It works really well actually. We have tested on multiple inflatables and so have some customers and we have good feedback. Its one of the only motors that can be easily attached to inflatable kayaks. We have designed rubber pads on the inside of the PacMotor to protect against your kayaks haul.
everyone needs to be aware that as soon as you install these on your kayak you have to be registered as a powerboat in almost every state! You don't want to get a ticket so get registered!
Looks unwieldy for marsh style fishing would not work for me .. the water snake TM attached to the front of my kayak is a game changer for me .. the motor is 9.8 lbs.. I can keep my motor down to 4 in of water.. xi3 is only 769 without spot lock
"Fits 95% of kayaks" Where is this figure coming from? Is this just a fake number for marketing purposes or you have made real world tests on big number of different kayaks?
Most pleasure yaks are around 30" to 35" inches and most fishing yaks are around 35" + or - and so yeah I believe it. My yak is 35" and the pac fits it fine, has plenty left to go wider and plenty to go less.
Nr 1 change i would make is add a controller as an option that goes on the wrist like a watch
Any ideas for making it spot lock?
will this work with a double hobie PA17?
If I order now when does the next batch release. Would like to have it this spring.
Will it fit the pro angler hobie
It’s hard to like a video when as Contributor 117 on its Indiegogo campaign I STILL DO NOT have my PacMotor! Whennnnnnnnnn????
Hey Mark, Don't worry the pre-order batch has finally arrived just last week and you will be receiving tracking number shorty.
@@PacMotor OK. We will wait and see. It’s almost kayak fishing season here in SW Virginia.
@@Quackjn Mine was an Indiegogo contribution, not a retail purchase. I helped him get the funding to get the project off the ground.
How well does the PacMotor work on inflatable kayaks like the Aquaglide Blackfoot 130 ?

Any updates on the July batch? I’m eagerly awaiting my combo pre order!!!!
Yes! We are processing all the pre-orders now. You will receive a tracking email this week. We are super excited.
Looking in to getting one of these, but have a few questions. Is there a number that people can call?

isn't it generally locked behind a 10-15 HP requirement? They need to worry about certificates more so than power boat registration in most states.

You must register any vessel, and properly display the registration numbers, that has any type of non human power.
This isn’t really true, as most states have a minimum hp requirement. like my state is anything above 3hp
No minimum in Kansas
Here in VA, even with a trolling motor, you need a VA number from registration of a Jon boat

A wet finger guess ofcourse
I'll wait for the knockoffs

$800 with no GPS, spot lock or nav functions, I'll stick with my $99 Minn Kota.
