(S2 Ep143) Old Town Predator PDL 2020 

Great video, but turned it off after the third add.

You and Nick are going to have to rent another storage unit before long.

Que suerte tiene viejon- or han mandado muchas kayaks amigo para probar. Deberia de hacer in giveaway para todos sus subscriptores amigo.. Saludos amigo y que siga el excito viejon...

Man I wish I put more time into my RU-vid channel before I had kids. Old town is sending the Predator PDL to everyone with a Hobie lol!

Thx for your awesome, in depth review. This is the one I’ll be purchasing!!! Subbed with the bell😂😂😂

I just went to my local small town outdoor store and ordered the first light...I still can't believe that they added stuff AND DROPPED the price

Great overview. I think this kayak is a great bang for your buck considering Hobie’s current pricing. The only thing holding me back is the high center of gravity. If there was a way to adjust to seat lower I’d definitely buy one.

Love the way they were able to integrate the power pole with the twist n stow type rudder

What’s the difference between the Predator, Topwater, and Sportsman?

is it available overseas

i just dont understand the hype about this kayak. i would rather run lure 11.5. better seat. just as stable. pedal drive. but the seat is a the big seller for me. ive sat in that old town seat. it doesnt compare. . not saying its a bad boat. its a dam nice kayak. i just dont understand the hype.

Thanks for a great walk through Mark! Your channel sure is growing....and well deserved sir! I am very interested in this kayak and how it handles abuse, particularly the pdl drive. I look forward to more videos telling us what you think!

Im curious to see how the center of gravity works out. Looks high and you can't lower the seat.

man you got a fleet of yaks! looks pretty nice

Good kayak, price just too close to hobie mirage outback, should of priced it at 1999 or less, IMO

So when they send you stuff you never have to return them?

Really clear explanation buddy 👍👍👍 Regards from México 🇲🇽

Guess you got yours for free because no else can get one!

Got to see one this afternoon, congrats on this man you deserve it!

You forgot to tip the driver cheapskate!

I love the OldTown.

Awesome man. I’m Happy for you guys! Good looking kayak for sure. They definitely seem to listen to customers when putting products out.

I think I need to put a CL and up to offer to buy one of these for $1500. That seems like plenty to give for a non motorized yak to me. I love OT, don't get me wrong. I've been in OT canoes for 40 years and my OT Pack is my queen of my fleet and as good today as 13 years ago when I got her, but pricing a PDL within a few bucks if a motorized version seems silly.

I've been offered a Predator PDL and it looks the right Kayak for the inshore waters where I am, it will never see lake or river. Although its brand new, I think it is the first version of the Old town Predator PDL, because the Bow hatch is the thumb twist to lock type and not the one hand B-cord type, also the rudder control knob doesn't have the locking mechanism, but everything else looks the same, I cant see any difference in the hull, except I don't think the paddle catch is on the side as shown in your review. I guess there was an earlier version of the OT-PDL before the one that you just reviewed. I cant find any info on Old Town site, but thats probably because the have discontinued the Predator PDL. I reckon the OT-PDL is better in the chop to say something like the latest Hobie outback although, the mirage drive technology is impressive. Nice Review, thanks.

If this is for review, why would you drill holes in it! I'm thinking they will not give you a 2500 product for free, but at a generous discount! (He said his main kayak) Things I didn't like about this videos: *Apples vs. Apples = competitors have the same stuff for 700-900 less *He's speaking fast and just flying through this video *Lose & free floating hatch is cluttering *9 plug holes, that's a lot to worry about and possibly lose *short seat straps, broken bungee on brand new product, floor padding can wear out or scuffs *117lbs, after accessories 140+ Just my opinions

13-14ft is needed these 10ft or so are to small.Really hate the small bow hatches/ closed bow I like an open design for fish bags or coolers.....Dam 13ft it sure looks smaller as far as storage area

Nice! When are they going to do a 10.5’ Predator? That would sell a few.

Thank you for the explanation , and your own thoughts or your opinion : which one of the two you would use if you have only the choice to get one of those , between the hobie outback and the predator PDL 2020 ... my question to you it's because I'm looking to buy one of those beginning of next year probably fully loaded with all the equipment and electronics as well , again thank you for your videos there are very useful.... 🐟

What's the width of the tankwell? Wonder if my AO36 will fit crossways.

Cool,, looking forward to this and the comparison... Thanks.

Old Town makes some good Kayaks. I really think that Kayaks are at a point now where if they go any further your better off getting a boat. A trailer to haul these things and practically need a boat launch now for one. So given the speed behind this and the tremendous weight my next kayak is going to be a boat.

What's the difference between sportsman bigwater and predator??

4c

Another amazing video comparing the 2 kayaks 👏👏 I like the new features and the speed of the new predator if stability is a concern on the predator maybe you can rig it with some pontoon stabilizers and then do a new review with them on. In the surf and offshore and try to flip it 🤔🤔

Saving up for one now. Went to a local shop yesterday to look at and sit in one. Thanks for a great video!

Its 2 feet to long! I'd rather have a wider but shorter rig if it's a PDL!

While Hobie is raising up their prices. Old Town is out here lowering theirs lol WTH.

Great review. Better than some of of the others I have seen for the 2020 PDL. I've seen it person and its an Awesome Kayak. I have a 2018 Predator PDL and Love it. Transducer mount is the best upgrade in my opinion.

So what do u do with all the kayack they send u do u just give them away after u use them ?????

Awesome kayak! What do you do with the others you have?

What do you do with the power pole if you carry on a car top ??

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I wouldnt care about a frayed bungee either if i got a free boat

Expensive 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 AND VERY UNSTABLE KAYAK I RATHER WAIT FOR THE NEW INCOMING BAD ASS KAYAKS

Think the side handles are more for reentry after a tumble then for carrying

What does the underside of this kayak look like?

Why too much $$$ for a kayak my ascend fs12 was 500, minkota 55lb trust motor around 200ish I think, 101amph battery $60. Aint worth no $2500 for that

Another great product I can't afford!

Where can I buy one

How come i ain't never had no company reach out to me to test a product lmao! But in all seriousness i love old town very qulity products been around since the 1800's but those hobbies are one of the best quality products ive ever seen

Seeing it on the water the other night . It looks to move very well and turns effortlessly

Congratulations on the purchase. I look forward to your comparison of the Old Town PDL with the Hobie Outback 2019 in offshore use.

Who gave the thumbs down? pendejo, just jealous, another great toy Mr.Mark, awesome!!

I bought one!!!!! Love it!! This thing is FAST and stable in the ocean. Thanks for the video.

It’s getting heavier and heavier now, more expensive too. No longer a kayak but a boat 🚣‍♀️

I think you have enough kayaks now to start a guided tour business. Congrats, can't wait to see how it stacks up to the Hobie.

I see you got the scuppers with the predator. How many did you get with your Topwater 120 pdl?

Mines well buy 12 footer

Great 1st. look can`t wait to see it on the water.

Nice kayak, congrats. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

Wow Mark, that is nice!!! Cant wait to see it in action!

Wow sounds like a really nice Kia

I love that kayak! If only it had dual steering. I would still get one. Great video

As a lefty it needs Dual Steering. Is there a drop in buckets for the front?

What the hell is a power pole?

I love your review man. I hope i got one of that. Greetings from Philippines

Would you approve this for a person 6-8 280 pounds

Over priced kayak

Free Kayak, video stuffed with adds to tell us about it :(

I want one Old Town.

Very nice Yak.

What kind of cart do you use to transport the predator pdl?

$2599 now!

Do you guys any Tarpon in Texas?

Great vid mark curious how shallow it will run

Hey I could not find a video on your truck bed rack for hauling your kayaks. I would love to find this info

I want one

that’s not what you said your dream Kayak was

Looks good, thanks!

What is that yellow thing on your hat?

Will the seat fit on the Topwater PDL as an upgrade?

What store shipped the kayak to you?

I can’t afford it but I have a cheaper one that works . Nice boat . Set the hook brother

what's keeping water out of that hole for the transducer cable? If you flip, won't it let water in?

You should name the yaks!

do they sell a tandem version

rudder swings to the side now?

What color is that?

Look cheap! Like made cheap. Sorry guys doesn't look to be worth the money for me.

It should have gold on it for that price, people just don't pay big money for a yak jack.

I like the old front hatch style better than the new front hatch... I think I'm better off with the predator XL and I can get the Minn Kota console later on if I want it but that's still an awesome kayak

What's the weight capacity on the 2020
