My first kayak was the OT Sportsman 106 PDL. Although I eventually sold it for a lighter fishing platform that I could more easily manage, I really enjoyed my Old Town. It was very comfortable, especially after I put your seat risers on it. The shorter length was often an advantage, especially maneuvering in tight spaces in the back creeks. I am tall so I had the seat positioned to the back and never felt that the bow of the boat was dragging in the water. The Old Town Pedal kayaks are all well made with rugged hulls that can take a beating and a smooth pedal drive that will last for many years with minimal maintenance. It will be interesting to see if you can turn it into a speedster.

@DetroitFishigan 5 месяцев назад

You are 100 on point with the height and weight of the person that get this kayak. This should be considered before buying that pdl106, because you are gonna get water in that drive area all the time because of what you said about the center... I know 👀 lol. Good video Nick 🤝.

@NavarreKayakFishing 5 месяцев назад

I think it’s a great kayak but that is a big draw back that I see for some folks.

@yakkittymack 5 месяцев назад

Chose the 106 over the 120 due to weight and the ability to easily put into my truck bed. I trailer it 90% of the time, but when camping I needed something I could load in the bed. I love it! I'm very anxious to see how the motor looks. I don't even care about the speed, but I can't stand homemade looking setups.

Yes. Just got one this past year and I love it for all the same reasons you pointed out. 6’4” 190 and it pedals fine. Pretty dry for me. Can you make a guard for the back part of the kayak as well? I’ll be ordering mine soon. Probably closer to summer. :)

@NavarreKayakFishing 5 месяцев назад

We’ve had several requests for guards on the back part of the kayak. We will look into it.

@middleearthchronicles2269 4 месяца назад

Definitely interested in a mounting plate and setup for a Newport motor. I've had my 106PDL since April of 2020 and it has been the perfect set up for me. I run a 600' blue crab trotline in it with my dog up in the Chesapeake Bay, no problems. I got caught in a winter small craft advisory coming in late, heavy wind and rollers, didn't even get wet. Only issue I've had is the PDL powder coat is failing pretty badly starting near the prop and speading outward. Old town said that it wasn't covered under warranty unfortunately, so I guess I'll just keep going till it doesn't go anymore.

@NavarreKayakFishing 4 месяца назад

The Newport system works great. We’ve had a bunch of customers do it. Due to lack of room we are selling the 106PDL. Sweet kayak we just don’t have room to store them all and make parts for them.

@Chubz69 5 месяцев назад

I found out that the bow dips and I get a lot of water in the kayak because I sit far forward due to my lack of height. It still doesn’t bother me tho because the yak performs well.

@fish4fun354 3 месяца назад

@NavarreKayakFishing 5 месяцев назад

What’s the top speed?

@justanotherguy6645 5 месяцев назад

4.2 to 4.3. Have not run it without the PDL installed so that might have contributed to a little drag. Propped the PDL up and had a bit to much water come up through the drive hole.

@NavarreKayakFishing 5 месяцев назад

@justanotherguy6645 still pretty good numbers.

@yakin_n_bassin8203 5 месяцев назад

Luv my 106pdl... chose it over larger yaks cuz of my limited garage space, lighter weight as I car top, and cost... put a 40# transom motor and can get 4.3mph easily and still use the pdl and can easily cruz at 5mph

@johndubinsky8415 3 месяца назад

I got the 120 pdl not salty, and i stand up in it and take it out on salt in 10-18mph winds. (although I almost fell in last time, gotta pay attention to waves). Please continue to make parts for these Kayaks your stuff is quality. Only ? i have it WHAT SEAT CUSHION DO YOU RECOMMEND? that seat can get a little unsupportive after 4-5 hours straight

Oh bro, This would've be my first ever yak though being a short bloke at 5"5 and a bit bulky i think ill go with hobie compass for fishing/rec its actually $1300au cheaper here in Australia! And a big thing for me think itll better for shallow waters with the mirage drive love hunting for flathead Thanks ya legend bit sad but thanks for mentioning the bad first wich was my biggest concern.

@offthecha1n Месяц назад

Thank you for all these great videos. My son and I are under 6' 150lbs. We primarily fish the gulf (tampa) in 12ft vibe kayaks and looking to upgrade to pdl. Do you think the 106 would be suitable for that type of saltwater fishing. We only bring a couple poles and a cooler with minimal tackle. Wondering if I can get away from buying the 120 . Thanks

@charlielong9667 2 месяца назад

I’m looking to get a pedal kayak for small to medium rivers and lakes. Little if any salt water fishing. Pickup bed and trailer hauling. Would you recommend the 106, 120 or something else? It seems the 106 would be easier to haul and maneuver in small rivers.

@olewoodoutdoors 5 месяцев назад

I'm coming up on my 3rd year freshwater fishing out the 106. It's great for ultralight spin fishing and since I raised the seat I can fly fish out of it. It's a fishing machine.

I agree. I plan to do some crappie fishing out of it.

@timdoll6718 4 месяца назад

Nick have you seen the KAKU Zulu ? I’d like your opinion. It can be outfitted with a pedal drive or any trolling motor. One version comes with an Xi3. The seat is completely different and the kayak was designed around it . Looks like an awesome setup. The guy who designed them is from Tarpon Springs. My daughter just bought a house down there. Check them out when you get a chance. The model is called the KAKU Zulu. Thanks

@garretthalter3274 4 месяца назад

I had a voodoo and it was spectacular. Stupid stable on big busy lake that has no motor limit etc. Could stand up on it all day. I'm sure the Zulu would be even better with the pedals, and the xi3

@Backlashed 5 месяцев назад

I'm nearly 6' tall and I noticed that I can barely reach the pedals in my BigWater when the seat is half way back. I guess it was designed to accommodate someone built like Kareem Abul Jabar.

@stjester 5 месяцев назад

hi Nick how do you feel it in terms of "cutting water" vs the 120, does the 106 feels clunky?

@NavarreKayakFishing 5 месяцев назад

Without it fully loaded with fishing gear it goes through the water pretty good. Once you continue adding weight it gets a bit slower. The 120 does a better job.

@amblo51 5 месяцев назад

So at 5’9” would I still be far forward in one? Also how good would one be fishing inshore? Thanks!

You would be further forward than I was. I wouldn’t say to far though. Solid for inshore if you’re not making long pedals.

If it’s a long pedal or you’re fighting the tide/wind I would personally want a 132. But short trips, docks, and so on it will crush it.

Awesome thinking of buying one mainly for saltwater fishing and thought of buying the pins for propeller, the knob, and the bolt for the rudder. Hopefully the 5 yr warranty can cover if it ever goes bad for rusting.
