Frequently Asked Questions About the 3 Waters Big Fish 120 V3

Who is the Big Fish 120 V3 designed for?

The 120 V3 is for anglers who want a stable 12-foot fishing platform and intend to add their own stern-mounted motor, rather than buy propulsion in the box.

It is the longer of the two Motor Ready V3 hulls, so it tracks better and carries more than the 105 V3, at the cost of being harder to move on land. If you would rather have pedal power included from day one, the pedal models are the better starting point — our 3 Waters buyer’s guide walks through the range.

Does it come with a motor, and what size motor can I use?

No motor is included. “Motor-ready” means the mounting and steering hardware is built in at the factory, so you are not modifying a hull designed for paddling only.

There is one hard limit to shop by: a maximum of 1.8 hp is recommended. That rules out larger outboards regardless of how well they might physically mount.

The hull carries a 4-point stern motor mount and a motor-specific Smooth Move foot steering system, so you steer with your feet and keep both hands free to fish. Beyond the 1.8 hp figure there are no published limits for shaft length, thrust or motor weight — tell us the motor you have in mind and we will confirm the pairing before you order. Our guide to kayak fishing motors covers the categories and price ranges.

Can I add a pedal drive to it later?

Yes. The 120 V3 is built on a modular design and can be retrofitted with the Pro Fish Pedal Drive System as your fishing style and needs evolve.

We sell the Pro Fish Drive as a standalone unit, so you can start as a paddle or motor setup and add pedal power later without changing boats. The drive weighs 21 lbs on its own.

One thing to check with us first: there is no published guidance on whether a retrofit also needs the rudder and steering kit that the factory pedal models ship with. Ask before you buy the drive and we will confirm what the conversion actually requires.

What are its dimensions and how much does it weigh?

The 120 V3 measures 12 ft 0 in long with a 33.25 in beam, and weighs 110 lbs.

At 110 lbs it is above the roughly 100 lb ceiling our car-topping guide treats as the practical limit for roof-loading, so plan on a trailer or a cart rather than lifting it onto a vehicle. At 12 ft it will also overhang the bed of any standard pickup.

Worth checking before you order: you will want roughly 12.5 ft of clear space for garage or shed storage.

How much weight can it carry?

The rated maximum capacity is 400 lbs, and that figure includes paddler, gear, and any other items. It is a total loaded weight, not a payload allowance on top of your own body weight.

That total has to cover you, a motor, a battery, tackle and anything you catch. A motor and battery together take a real bite out of it, so a fully rigged 120 V3 has less spare capacity than 400 lbs suggests at a glance. Our guide to choosing a fishing kayak for bigger anglers explains how to work out realistic usable capacity.

Can I stand up and fish from it?

Yes — it is built for it. It has a padded, reinforced standing platform and a cathedral tri-hull design, the wide multi-chined hull shape that gives the Big Fish series its reputation for stability.

The number underneath that is the beam: 33.25 in. That is paired with a 12-foot waterline, which is the more forgiving of the two Motor Ready V3 hulls when you are on your feet.

Being straight about the limits: how stable any kayak feels standing depends on water conditions, how it is loaded and your own balance, and no published figure captures that. Our fishing kayak hull guide explains how hull shape drives stability if you are comparing across models.

How should I clean, store and maintain it?

Rinse it with fresh water after every saltwater trip, store it out of prolonged direct sunlight, and keep it away from temperature extremes.

That is not just good practice — it is written into the warranty, which excludes damage from prolonged or repeated exposure to harsh environmental elements, including UV exposure, saltwater corrosion, extreme temperatures, and improper storage and maintenance. A hull left uncovered in full sun through a season is the most common way owners fall outside coverage.

If you have no shaded or indoor storage, budget for a cover or a shaded rack alongside the kayak.

What warranty applies, and how do I register it?

The hull is covered for three years from the date of retail purchase and accessories for one year.

The warranty registration form should be submitted within 30 days of the original purchase date, and you should keep your sales receipt as proof of purchase. Claims are handled through the dealer you bought the kayak from — for kayaks bought here, that is us, so start with our team. You will need your serial number, date of purchase and photos of the issue.

Stated exclusions include normal wear and tear, accident, neglect or misuse, prolonged UV or saltwater exposure, commercial or rental use, kayaks towed behind a power or sail boat, colour variation, and products that have been “structurally altered or modified.” Ask our team and we will send you the full warranty terms.

3 Waters Kayaks are built by Feelfree US, so warranty paperwork and parts run through the Feelfree network — that is normal, not a sign anything is wrong.

The best kayak i own

Big fish 120

I like it. It’s a very stable kayak

stable

Only had it out once and it is very stable. Get the rudder, when I took it out I thought it was really unmanuverable then realized that I hadnt put the rudder down. When down it is a different Kayak all together. My first Kayak and I really enjoy it. It is heavy so get a good cart.

Product and service were great only thin I had a problem with was I also brought the beaver tail rudder and the insulation instructions were terrible I had to go on YouTube and see videos to install it other then that I am very pleased

Big Fish 120

This rig is a full fledged boat!
Ski boat and white caps not a problem
Had a Ocean Kayak 13T it was great and I miss it a lot… This boat is so much more
Two Thumbs Up

Like it, but don’t love it.

After a few trips with it, you find it doesn’t track well. Then to find out that most people use a rudder and some go as far as saying “a rudder is a must.” That’s putting out more money. If you like to visit remote spots, you need to shell for a pricy cart. Or have to modify a cheaper one to fit the boat. If you want to attach anything to the tracks, you need adapters. More money.
The quality seems good. Had some issues with water getting in the platform and was hard to drain out. I like the look of it. The seat is good.
It weighs a bit so you have to think ahead and be prepared to load it and transport.

Very sturdy

Nice job on this kayak

Big Fish 120

Picked my boat up at the store. Great staff, very customer friendly, knowledgeable. Love my choice of kayak, wrong time of year. I haven’t put it in the water yet. But I have the winter to get it rigged which is fun in itself.

Great kyak so far.

The kayak arrived undamaged. Beautiful piece of sporting gear.

Nice boat

Still learning new tricks. The rudder works well in rough and smooth water. Still a little nervous about standing up but I am 6-5 and weigh about 230. Overall nice boat

Big Fish 120

Very happy with my purchase. Customer service was great!

Big Fish 120

The kayak came damaged the first time (not sure if FedEx or Eco Fishing damaged it), but Jared at Eco Fishing Shop imediately prepared and shipped the replacement, which arrived in 4 days. I am totally satisfied with the product and service. I can't wait to take it out on the water.

Bojan,
Thank you for continuing to trust us after the first kayak arrived damaged. Like I said on the phone, we are at a 98% success rate but I am glad we were able to get you a new one so fast. Thank you for following the directions in receiving your kayak!

Shipping was fast, and kayak was well protected. Kayak is very stable to stand on and fish off of. Will buy from here again.

Thanks Korey for the kind words! We are always here for you!

Shipping took over a week. There are alot of gashes from shipping. Hope to get reimbursed for the gashes. Waiting on the kit to fix. The tubes to connect the rutter are dry rotted haven't had a chance to go out on it yet waiting for the replacement tubes that I need to install. Very good customer service fast call return.

Hi Steve,

It was a pleasure talking on the phone with you the other day and I am SO sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. As mentioned, we will be replacing the tubes for you and getting you the proper tools and refund to repair the gashes. Once again, I am so sorry for this but we will make it right.

excellent customer service 👍

I have brought a Big fish 120 from ecofishingshop.com and I really enjoyed. the kayak itself is very well designed and looks durable but most importantly I really appreciate great customer service and very friendly communication they had with me. Special thanks to Jared for the time he had given me to solve the shipping issue. You're such a professional team. Bless your heart. well done. The item was very well secured and shipped ontime and arrived with no damage. Highly recommend the seller. Thanks 🙏

Bigfish 105

Was sceptical at first but it’s the best thing I ever did

Best yak

Really love the way the 120 sets in the water tracks very well rudder makes it the best stable to stand up and flip lay downs while I'm fishing weight dont hurt me with it so win win for me

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for your review of the Big Fish 120! You made a great decision adding the rudder to it as it helps with the tracking a bunch! We are here if you need us.

Looks great in my garage.

It's a very impressive kayak and by far the nicest one I've ever owned. I love the features and seems robustly built. That said, I still, have months till I can give a full on water review as right now we have 2' of ice on our lakes.

So happy to hear that Jeremy! Best of luck this fishing season!

ECO was excellent. The delivery

ECO was excellent. The delivery service from Meridan CT ( 1 1/2 hour drive.) however was not. Kayak delivered in excellent condition but not at time slot promised. They told me 8-12 am. Didn't show up until 3:30 pm. Reason given was truck broke down!

Big Fish 120

Customer Service was great. Good communication, fast shipping. Kayak was well protected during shipping, no issues with damage. The shipping company was professional and appeared professional. I actually had a guy deliver my Kayak that didn’t appear like he was a junkie . Good experience, would order from again.

Excellent

Super fast shipping to me all the way in Arizona. My kayak arrived a day early, six days after I purchased and was in perfect condition. I will definitely do business with EcoFishing again.

Great Service

Great guys there. He was there every time I had a question. I didn't like the first first kayak he showed me but he found one for me that I like. Would definitely recommend.
