Nucanoe Pursuit, why I chose it and love it

[@wechuckin4415]

Thanks for making this video! You really inspired me to stop complaining and get to it. Thanks again!

[@jagermiker]

LOL, thank you!

[@rickpillen7853]

You have convinced me this is the boat for me.

[@ericguerra7122]

is your buddy okay he seems to be breathing pretty heavy lol nice boat tho

[@ShoahBiz]

Great to see you found a boat that works for you, and you can still do what you love. I've become infatuated with this boat ever since I first laid eyes on it at my local dealer (for many of the same reasons you listed for choosing this boat) , and I'm finally able to afford it, with one being shipped to me now. I have some seadek ordered as well, the 6mm version, which looks to be what you have. I was worried the padding on the front crate space would interfere with the slide drawer, and couldn't find anything with some quick google searches. I'm glad I found this video because it seems to quell my concerns, as I see you have the seadek and the slide drawer. Seems to work great!

[@jagermiker]

Hi Anthony. Thanks for the comments and yes, you are correct about the 6mm SeaDek. The kit is phenomenal and does not interfere with the operation of the side drawer at all. I have no doubt that you'll love the SeaDek just as much as you'll love your new Pursuit!

[@gcxred4kat9]

Right on buddy, you're an inspiration!

[@BoxingFishingGuy]

Mainly fish the bays on the Texas coast. Thinking of either the pursuit or frontier 12, plan to add a small outboard. Seems like the the pursuit would be better for the chop of the bay, but it would be fun have a tandem set up so my wife could go with sometimes. Decisions...

[@jagermiker]

If wanting the possibility of going tandem and for use with an outboard motor, I'd definitely go with the Frontier 12. The Pursuit is a fantastic premium fishing kayak but for what you've described, I think the F12 would be more versatile and serve as a dual purpose fishing kayak.

Thanks sir for the great video

[@jagermiker]

You're very welcome, and thank YOU!

[@423alonso]

Great review Sir. I got to check them out I need one for Miami FL salt and fresh water fishing thank you for sharing God bless...

[@jagermiker]

I think if you were to test paddle one, you'd be very pleased. Thank you for your comment and if I may be of any help please reach out!

I'm a T-7 paraplegic, Im glad to see someone else as driven as myself, I just got a lifetime tamerack a few months back and I'm ready to upgrade already. As you know seating is important, so how is that seat for long durations of sitting?

[@jagermiker]

Thanks for your comment Gary! I find the seat to be very comfortable. All day trips are a breeze, no worries there. I've fished for 8 hour tournaments without pain and even one that was a 12 hour trip. When I do get uncomfortable or need to relieve pressure, I can lay the seat back and lay back somewhat to ease my bad back (fused from C5 to my hips). I do use my seat cushion from my wheelchair when I'll be out for extended periods but even without it, I've never had any issues.

[@tasaman]

Great setup. Think I'm still gonna go with the Frontier to carry more stuff for hunting.

[@jagermiker]

The Frontier is an excellent choice and one I'm sure you'll love it!

[@joshstewart2296]

I'm saving up to get one.

[@blkseed777]

Just got a 2019 pursuit no swivel seat base was included do you like it better with swivel base? And have you noticed if you lean with all your weight to one side it seems to want to tip over?

[@jagermiker]

The swivel base became an option in 2019. Most like it if running a trolling motor or if they want to turn sideways and dangle their feet in the water. I personally don't use it other than for transferring in and out. If the seat is sideways and you lean back it will definitely get your attention but I've never flipped.

[@blkseed777]

@@jagermiker i weight 205 and i flip in mines first day out droped my stakeout pole it was sinking and leaned over to reach for it from my hand to elbow in the water still sitting in the seat and it flipped not blaming the kayak jusr trying to figure what i did wrong was the seat to high in medium postion or my leaning all weight to one side head over the water did it just trying to get some wisdom.

[@jagermiker]

Yeah, if you did that while still in the seat, I'd say you pushed it too far. The Pursuit is super stable but like everything else, has its limitations. Add the fact that you had practically your entire body weight leaning over the side combined with the high center of gravity, that'll do it. Especially since you probably did it quickly since you were going after your sinking stakeout pole.

[@blkseed777]

@@jagermiker thanks alot

[@aaron4156]

good to see people that cant do everything Do everything

[@brandonhill6068]

can you move the seat all the way forward and back on those tracks?

[@jagermiker]

Absolutely. You can slide the seat forward and back to trim it out or to sit where you want. You can also add a companion seat to the tracks.

[@brandonhill6068]

ok thanks

[@valoryfuerza4894]

hey Mike. I'm looking to buy my wife this kayak. does it handle chop well? we do a lot of saltwater fishing but we stay in the bay so it's a little more sheltered.

[@illduitmyself]

the hull design is made for that

[@jagermiker]

Sorry for the delay in responding. As Rick pointed out, the hull is designed to slice through chop and does a very good job of it. The only thing to take into consideration is the spacing between the waves but that affects everyone.
