The sidekick was well worth it. I am able to load up my kayak and roll it to the launch without any issues. We also launched from non designated areas and the cart rolls decent. It was also easy to install and comes with a YouTube instructional video. The only downside was the paint chipped off easily.

U Max Nuclear Green - props to eco fishing for outstanding customer support too
If you’re someone who's tall, big, both or want to bring a friend or your 5 year old out with you this is an amazing fishing kayak. I had 2 200+ lbs dudes plus my son on it one day and it went well. Just note if you reach over max self bail capacity 500lbs you can’t use the transducer retract system that you can purchase separately. You will eventually sink haha
Plenty of track options here and another is added if you get the gear pod with it. I keep the front right side track clear so i can jump in the water on the extra hot days and get back in.

Most likely if you get this you’ll add a trolling motor and probably the foot steering. I’m still working the kinks out with the eps system with the nk300 as the left turn isn’t nearly as good as the right. Also it turns wide unless slightly using the throttle with it.
I do wish there were options to what length the cable is that connects the foot steering to the motor but even then it’s a personal preference. I had to purchase a separate one from NuCanoe. If you have a crate I would suggest the 8ft cable.
Stability is really good but can be better. It’s a massive kayak so consider your size and potential plans if you want to bring someone or not.
This yak also handles busy waters really well. Handled large wakes well.
Older pic as I changed items around to exactly how i wanted it.

The Highlander 120 inflatable is perfect for using while camping in our Travel Trailer. It fits in my camper or back seat of my F150. The service was great, I had a few questions and was able to chat online to get my answers. I ordered it on Sunday and received it on Wednesday.

I recently added the Completion Decking Kit to my new NuCanoe Unlimited MAX, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. The fit and finish are exactly what you'd expect from NuCanoe, it looks like it came from the factory that way.

Installation was straightforward, and once installed, it completely transformed the boat. The added deck space makes moving around much easier and provides a much cleaner, more organized layout. Whether you're fishing, hunting, or just spending a day on the water, the extra standing area is a huge improvement.

One thing I really appreciate is how solid everything feels. There are no rattles or flex, and the decking integrates seamlessly with the Unlimited MAX. It also provides additional storage options underneath while maintaining easy access to gear.

From both a functionality and appearance standpoint, the Completion Decking Kit makes the Unlimited MAX feel like a finished, premium fishing/hunting platform. If you're buying an Unlimited MAX, I honestly consider this kit a must-have accessory rather than an optional upgrade.

Highly recommended!

I’m happy to share that Eco fishing shop has delivered once again!! I’m extremely happy. I’ve yet to incur issues with the kayak beyond delivery but once I do I’m sure eco fishing shop is ready to assist.

This was the perfect trailer for my needs: kayaks, roof-top tent, general outdoors use! Far cheaper than many pre assembled trailers. Cheaper than DIY option with Harbor Freight trailer and parts / modifications. And it’s built well, high quality, easy to assemble directions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am not new to fishing, however I am new to the kayaking world and fell in love with it after doing tremendous amounts of research on fishing kayaks. I primarily fish for Steelhead in our rivers and Walleye on Lake Erie and this kayak will most definitely do both!!! Customer service is excellent and Travis is the man! Everything was shipped perfectly and I tracked the order and was messaged that the kayak was in my area and being delivered in 30 mins. Spot on from purchase all the way to my doorstep. I highly recommend EcoFishing to anyone like myself who is new to the sport!!

I’m 71 years old and began kayaking the rivers of the Pacific Northwest when I was 12. For much of my life I was an outfitter and a fishing guide, so I have spent many hours on the water. Today I live in Florida and work part-time doing guided kayak tours on the Gulf coast of central Florida. I have owned almost every kayak imaginable but for the past three years I have been paddling the Bonafide 117 and have never been happier. Hands down, it is the best built and most comfortable kayak I have ever owned.

No more renting heavy, cumbersome and uncomfortable kayaks when we go out! My husband told me exactly what he wanted, but he was still totally surprised when I got it for Father’s Day. Best gift ever!

Absolutely love my Frontier 12, it is exactly what I need for me and my 100lb dog to hit the waters. Though at the time of this review, I have not yet taken it out on the water yet, as I'm completely rigging it up with everything for a trolling motor, and many other accessories needed for a relaxing time at the lake. I am even installing a 8ft Bimini, yes a Bimini on a Frontier 12, for those nice and sunny days where me and my dog can simply relax in the shade while on the water. For this being my first kayak ever, I'm really excited. Eco Fishing Shop answered all my questions and was just really amazing. These guys definitely know what they are talking about, super friendly, and the best. I highly recommend getting your supplies and gear from these guys. I can't wait to get it on the water.

I waited about a month and completed five or six fishing trips before writing this review because I wanted enough time on the water to identify both the strengths and weaknesses of this kayak.

For some background, I live on the lake and keep the kayak in the water for most of the summer, only pulling it out occasionally to clean the hull. This is my first pedal kayak after years of fishing from a Lifetime paddle kayak, so my perspective is from someone making that transition.

What I Love

Coming from a budget paddle kayak, this has been an absolute game changer. The difference is hard to overstate. If I had realized how much more enjoyable fishing would be without constantly putting the rod down to correct my position, only to drift off target a cast or two later, I would have bought a pedal kayak years ago.

The tri-hull design is incredibly stable. Standing to fish feels natural, and sitting back down is just as easy. At no point have I felt unstable or uncomfortable.

The pedal drive is quiet, smooth, and easy to operate. It's also light enough that installing or removing it isn't a chore.

Overall, the kayak appears to be very well built. The accessory rails are well positioned, the storage wells are practical, and the access ports are adequately sized. I can fit a standard milk crate in the rear storage area with rod holders on both sides, allowing me to carry up to eight rods without issue.

Things I'd Improve
Seat Comfort

The seat isn't the most comfortable seat on the market, but it's more than adequate for a typical 5-6 hour fishing trip. For reference, I'm 5'8" and have the seat positioned in the middle of its forward/back adjustment range, which seems to be the sweet spot for me.

My biggest complaint isn't the comfort—it's the noise. The seat material tends to creak against the metal frame as you shift your weight. I'm not sure whether this has any effect on fishing or if it will quiet down as the seat breaks in over time. Either way, it's not a deal breaker, but it's something prospective buyers should be aware of.

Floor Panels & Scupper Holes

The removable padded floor panels are comfortable, but they cover multiple scupper holes. Unfortunately, that means you can't install scupper plugs while using the floor panels. You're forced to choose between having the padded flooring or plugging those scupper holes—you can't have both. It's not a deal breaker, but it feels like a design oversight.

Weight

At roughly 120 pounds with the pedal drive installed, this kayak is no lightweight. It's heavy and not particularly fast. For me, that's perfectly acceptable because it stays in the water for most of the season and I'm never in a hurry while fishing.

However, if you'll be loading it into a truck, transporting it frequently, launching and recovering it every trip, or racing 15 anglers to the best spot in your local tournament, the weight should be a major consideration.

Prop Centering

I'm also not a fan of the prop-centering mechanism. This may be user error, but I've never been able to consistently center the prop using the centering mechanism. Instead, I've simply memorized the pedal position that lines it up correctly.

Pedals Working Loose

One minor annoyance is that I always carry an Allen wrench with me. Occasionally, the pedals begin to loosen, and you'll hear a clicking noise that lets you know it's time to tighten them. I've tried using Loctite, which helps for a while, but eventually the pedals still work themselves loose.

It's a small inconvenience, but one worth mentioning.

Purchase & Delivery

Eco Fishing was excellent throughout the buying process. The kayak arrived a little over a week after I ordered it, communication was consistent from start to finish, and everything happened exactly as promised. I couldn't have asked for a better purchasing experience.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase. For the price, I think this kayak offers tremendous value. It has dramatically improved my time on the water, and I find myself fishing more often simply because it's so much easier and more enjoyable to use.

It's not perfect, but none of the issues I've mentioned would keep me from buying it again. The stability, pedal drive, build quality, and overall fishability far outweigh the few minor shortcomings.

If your priorities are stability, comfort, and spending long days fishing, I would absolutely recommend it. Just be prepared for the extra weight if you plan to transport it frequently.
