Old Town AutoPilot 120. The true cost and is it worth it?

[@stevenl34]

That is one nice setup, looks totally worth it. I'm still old school with a 14' sit one top paddle kayak I have had for 15 years but it does have a gps Depth finder with the same small battery. I'm 70 and use it for fishing and exercise. Nice video

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

Crushing it at 70 is great my friend. Nothing better than being on the water.

[@tomyot77]

Thanks for evaluation and costs

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

I'm still loving my kayak. In the Keys fishing with it now. Thanks for watching

[@LaraKelly569]

You know I love mine!! Worth it!!

[@tracybrunner]

I bought a 120 and it’s my first kayak. I’m setting it up now and this video really helped. Can’t wait to get out on the water!

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

You will love it. Glad you like the video.

[@rubenakacoolerlid2314]

I bought in 2021 and I still smile when I go out on it so yes it's worth itr

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

Love to hear that. Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@michaelelainekelly2123]

Love the Old Town kayak !!!

[@SRH420ful]

LOL sorry for another post but something you need to know. Your auto pilot connections WILL start to corrode unless you bath them in lithium grease. Keep tools and supplies ready and know how to hotwire direct to your battery if necessary. I watched a good friend need to hotwire his system just last week

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

Thanks for the Info. Really good information.

[@SharkForge29]

Liked and subscribed! Awesome breakdown of what you use!! I've been looking to get into fishing now that I moved down to SWFL! This looks SO fun!

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

It's a blast. I moved down from Ohio 3 years ago and it's totally a different world. Fishing is fantastic. Thanks for subscribing

Good video. I have an Outback. About 1k less invested including my Lowrance. I do like the exercise I get using the fin drive. I can also get into skinny areas with a flutter kick. But again, good video.

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

When I was shopping for a kayak I looked at the Hobie Outback I almost went that route. But the Spot-Lock is what sold me on the Old Town.

Nice job! Very helpful to itemize the costs

[@hdspringer98]

Why do you have a second battery for the Garmin if your 100a battery lasts days and days?

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

It was easer for me to add the extra battery than trying to splice it into my 100a battery. Plus some days I troll all day and want to make sure I have plenty of battery.

[@_Stetsi]

Not bad. A little over the top as it relates to the extras. Lots of "nice to have"s that I would not classify as "needs". ProTip: I've wheeled & dealed ALL my gear off FB marketplace, and saved a LOT that way- including the Yak itself.

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

Thanks for the info. Good tip on the marketplace.

[@WhitchurchFishing1]

Well when you talk about true cost for the old town lets be honest some of that cost is markup other wise good video

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

Good point. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@SRH420ful]

Very nice kayak with all the good features but my research led me to a Brooklyn 13ft kayak with trolling motor and steering between my legs all for $1600 on Amazon delivery included. My 2 batteries totaling 130AH (all weekend power) fit easily in the front compartment giving me the under seat area for a sweet gear set up. I also have stabilizers since I fish Florida's coastal waters and inlets which means I can fish any conditions and stand up and throw my cast net. I have dual beam fish finder and a 48 qt yetti cooler in the back and honestly I spent half what you spent

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

Sounds like a really nice setup. What is your favorite fish to fish for ?

[@allkindsofoutdooractivities]

Wow beautiful set up! Good job

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

Thank you!

[@VictoryVideoVault]

I feel like you're paying for the name. I was just at Dick's and the regular ones (not peddle driven) were 4 times the price of some nice Pelicans with the same features

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

I love my kayak but I can't disagree with you. I am sure part of the price is the name.

[@johndubinsky8415]

bro what radio you got? and where you hit in tb?

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

I usually fish Cockroach Bay and Piney Point. My radio is a Cobra. Thanks for watching.
