Interesting, Having owned and used for years Jackson, Hobie and Old Town I'm really surprised you didn't mention Old Town. I fish salt water and all three preformed well, I think the experience you gain on rough water is most important, after a few years body roll in swells, head position, counter balance, situational awareness etc... the stability of your kayak depends more on you not the watercraft. Still wondering why you left out Old Town....

Out of the ones listed that don't have a pedal drive,which would you pick for the combination of speed/maneuverability and stability? I know y'all said you both own a Yupik.
@thebeardedpaddler after doing a little research on the Yupik, I see some reports of cracked decks being discussed. Is that still a current problem, or have you seen any personally?
Not a single old Town? Doesn’t seem correct, just my opinion and I’m saving up for a peddle drive and of all the kayaks out there I have down to the sportsman 120 and the big water. Stability, speed, warranty and drive. Currently I have a top water 120 just don’t want to paddle all the time.
OT are not the top stability kayaks out there. That does mean they aren't stable. The Sportsman PDL series is a staple of the industry and a tremendous value.
Thank you! This video is EXCELLENT and you both did a wonderful job with your descriptions and justifications with each kayak. I live in SW Florida and fly fish. Stuck between the Native Titan X, Old Town Sportsman PDL, and the Hobie Pro Angler 12 or 14.
Have owned a NuCanoe frontier for a number of years. I like that i can use my Minn Kota on the back when on larger lakes. Good tie down area for the battery behind the seat. I enjoy paddling it but it is slow secondary to 41 width. I often stand up and SUP using the Kayak paddle at its longest setting. Very stable and I feel solid when standing to fish. It is fun to take 2 people in the comfortable swivel chairs. My chocolate lab loves being able to stand and move around in the boat without rocking it. He leans his head way over when we bring a fish in to net. Haven't tried NuCanoe's pedal drive. Without the seat, my boat weighs 74#. I can load it on top of my Honda Pilot but I know some folks can't do so because of the weight. For me this would be the ideal boat if it weight 10 # less.
If your ocean fishing especially off the coast of Northern California I would say hobie outback over pro angler. I have seen many people flip their pro anglers and loose all their gear. You get a fish on and a swell hits you at just the right angle while you’re leaning and it flips quick. Coming in through the surf can cause problems as well. The outback is lower center of gravity and you ride the swells a lot easier.
The X is noticeably more stable. It is heavier too. They are both very stable though. The rudder, seat, and customizable options are what makes the X so good
@@thebeardedpaddler Thanks! I noticed it's like half an inch or so wider too. Is the Hull design the same or did they change that too? 😊 Thanks in advance
@@thomasdegroof1004 reinforced more on bow and stern for motors as well as redesining the deck for more room and better drainage. Check out the videos I did on them Thanks for watching btw!
At the end. Of the video I just love that comment.Why is it me and then you both smile?Just lets me know what kind of people you are and how much fun you have doing what you do.Thanks a lot for the video😊
great video but i am super confused as to why you listed other factors that influenced the list order such as the seat and maneuverability when the objective was to look at stability and ignore everything else - would be helpful to just know the top 10 list without any other factor influencing your decisions
Seat height and position all affect stability. Maneuverability is definitely something to note though as these are all stable but do not handle the same. Thank you for watching!
I just bought a Nucanoe Unlimited last week. I think they’ve hit the perfect balance of stability, weight, portability and price. I looked at the Big Rig and Titan but the weight and lack of portability for that price killed it for me. Add the trailer and you’re around $5,000 all in. At that point, I think there are better alternatives.
Have you ever considered doing a video on most stable fishing kayaks EVER? Lots of older boats on the market that folks are looking at to get into the sport. I personally think some of the older Hobies were a bit more stable
What I found out about the Pro Angler is it’s great if you stand in the middle and lean. As soon as you stand to the side though it’s game on - and once it gets to its tipping point there is no going back. Experienced users who realize this will likely never flip.
I was used to standing anywhere I wanted to on my Titan, but when I took a friend's PA 12 out, I nearly flipped it...! Like you said: There's a "Sweet-Spot" on the Hobie 'Yaks, and it's right in the Middle! Lol
@@MSmith-jf5woIt really is, I hit the tipping going walking out on a dock on a demo as I put my foot a little too close to the side - got out in the knick of time if I took another half of a second, it was going over. Ultimately, I decided to go with the Bigwater. Faster, lighter, more cost friendly and reliable. I have bad balance so I stand in that center spot regardless and I did fine in the demo in some decent current.
Great info.... The Wife and I will have to come down and visit one weekend .... Maybe we can get out on the water. I need to put ya on my Kaku Zulu with Xi3
Very curious, as im looking at purchasing the Titan X 10.5 later this year. How would you stack that up against the other kayaks for stability? Would it be slightly less stable than the 12.5 but how much different in comparison?
Me personally I'm not a fan of Feelfree or Vibe. Nothing against them but I just feel there are a lot of better performing options for around the same price
I am struggling between the pa14 and the titan x 12.5. I like the stability of the Titan X, but I like the kick up fins of the Hobie as I plan to navigate some rivers with downed logs etc. The give and takes are what makes it tough.
I would suggest the PA if you are going to be navigating hazards. Kickup fins is a big benefit. If you want an alternate, check out the Coosa FD. The Jackson pedal drive can kickup and still function
My first yak was the Feel Free Lure. Kinda surprised its not on the list cause thats why I bought it was the stability. The pontoon style hull design on the Lure made it super stable. In the 6 years I owned it I never flipped it. Literally just bought a TitanX a couple days ago. Haven't got it on the water yet, but from everything I've heard, it deserves the #1 spot.
The two of you compliment one another well with your different perspectives. This is very helpful, especially when describing the merits of a kayak as related to the size of the paddler. Which brings me to my question for the next episode. I am guessing the Liquid Logic Kaiwah will be one of the recreation kayak recommendations but it does not have enough capacity for a XL paddler in the 275 lb range. If possible, please include a great paddling sit-on-top kayak for us larger paddlers even if the recommendation is marketed as a fishing kayak.
After talking with Greg B. (who talked me into my first Titan), I think I'm sold on the Titan X series. I've tried other "Name" brands of ';Yaks, and they (like you said) have their Pro's and Con's. Thing is: they drained my lake I fish and live on, so I'm going to be "Hard-Pressed" to justify buying an Upgrade to my "fleet" of kayaks (already have 4). You sure do give people a LOT of information to digest on here, as well as a Lot of choices (as everyone IS a little different than the next person!), and that makes your channel quite Unique! Keep up the Good Work, as we all can learn from other's expertise.
Great video, if you had to rank them stability to price what would be your top pick? Iam leaning towards the outlaw right now for price, stability and features. One of the big ones for me its the cutout up front for a side scan transducer. The titan x 12.5 is at the top of my dream list! But i suspect it wouldnt be good for my shallow limestone river bottom. At some point i need a lake kayak and a river one lol. I have crown royal taste on a generic beer budget haha!
To me the Titan X is the best value. I love the Outlaw but my personal taste always takes me to the Jackson Bite due to a slightly better paddle performance
I'm surprised the Old Town Autopilot never made the list for either of you. It's incredibly stable and you REALLY have to try hard to flip it. It's the main reason why I love mine- I never have to worry about it tipping over and losing all of my gear.
Stable enough. You are going to see better stability and much better performance with the more quality manufacturers though. Used Jackson's and Perception kayaks all over the place
Where does the slayer land? I know it isn’t as wide as the titan. It is about the same width as a P127 (although totally different hull designs). Does that hull produce a more stable kayak?
First off, I do not currently own a kayak. That said, it is extremely difficult to take this seriously when there isn't a single Old Town on the list(s).
Not saying they aren't stable. I just consider these more stable. Old Town does a mix of speed and stability very well. But there are definitely more stable kayaks out there other than OT
Yo the bite and bite fd the same or does the drive make it less stable and how about the upper removal vid lol ha sorry brother I know your busy I just don’t want to drive two hours to look at the yak and hate if it is super complicated to remove the peddles
2 very different kayaks. The Bigwater is a much better Paddler obviously. The Titan X is built more for comfort and stability. Strangely enough, the Titan X does have a tighter turn radius which shocked me. The BigWater will have better speed and will obviously be lighter. Titan x is perfect for someone who wants to rig the kayak out and the swivel seat is a huge leap forward for Native
I took out my Titan X this weekend for the first time. I came from the PA14. Around here, everyone thinks the PA14 is the best. In my opinion the Titan X is so much more stable. The center of gravity is so much lower than the PA14. I've been telling everyone the Titan is so much more stable. With the motor on the front, I did get water with the plugs, the Hobie did also. The Hobie has more natural draining. But the big difference was the rod tube are under water in the PA14 when standing. The Titan X not even close. The Titan X is a much better built kayak than the Hobie.
so how would you rate the Wilderness ATAK 120 i just bought a used one and i havent been out in it yet ( fixing a couple of things ....i had an ATAK 140 and it was great just looking for your thoughts please/
i had a original Big Rig 2 in fact, ive had the older Hobbie PA 14, Nucanoe F10 and pursuit and the ATAK 140 but in truth i really want to move up to the TItan X to me that kayak has pretty much everything ive ever wanted . Thank For getting back to me . @@thebeardedpaddler
truth is im 57 and my health is not so good so the next kayak i get will be my last but i do love being in a kayak so i want my last one to be the right one thats why i was looking at the Titan x or the power 129 this vids help me a lot so thanks again for the info.@@thebeardedpaddler
I don't think the PA is one of the most stable kayaks. It's one of those deceptively stable kayaks, if your not careful you can spill easy. The feel free Dorado should have been on that list I've been in a lot of kayaks and that one definitely sticks out as maybe the top four.

Outlaw will be more stable but considerably slower to paddle. The Coosa HD is a bit faster and better suited for rivers. Really depends on your needs.

I have, I have also worked on them quite a bit. It is super stable but a just put these in front of it is all.
Thank you for watching!
@@thebeardedpaddler I love mine and for the money 👍
You should do a video on these new inflatables
Which ones?
Why is the Big Fish 108 not in this list?
Because the others are more stable. And frankly the quality really falls short.
I have a Big Rig HD. It has been a tank for me. Had it since 2019. Thinking about upgrading to a Native 12.5 Titan X. Love the idea of the pedal drive to add to my Torqeedo
Great setup for sure
There’s a new Big Rig FD :)
