Just a perfect addition to the accessories for my U10. The thought Nucanoe puts into their products and their uses is unsurpassed.
nice kit with battery box and breaker good info on everything the bluetooth is cool took a minute to set up but not to bad Ed Newton
I believe I made a mistake on my motor order and eco said they would contact the manufacturer.. been over a month now from my request and two more emails asking for a status but no reply. Not much service at this shop.
Love the kayak. After lots of research, I settled on the 106 pdl. Before taking it out I installed an Anchor Wizard. I’ve been on a kayak before and know how much you get blown around by the wind. And I couldn’t imagine myself having a good time fishing having to paddle and trying to cast at the same time. Maybe at some point I’ll install a motor. But this kayak with the anchor system makes it possible to get on the water and fish where I want to fish. Highly recommend.
But it’s better if your kayak has a place to strap down your paddle. It’s the only thing missing from this awesome Joyride.
Arrived in perfect condition, ordered the 2025 model which came with foot steering cables already routed and foot pegs on a sliding track. I brought it out in the ocean on the first day and had an absolute blast. Extremely stable. Now to save up for an NK300 to slap on the back.
Great for a quick grab or even putting snacks in! An essential for me on any fishing kayak!
Will buy again very quick shipping on my kayak not perfect but not terrible, kayak was still usable the deep scratches are probably not even Eco fishing faults and land more on the delivery service, but in all fairness it's not a small kayak and I appreciate them for delivery the kayak. I will be purchasing my next kayaks with Eco fishing shop, thanks.
I fish a lot of heavy cover for snakehead. This paddle is the absolute worst for that environment. The hook gets caught on every piece of grass and weed that you paddle through. You end up covering your boat and self with grass. On the plus side the balance and weight are nice, but they should offer the same paddle without the notch / hook in the head.
Overall a very nice addition to my outfitting. Holds what I need securely and though not waterproof things stay dry. I think I would have to flip to get any water inside the box. I have added some small springy cables that have small carabiners attached to the rod holders they run about $3 for 2 at Walmart to add security so that my rods and do not fall in the water. The only thing that I am not real crazy about is the clear plastic top but I can get by that. Very nice storage crate.
The kayak is well constructed, well designed and very stable. The issues I have with it are my own. Not new to kayak fishing, but a complete novice to peddle drive kayaks. My main issue is control, putting myself in position to make a cast in a specific area on the water. As I gain more experience, I know this will rectify itself.
That being said, I'm working with one of the best kayaks on the market of which extremely works in my favor.
My dream of owning a Bonafied kayak is fulfilled and I'm full confident in my choice of kayak.
The Old Town Sportsman EPDL 132 is fantastic. No issues at all — unlike some reviews I saw, the kill switch works perfectly. The battery lasts all day without any problems, even in tougher conditions. It cuts through the wind with ease and makes life on the water much simpler. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable, hassle-free fishing kayak.
I don't think the Protective Wrapping is all that great. It's just plastic wrap. No big woop!
Easily adjusted to the width of my Old Town pedal kayaks, breaks down in a couple minutes, and fits in my bow hatch , just like its suppose to. I couldn’t be happier with any other cart.
The mirage drive is fantastic. So easy to pedal! The Compass is very stable, making it easy to get on and off! It arrived in perfect condition, well wrapped! Shipping was on time and I was kept well informed on delivery schedule!
I was a first time buyer and distant fully understood that this kayak on came with standard options like only manual activation of rudder and the pedals only for forward no reverse but I guess that's all on me for not doing my homework the kayak is very stable not as maneuverable as I would like but
I have 2 of these engines that power my 40,000 pound 45 foot catamaran. They wirk great and I an pleased with their performance. I have reached up to 9 knts. My catamaran is now a power hybrid cat. Deisel and ele tric. We recently finished a 2100 mile trip to the Bahamas. The engines were a blessing. We charge our 80KWHr lithium iron phosphate battery bank with solar and our genset when needed.
Great addition to my new Old Town Sportsman PDL 120 Pro. Took me to places I would not have explored on the Ohio River and covers water quickly on the lakes.
Everything works as advertised and zero regrets.
This thing is amazing. Super stable, extremely comfortable. Glad I waited to get this Kayak. You will not be disappointed this yak is awesome. Worth the money
Excellent little motor. I use it on an 18.5 Precision sailboat. Plenty of speed and endurance with none of the noise.
I have taken this kayak out about 20 times on lakes and swift rivers. Stability is unreal never once have I ever felt wobbly or like I could tip. The width and hull design makes a world of difference. Highly recommend the nucanoe foot steering and gearpod. These make the u10 stand out bigtime. I can easily store all my accessories in the gearpod then reinstall them after traveling. Foot steering is super simple and comfortable to use. Only con is the material this kayak is made of is tad softer than some other kayaks. I formed/applied kydex plates for keel protector and other drag spots on stern. The material this kayak is made from tends to scrape fairly easily if dragged on surfaces like concrete.
I don’t fear flip my kayak by myself in the water but motor boat drivers who don’t pay attention do scare me. Battery tray is peace of mind not losing my $200+ battery to the bottom of the lake if it happens. Well made great fit and secure. My battery box has connection near bottom so I did use thick rubber mat to raise it so lip didn’t block my port.
