Just some honest thoughts on my NuCanoe unlimited and why I chose it versus other kayaks. Hope you enjoy the video and if I can answer any questions I am more than happy to do so.
Thanks for the video..I want to purchase a titan x but it's very pricey.. I feel the unlimited has everything I need in a kayak and the price is reasonable. Thanks for the detailed breakdown on the unlimited kayak.
Glad you liked the video man! You won’t be disappointed in the unlimited I can assure you that. But I will say… those new titans look pretty damn cool as well. They certainly cater to a specific type of angler. Tight lines out there🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I agree with your assessment. I have a 12’ Unlimited. Stable and a great layout. I power mine with a 55lb Minn Kota rear mounted. I like being able to add a second seat . The fusion seats are super comfortable. When I contacted Nucanoe , Blake the owner personally responded to answer my questions. I highly recommend the Unlimited!
Dude I’m saying! The kayak is great and their attention to customer support is next level. Glad you love your unlimited as much as I love mine. Tight lines out there🤙🏼
I love my Unlimited. The flexibility is unmatched. I have to disagree with you on the pedal drive though. Everyone doesn’t want a pedal drive hole in the middle of their kayak, like me. Take a look at any pedal kayak…the pedal drive monopolizes the deck space. With the Unlimited pedal drive you still have sufficient deck space. I can use the pedal drive AND have my gear pod in place and still have usable deck. Again, the Unlimited was built to be flexible and having the ability to add the pedal drive to supplement the xi3 is a tremendous plus. To end on a good note…I envy your casting skills!
I appreciate your input; It will be helpful for those who want a second opinion on the pivot drive. It definitely has its place and I’m glad you are able to use it efficiently on your set up. For me the motor guide or a transom mounted motor caters best to my fishing habits. But to your point, the flexibility this kayak provides is top notch. Tight lines🤙🏼🤙🏼
Your assessment is SPOT ON. As someone who also worked in kayak retail, my thoughts and yours are more or less exactly the same. I sold a Frontier to buy a PA14 and it was the dumbest thing I did. I recently sold the Hobie to go back to an Unlimited and couldn't be happier.
Glad we could touch some common ground man! Hobie makes a great product, but it’s a one trick pony. I love my NuCanoe Unlimited as well and I can say I won’t be switching my stance on that any time soon. Tight lines!!!
Awesome video and very informative. I was 100% committed to the Unlimited, and then I saw the U10. They really thought that out with the features on it. I did have one main concern/question. How heavy does that 84 lbs. really feel? I am in a Flint and have been car topping for years. Is throwing that Unlimited on the roof doable?
Thanks for the comment! I also own a flint and can confirm that car topping that kayak is much easier than the unlimited would be. All that being said, It’s definitely doable and plenty of people do it. The U10 might be a great solution for you though. It will be lighter and will have close to the same stability of the U12. If you don’t load your kayak down with a bunch of gear or plan to use the tandem seating, I’d say the U10 is probably your best bet. Either way you will be highly pleased with the unlimited platform. Tight lines🤙🏼
I never really considered any of the Bonafide boats, but that is only because I don’t like the compartmentalized layout of those kayaks. Performance wise, they are great fishing platforms and you will likely be very happy with that model. Bonafides hull design is really good and it allows for a lot of secondary stability (much like the unlimited). If you’re choosing between the two I think it would come down to which fits your fishing style better. Best of luck!
