experiencing dejavu. :)

[@underdogoutdoors]

Yes, it was an editing blooper that I decided to let go! Thanks for watching!

[@AngelmanBlog]

@@underdogoutdoors loved the video overall and about to get our new Frontier 12. That blooper got me thinking it was my old-timers. :)

[@underdogoutdoors]

@@AngelmanBlog You'll love the Frontier 12, I also own an F10 & it's great. I use the Newport electric trolling motor with a cheap deep cycle lead acid battery from Walmart. No need for a gas motor unless your fighting river current.

[@TWC6724]

Also, thanks for the review of the Suzuki motor. I may go with this one instead of the Honda.

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thanks for the kind words. I think either motor will work well. I'm happy with the Suzuki.

[@brocklanders6011]

Excellent description

[@anonymous_friend]

I’ve seen some bow mount trolling motors on this boat. Having spotlock to anchor would make this a very capable fishing kayak.

[@balam8743]

Thank you for confirming this motor 15 inch short shaft works on a kayak. I was looking all over the interweb to see it on a kayak with the exact same motor I just ordered. How has the motor been treating you and is it holding up?

[@underdogoutdoors]

I still use it regularly, one minor issue I have, every time it sits a while, I remove the spark plug & spray starting fluid- otherwise will tear my rotator cuff pulling the cord. Once it gets going, it's good for the season. As for a motor, I love it, it works great, bullet proof.

[@balam8743]

@@underdogoutdoors good to hear it's working for you. i fish regular throughout the year so i will not let it sit for any long period of time so it will not be an issue for me.

[@underdogoutdoors]

@@balam8743 Good luck, you will love it once you get used to it. I use an extension rope to start it & have a broom stick with a screw in it, to shift from fwd to neutral.

[@balam8743]

@@underdogoutdoors thank, i did saw that in your other video. i have been binge watching your videos. I subbed. Thanks!

[@fabfishing7422]

Excellent review Brother!!

[@underdogoutdoors]

Much appreciated!!!

[@chevyemert5655]

How’s it handle shallow water? Does it have some sort of kick back system for running into rocks?

[@underdogoutdoors]

I've hit tons of rocks & rocky bottoms, it's light & kicks back, a little scratched but never damaged. I have a spare prop, but never needed it.

[@absfood7142]

Nice video of the Nucanoe Frontier 12 kayak with outboard motor for hunting and fishing. Enjoyed and liked. New here. 10:25

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thank you, I appreciate you watching.

[@rod.jordan]

Great Review! Thank You!

[@cherylcapparell3522]

Thanks for sharing the video!

[@robertmitchell6651]

Great setup! I have the original Frontier with a 2hp Tohatsu... how much was the Suzuki? How much spare gas do you carry when you go out?

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thanks! I don't usually carry any spare gas, but I'm still new at this. I like to go upstream with the motor & drift back with the current.

[@robertmitchell6651]

@@underdogoutdoors I’m fishing in Jamaica Bay and the South Shore of Long Island in NY ...I carry a two gallon spare gas can with me...always... Tight lines and Happy Holidays bro!

[@unlimitedj06]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@odin210]

I love my F12, been hunting ducks with her for 2 years now. Been using a trolling motor but I’m really thinking of upgrading to that Suzuki to save on weight. What size gas tank are you running and how far have you gone?

[@underdogoutdoors]

It's an internal gas tank, not sure the capacity, but it runs for about an hour, & still had gas. I don't even carry any spare fuel. Usually I run against the current up river & then drift back.

[@anonymous_friend]

Do you use a layout blind in it?

[@underdogoutdoors]

@@anonymous_friend I haven't personally used it for hunting yet, but lots of people do.

[@randalldisch1725]

What paddle is that?

[@underdogoutdoors]

I think it's a Werner? I will double check. Got it on Amazon for about $180.

[@SeasonsChange24]

Great work! I like the mods on the dolly. What lake was that?

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thanks brother, that was Round Valley reservoir in New Jersey.

[@CB-iu5ju]

Nice review, how do you like the 360 degree seat? I have a bad shoulder and have a hard time reaching behind me in my current setup, that seat looks great. Also I love the idea of using a dolly for transport.

[@underdogoutdoors]

Thank You. I didn't know how I would like the 360 seat, now after using it a season, I can't live without it, highly recommend it.

[@anthonyhull3539]

where is the gas stored

[@underdogoutdoors]

Sorry for the delay, it has an built in (to the motor) fuel tank. Sips fuel, goes a long way.
