Looking at getting a creek/small river kayak - any recommendations. I have a titan 12.5X and use a trailer so wanted something stable but light since I will be wet launching. Thoughts?
I have a Crescent CK1 I use for creeks and rivers. I have lots of videos of me fishing out of it . It’s only 60lbs and with a drag strap you can go anywhere. It’s great in current. You can’t stand up in it though and I only paddle it. If you’re wanting something to stand in and motorize I would look at the Bonafide RVR or Crescent Shoalie. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
I did like my Minn Kota 55lb bow mount. Used it on a NuCanoe Pursuit and the PWR. It is heavy though and didn’t get the speed I wanted. Spot Lock was great. I think I like the 180pro because it’s lighter and easier to deal with and good speed. Actually using the 180pro to maneuver the boat while fishing will be a learning curve. I added a few things to it to help with that. I have a few videos on what I did if you want to watch. I’ve been out a couple times and really like the setup. Each one has its trade offs.
I have a Newport bracket on my shoalie so I am familiar w rear mount life. I think the power pole may be the answer There is def a trade off. 2 good friends have xi3 on their pwr and love it. I love thin water though
Thanks for the reply. Do a video of the new foot steering installation.
Yes sir, sure will. Thanks
Appreciate all of your hard work. I have a pwr also and just ordered the 180 pro. What is the tilt angle on the 180 pro. Thanks again.
The second trim hole seems to be the best option. Thanks for watching.
Can you provide a link to the trolling motor rudder you used?
I sure can. Thanks

So if you could do it again - would you go w the nk180pro or the bow mount on pwr. Getting my hull next week.
