Buying used pedal drive fishing kayaks is a great way to save some money and get out on the water without waiting for your local retailer to get stocked. However, you want to ensure you are getting the most bang for your buck and a good value by not overpaying and buying a damaged kayak. Here I take you step by step through what I would look for when buying a used pedal kayak especially if I didn't have the chance to use it on the water.
Thanks for watching!

Even as a seasoned kayaker who’s owned multiple yaks throughout the years, this is valuable. Hadn’t even thought of the flashlight in the scupper holes. IIRC, in one of your vids you said something about wanting to do this platform to help & teach people about the sport of kayak/fishing. With more people just getting into the game and the challenges of inflation, this upload is tremendous in helping one buying a used yak. 👍🏻

The only pedal drive I ever bought was a hobie . I never used the peddle drive , I bought it because it was cheap. I never even used the pedal drive while I owned it . Knee and hip is finally going to cut on soon after 20 years of pain . I am hoping I might be up to trying one when I heal up .

As usual, Tyler does a Great Job explaining all of the Important aspects of Kayaks, fishing gear, and fish. I bought my Old Town 120 Salty last summer off Tyler’s strong video.

Great info I was just looking up used kayaks last night! Looking to upgrade from my pelican catch 120. Thank you sir 🤗

Great video - I do not have a pedal drive but there are key areas you identified to keep an eye on - thxx

I almost bought a Riot mako peddle kayak from someone on craiglist, so glad the guy sold it to someone that showed up before me, riot mako's from what I have read are crap.

They are not that great.

Great video! Curious what your opinion of the Boonedox landing system is……

I would always go with the optional chicken, you just never know when you might need one. Good info! At some point I suspect I'll be putting it to good use.

That was pretty cool to watch. I like how you went over the actual listings and told us that you value the Old Town warranty at about $500. Thanks!

Tyler , have you ever had any concerns about car topping the Old Town Kayaks in hot summer days especially with the black color on them,doing long road trip’s or stopping for any length of time in the sun? Have you had or seen any warping of kayaks? On another note could you to do a video on the landing nets you like to use for different species of fish if you could? Good Fishing!

They will get dents if left tightened on the roof rack in 100 F heat just like my any kayak would. I release the tension on the kayaks in the heat when parked and that prevents it. If I forget I can take them off and flip them in the sun and they pop back out.

I’m 6’4” and weigh 330, (former college lineman) would one of these fit me comfortably? Can the seat go back for taller folks? Also is there a weight limit? I’d love to get one of these for days where I’m out alone.

The Sportsman's PDL 120 and Hobie Pro Anglers all have usable capacity of around 400 lbs with adjustable seat or pedals for taller folks

@bduals207 2 года назад

Sportsman 132 is 500+lbs iirc

I’m 6’4” 275-285 on a good day. I have a Hobie outback and I fit it comfortably. The Hobie seat capacity is only listed at 275lbs so that would be my main concern. My Outback hull weight capacity is 425lbs and I have taken mine in the ocean on some rougher days and never felt unsafe or like I was going to tip with full gear and ice. I max out the pedals in the furthest position especially if I am wearing thicker socks, shoes and dry suit but at 6’4” you should be ok. I would definitely lean more towards the Hobie Pro Angler or larger Old Town model if you’re 330lbs.

I'm 6'3" and I love the vantage seat on the pro angler. The armrests are very wide and comfortable.

@greekspeare9526 2 года назад

5'11" 315lbs. ...Native Titan 12 solid as a rock. I can fish standing up, fetch things out of the front hatch, and get things from behind the seat with no problem.

@asully70 2 года назад

Also a chicken….well the chicken is optional 😂

@spiltmilt 2 года назад

I don't like it. For most kayaks the only reasonable place to install it is well behind the seat which defeats the purpose of a kayak cart in carrying the burden of weight. At many of the lakes I fish with busy ramps, the ramps are often long and steep. I'd rather deal with a kayak cart that provides a more balanced load than Boonedox.
