Old Town Sportsman Salty PDL 120 Overview / Review / Modifications

[@Discobalz]

Nice set-up!! I got my Salty last June and was only able to take it out a few times. I was also a little surprised about the drive seeming "tight". I still cruise super fast 4 or 5 mph pretty comfortably.... but definitely not the "Butter" i hear others mention. How long did it take for yours to loosen? Thanks!! PS Im making a storage cart in the next few weeks, if you have any tips i'd love to hear them.

Thanks! I actually sold the Salty and bought a jon boat, so it's been a while. I want to say it took 6-8 trips before it really loosened up. About the cart, I found a video a while ago, a guy built one for (I think) a Hobie. I used that design. Unfortunately I can't find that video.

Found it! I followed this design, worked perfectly and made loading and unloading it from my truck so much easier. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rInYemaYnqZsnrcsi=aW6IPI0wrdHOungL

Nice set up! Is it heavy to load and launch?

[@freshwatersbassfishing]

Thanks! I think it's about 90 pounds but not difficult to load on my truck bed.

Is the pouch on your seat and the pouch on the basket the same ones?

[@freshwatersbassfishing]

They are different. The pouch on the crate (I have actually removed it) was from the Plano Soft Crate.
