I like those kayak trailers. Usually, shops just have kayaks, you're on your own finding a trailer..
This shop seems to have a kayak and trailer package when you finance the package. This needs to happen to all the shops.

For a guy like me with a spinal fusion and no ability to twist and paddle for many hours, this is the perfect unit. You want something little, get something little. But others feel more freedom and safety with something like this.

Weight capacity would be a non issue on boats this size because all of the essentials are already configured into the design. Just add motor and battery and bring rods and tackle boxes. In the past weight capacity was more of an issue because guys were adding stuff to kayaks that weren't designed to accommodate so much equipment. These state of the art kayaks are built with these things in mind from day one. I think it would take a tremendous amount of effort to overwhelm one of these. These things look like they could handle anything any angler could throw at it. Assuming we stick strictly to fishing equipment. If you're kayak camping and bringing tents, sleeping bags, cooking equipment etc. Now we have to start thinking about weight capacity again. These look awesome.

I love how these boats are being designed. You can put anything on them. A gas outboard, electric outboard, and your trolling motor. Electronics, lights, live wells built into the boat. And then buy a small trailer, do your DIY Mods to fit your vessel. And keep it in your garage. Keeping all your accessories on-board. Epic Aliex. 💯 😎 🎣

Best Bonafide fishing kayak i've seen as far as layout for a bigger kayak. Awesome design Bonafide.

AWESOME,THESE LOOK GREAT,IM 6'4" WITH SIZE 15 FEET 265 POUNDS......THESE ARE THE KAYAKS I NEED

I think you both had a lot of good takes on your observations. I really really like the standing deck and want that in a kayak now lol. I don't like how they stopped the decking to make their own 'section' for the battery, I hope the change that in version 2 for next year. I agree that they, and all should now, have put inserts for power poles on both sides in the back - Guru did it right!

Kayak tournaments need to have weight classes like 600lb- 700lb 12ft capacity compared to a 450lb - 350lb 10ft capacity. Or even motorized and non- motorized. A fishing kayak series in Ohio had the championship at a non-electric lake for years.
Nice video Aliex!
I would go with go with Wilderness if running front Spot Lock and XTR130 running NK300 stern.
But with my budget, it's going be the LTE with a Bixpy K1. I would like the pedal/ motor combo.

Great comparison on two boats that awesome to see the new innovations in the kayak fishing world, i got into it back 5 yrs ago and the innovations in 5yrs alone are remarkable id suggested buying one soon before prices go up 😅

i got the wilderness,pro=super stable and a lot of storage,cons=water get inside the 2 small storage box and the bottom floor act like a skimmer,you get tons of bubble/foam on those hole and the water wont run out and you have your feet on the water all days long if you dont put plugs in those hole..

I had a bit of a chuckle, when comparing these large kayaks, skiff or small boats in this video, I spot up high on the retailer wall an old Ocean Kayak Scupper Pro kayak. Simplicity exemplified.

@anthonyvespia6662 1 year ago

I love Dave's shop, it's my favorite. And that's a real kayak shop. Definitely the best in all of Florida. I love how they're both on trailers. Definitely TB's Aliex. I'm giving the edge to the tactical pro. 😎 💯

Always great content my friend ! 😎👍👍

Lots of kayak companies copy some of the features of the Pelican Catch PWR 100 but this 2 not only copy some things they exceeded and immproved dramatically. Man this two are very nice! But I will choose the Wilderness Systems Tactical Pro 128.

@DaPredz 1 year ago

Was anyone else here waiting for them to talk about the sportsman,(actual kayak), and all the features of the new model?

I sold my old town predator 12 pdl because I had to trailer it. I bought an old town 106 min kota and I love it. Fits in my truck and is easy to get in and out. I have a 20ft StarCraft superfisherman for big water. Use my kayak way more often
