How To UNLOAD and TRANSPORT Heavy KAYAK to the WATER | Old Town Sportsman PDL 120 Fishing Kayak 

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome info dude

Great info! That Bixby out back looks so good!

thanks for the nice step-by-step. I've got an old PDL. worst part of my day is loading and unloading and am always looking for better ways to tweak the process, short of buying a trailer.

Thanks for the video. I have the salty. This will help tremendously.

good video, thanks!

Excellent instructions

Thank you very much for the advice.

very helpful. thanks!

Thanks good luck fishing

I have a similar setup to this, and if there's a nice boat launch like that just back the truck down into the water a bit and slide the kayak right off, works great for loading and unloading, no need to mess around with the cart. Cheers!

Good job

I tie my cart to the kayak dead center of weight before I pull it from my trailer and I reload wheels to kayak while in the water , easy to pull it to the center, no dragging nose or rudder spinning and lifting to trailer which over time adds up

Good stuff - I ordered a cart that should be here Tues. it’s gonna help a TON with this kayak. I’ve had to carry it on its side over concrete and stuff (trying to keep the hull pristine).

This dude always drops the videos we need.. I have the same cart and I’ve been loading it wrong haha I’ve been putting the wheels towards the back. 😅 Thanks man.. Go Navy Beat Army !

I have the same kayak and cart and the most difficult part for me was getting the kayak back on the cart from the water. I’ve since added the hydra concepts aluminum tracks along with the track mounted boonedox which is great and makes things so much easier, but I do have concerns long term with the boonedox causing problems.

I load and unload my kayak almost the same way. Only difference is I put my cart on while the kayak is still in my truck bed hanging half way out so I don't have to worry about my kayak touching concrete. It also looks like Malone only packaged 1 strap with your cart. They did the same for the one I bought but the picture showed 2 straps, so I called them and they sent a 2nd one :)

This was very helpful. My question is what is that torpedo shaped motor on your anchor point and where do I get one?

I have an old town pdl 106 but seem like the only one to do this but I just back my truck down the ramp like the rest of the boaters and let it slide in the water by using a 10 ft floating rope to pull it back to me. When loading I do the same but use that rope and pull it back in.

Cool. I jeep top mine so it sucks 😂. I don't use my Old Town sportsman 106 kayak because of it 🤷‍♂️. Probably sale my Kayak by winter 🥶 or maybe next summer idk yet. Good video buddy until the next ✌🏼.

Will be doing this method from now on, but have yet to see someone load it back on the cart while in the water. Sure it will take some practice, and maybe the cart will need to go deeper, was wondering if the cart tries to float at all.

This guy is on a whole new level since these videos haha

Hi good video ,what is the blue bracket at the stern for and make.

I'll put a rubber mat on the ground to protect the bottom of the of kayak from the rough road surface great video

I like to keep some rope tied to the front handle. I can push it away, or put the rope around a log, or under a rock so it doesn't run away while I take my cart back to the truck.

noice

What's the best car roof rack to transport the AP 120?

Good stuff! Thanks for making this video!

Do you like the kush-bar? I have a bad lower back and wonder how good it is.

I have a question please show us how you get the kayak out the water using the same method. I’m curious to know if you can get it back in ur truck as easily as you launched it into the water

What's your top speed with the Bixby?

Do a video loading it coming back from the water….

What size is your truck bed? I didn't see a cooler, how do you handle your caught fish?

If you get a kayak trailer, do you still need a cart?

where did you put your rods to travel?

can't get into shallow water, you have to lift the drive up and that takes up alot of room,,i have the bigwater and you hit shallow points on the river..i should have gotten the Tarpon 120 paddle...maybe i should just get it. its on sale for $799.00

Instead of pulling the yak all the way out of the bed, how about pulling it out leaving the bow (there's no front bow, just the bow) on the tailgate and then attaching the wheels? Then you don't have to pick the yak up to put it on the wheels.

Is it not worth it to just break the cart down and put it in kayak? Not sure how quickly that thing breaks apart

Why don’t you mount the wheels on the kayak while it’s in the truck. Wouldn’t have to to all that lifting. That’s what I did to my 106 PDL and it’s better than lifting the back on dry land. Now I have a trailer since it got to heavy to lift it into the back of my truck.

LOL, Unload is easy peasy as it's all down hill... Loading on the other hand is all up hill and not so easy.

Back your truck down the ramp put kayak in water.

Oh the pain is worth it

This car is not an "normal" one...

You’re dragging the back of the kayak on asphalt. Not good. If you really have to lean it like that, carry a piece of cardboard

What doesn't make sense to me is why would you lay the yak on asphalt ,then lift it into the cart ,defeats the purpse ,while loading onto your cart you are scratching your hull front & back ,horrible video

always a good sound to hear the concrete eating the plastic hull away.

I guess it would make to much sense to back up into your parking sport and unload on the grass.
