I have a lure 2 pedal drive. I love it. The customer service at waterways is awesome. I dropped the knob that holds the 8 ball steering together overboard. I live about 2 hours from the Asheville store, I called them and they mailed me the part for free the same day. Johnthan in Asheville is the man.
I have one of these on the way. Ive never been iin a feelfree but been thinking about one for a while. Mine will be here by friday. Thanks for the video
I added the Moken 10 to my fleet of kayaks. Awesome little kayak. Love the wheel in the keel . There's only 1 thing I would change , the rail is different from all my other kayaks. You have to have adapter to attach my rod holders.
Man, it’s been forever in a day watching one of your videos. Watched your truck bed turned to into a hotel, and this video that kayak is awesome! Can’t wait to see you hanging out with the boys again and their new store.
I've had a lure 2 tandem for years. Most people recommend loc titing the bolts that hold the gravity seat together so they don't vibrate loose. Only real issue I have had with mine is the 8 ball steering. Feelfree has the best customer service in the business.
Hey Ron I got a Jonny Bass Boat with a 4hp on the back! 17mph on a 10ft boat!!! So cool I’m starting back my videos this year and some will definitely be in my JBB!!!
I'm going to take this into great consideration for when I want to purchase something very similar. It's not going to be too much longer until I'm back out there with everyone, just two weeks of inpatient PT, followed by probably another month of outpatient. Plenty of time to start saving up for my dream kayak! All I can say is it's got to be super stable like the one you got, plus it's got to have a lot of room to put stuff in my opinion, much like that one here. And don't worry yes I'll definitely try to get a hold of the company that you got yours from just to see if they can offer me anything that way. Also because I need to talk to people that are reputable and knowledgeable about kayaks in general (fishing above all else).... GREAT VIDEO ALL TOGETHER! Very entertaining (as well) 😉😉
Really pay attention to the rear rudder. If you load or unload it to steep an angle, it will catch the bottom of it and crack/ tear the plastic, and you'll have a hole in your kayak. That was the biggest headache for me with this kayak. Had to get it repaired. I wish they would have redesigned that, that's the biggest weakness of that boat.
Wonderful review. How is the v2 in open ocean bay fishing? I've seen reviews of the v1 having issues with taking on water because of lack of scuppers and front hatch seal. I'm planning on fishing off the coast of Camden, Rockland, Maine in between the islands. Be safe out there! Bob
I have the Lure II v1 with peddle drive and I am thinking about getting the Dorado v2. My question is does the bow take on water and get into the storage compartment where all the wires are and in the hull. I live in Riverview and only have taken my kayak on rivers near me. This is my only concern about the boat.
We just got feel free in our kayak shop, and I have to say, they are absolutely solid, especially for the price. They are heavy in general but man they do not flex much at all. I’m very impressed especially with their price points.
Hate that you probably missed it. There is a Liquor store in Englewood that specializes in Bourbon. Absolutely have a field day every time I go. Like the new kayak, now it's time to personalize and make it your own.
I've tried 8 diff types of fishing kayaks, (friend owned a kayak store) and the best ever was the ocean kayak ultra 4.7 I'm currently hoping to find one used.
Hello, great video on an awesome kayak. Wondering if you have any trouble reaching things in the tank well from the seat (i.e., fishing crate, etc.). Looks like a bit of a reach.
Wait dude that is sooooooo cool the trolling motor is with the pedal drive!?!? Hey are they making a 12ft JBB? I heard they were and haven’t seen it yet!!
Very sharp kayak dude looks like it’s gonna be a blast question do you happen to know if you just have the pedal drive and no motor do you have to register your kayak in Florida ???
That's a nice Kayak. I'd call it a tri hull. Little pricey but then all the best toys are. I fished from my twelve ft. Crawdad for 35 yrs. Size equals stability
It is def a bigger kayak, I just wanted a bigger one this year but they make them all the way down to the moment 10 light which can be tossed around like a rag doll lol
Hey CMR, I really like how you are now doing your own thing without the other 3 guys. You are the best of all of them, funny and honest about wins and failures. I’m subscribed to both your channels and the PYT channel. I really hate that you are not in these other channels lately. I really hope they didn’t snub you on the tackle shop. I really feel there’s some hurt feelings going on. Vitamin Dee is back too. Maybe yall should do some Kayak trips together. That would be cool vids.😂
@Cameraman Ron whats crazy is I'm not far from there. And when I'm in Florida we go to englewood Beach from my grandma's all the time lol. Small world. I need a boat. I have an intex two seater inflatable.. its ok, but it's too much work
This is crazy. I have a video scheduled for this afternoon on a review of the new kayak I have. Haha.
Great minds think alike!!
If your ever interested in trying out a Feelfree get my info from Ron. --Jonathan

Ron thanks for the code. I just ordered the Seastream Angler 120 pd from your review from a year ago, and it still applied. Another great review here!
I have one of these on the way. Ive never been iin a feelfree but been thinking about one for a while. Mine will be here by friday. Thanks for the video
Great video CMR! Looking forward to seeing it on the water. Keep smiling
I bought my FeelFree Kayak at the Ace Hardware in Rockport Texas, and I absolutely Love it. And their customer service is Top Notch.
I added the Moken 10 to my fleet of kayaks. Awesome little kayak. Love the wheel in the keel . There's only 1 thing I would change , the rail is different from all my other kayaks. You have to have adapter to attach my rod holders.
Nice. I love that kayak. Can't wait to see you use it. This is going to be an awesome year. Have a great day and I'll see you on the next one
Man, it’s been forever in a day watching one of your videos. Watched your truck bed turned to into a hotel, and this video that kayak is awesome! Can’t wait to see you hanging out with the boys again and their new store.
Appreciate you watching man!
@@CameramanRon Always brother
Another great video. The new kayak looks awesome, I can't wait to see how the motor works. Keep up the great work Ron.
I tried it out for the first time today and it is freaking great!
Definitely a game changer then!

GREAT VIDEO ALL TOGETHER!
Very entertaining (as well)
😉😉
I have the Dorado v1 bought in 2021. And I love mine. Eventually I want to add the motor for the overdrive it came with.
The motor is truly a game changer!!
Really pay attention to the rear rudder. If you load or unload it to steep an angle, it will catch the bottom of it and crack/ tear the plastic, and you'll have a hole in your kayak. That was the biggest headache for me with this kayak. Had to get it repaired. I wish they would have redesigned that, that's the biggest weakness of that boat.
I have the big fish 103 I bought last year and I love it, nothing like kayak fishing.
That is a great boat!!
Good choice Ron. I have the Feelfree 13.5 Love it. You will enjoy this one.
I really liked my angler 120 but I LOVE this one! Lol
Love that hull! Mine used to hurt my back as well. One of the reasons I sold it. I like that seat option!
The gravity seat is literally a game changer for real!
That is a good looking kayak and this was a great video!
Wonderful review. How is the v2 in open ocean bay fishing? I've seen reviews of the v1 having issues with taking on water because of lack of scuppers and front hatch seal. I'm planning on fishing off the coast of Camden, Rockland, Maine in between the islands.
Be safe out there! Bob
I really like that new Feelfree kayak. Can't wait to see you test it! Maybe will be living in Florida by then.
It is an amazing boat for sure! I have fished out of it twice now and seriously can’t find a flaw!
Much RESPECT for you building your page and your fishing skills in the past year. Keep doing u my good Sr. Great content...
Thank you! We’re just trying to entertain y’all!
@@CameramanRon doing a great job brother, doing a great job. Thanks much.
Solid video. I’ve been checking out their tandem option
The tandems look good from feelfree to!
Nice 👍🏻 CMR , good on you!!
This has been my dream kayak since I first saw it, in the midnight bolt color. ONE DAY!
I have the feel free lure 11.5 and love it got it from action water sports in auburndal a long time ago. Grate video
Appreciate you watching, they are such awesome kayaks!
Great video. Love the color on that kayak.
Appreciate it, I really like the green on kayaks!
It looks like a awesome yak. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your whole family...🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀
Thank you for always being here John we see you, and we appreciate you!
Really like my FeelFree.. extremely stable, just a little on the heavy side. I have the Lure 13.5
I have the Lure II v1 with peddle drive and I am thinking about getting the Dorado v2. My question is does the bow take on water and get into the storage compartment where all the wires are and in the hull. I live in Riverview and only have taken my kayak on rivers near me. This is my only concern about the boat.
I have had no water come over the bow. They made it a little deeper to prevent that.
We just got feel free in our kayak shop, and I have to say, they are absolutely solid, especially for the price.
They are heavy in general but man they do not flex much at all.
I’m very impressed especially with their price points.
Great video Ron, the pedal drive to motor drive has me curious.
Hate that you probably missed it. There is a Liquor store in Englewood that specializes in Bourbon. Absolutely have a field day every time I go. Like the new kayak, now it's time to personalize and make it your own.
That would have been an awesome place to visit for sure!
Thats a good looking kayak, hope you enjoy it In 2023
Holy cow that is bright....
Would love to get a kayak, but since high school I have exceeded the weight limits on them. Also smaller boats....😁
I have the pedal drive/ motor drive Tandem, it's a great stable kayak, it is a heavy yak though.
Ron, love your content. Is there any way I can view a Dorado 125 before I purchase one? I want to sit in one before I purchase on line. Thanks.
You def can there are several different stores that carry feel free kayaks. Any of those will allow you to try them out so to speak
How do they compare with Hobie, Native, and Old Town?
Look into the kayak carrier. It's motorized and you can control it from your phone
That would be absolutely amazing!
scupper holes?
I believe that this particular video could be described as for educational purposes. I'd definitely believe that.
I've tried 8 diff types of fishing kayaks, (friend owned a kayak store) and the best ever was the ocean kayak ultra 4.7
I'm currently hoping to find one used.
I’d look for a vibe seaghost 130 as well!
Super similar.
Hello, great video on an awesome kayak. Wondering if you have any trouble reaching things in the tank well from the seat (i.e., fishing crate, etc.). Looks like a bit of a reach.
It is def a bit of a reach however the boat is so stable I can move around pretty freely to reach back there and grab my stuff from there
Nice kiyak looks very good !!
What a beast! basically a boat
It really is and with the motor it feels like it!
Wait dude that is sooooooo cool the trolling motor is with the pedal drive!?!? Hey are they making a 12ft JBB? I heard they were and haven’t seen it yet!!
Yes! I’m dropping a video showing the motor next Saturday!
Ron does the kayak rock when trying to get in and out? Meaning how easy is it to flip?? God Bless 💕💕💕
Very little, it is a super stable kayak. I stood up and fished for a while today in it.
Very sharp kayak dude looks like it’s gonna be a blast question do you happen to know if you just have the pedal drive and no motor do you have to register your kayak in Florida ???
You do not have to register it with just a pedal drive but def do with the motor
Thanks dude
Nice new fence. Who's idea was it to try to cover a gap with a 1x6 over 1x4 pickets? lol!
Unfortunately our Lowe’s didn’t sell the four inch and those are just where the fence meets
Great vid as usual. Hope shipping to Spain is not too expensive.😁
With the shipping prices the way they are I’m gonna say it would be cheaper to come get it! Lol
@@CameramanRon 🙄😆
That thing looks pretty cool 😎 👌. Got me wanting one!
Man the feel free line of yaks is so under rated it’s unreal, comfort quality and value all packaged up nicely!
I really like the bottom of it, kind of looks like our MPS 17... I've never been on one, but I plan too.
That's a nice Kayak. I'd call it a tri hull. Little pricey but then all the best toys are. I fished from my twelve ft. Crawdad for 35 yrs. Size equals stability
It’s def the nicest kayak I’ve ever fished out of
Pretty slick..but you'll have to pry me out of my ole Hobie Outback..its Mirage drive is hard to beat. Good fishin!, Ron
Appreciate you watching!! The motor is the game changer for me. Can’t beat saving the legs lol
@@CameramanRon I'll be 60 on my next birthday.. can't say I haven't looked hard at the motorized ones!! 🤣
@@my31and37 love my old outback. It's my favorite kayak 😁
What going on with the old kayak
Sitting by the house! Sara will probably use it some
I like the color of that kayak. It would camouflage my plant that I take for a ride.
Lmao! I love your creative comments man, I truly do! Bout to google how to ship a plant I’m gonna need you to email your address!
Good looking yak! Can’t wait to put some tuna blood in it!
Me too man!!
Why no online discount?
The price of shipping these kayaks right now is insane, we are trying to get people into the stores
No worries im in IRELAND would bye one if the shipping costs were good thanks for answering my tex Ron 👍🇨🇮🇨🇮
Nice
Very nice.
Thank you! I am loving it so far!
What is price with moter
Around 4500 before discounts they have several different price options with this drive and the motor however, this one is just their rolls Royce. Lol
@@CameramanRon thx for reply man sorry I missed your visit when you were down here with Brad and mark would have loved to meet you
Good on ya. Hope you don't have to lug that thing far. Also, don't try and outrun any storms in that thing. You will lose.
It isn’t terrible when you launch at the ramp, def gonna invest in a good set of wheels
Looks heavy. Jusay'n, I like a kayak that doesn't risk giving me a hernia from loading it in the truck.
It is def a bigger kayak, I just wanted a bigger one this year but they make them all the way down to the moment 10 light which can be tossed around like a rag doll lol
Looks like someone will be visiting RedBeard real soon.
We’re already working on a plan!!

The difference between men and boys is the size of their toys
That is for certain!!
a good old fashioned arms outspread thumbnail....
Yes indeed! Just trying to fly man just tryin!
Hahahaa
The motor at the time of this comment is $999.00
Add a pontoon to negate the height of the seat
This thing is so stable that he height of the seat is no issue at all
What a Great Deal CMR 10 to get 10% OFF !! Let’s Go !!! 🧨🧨🧨🧨
Heck yeah! Go get you some!!
I'm bout to check out the asheville store
Jonathon will take great care of you!
@Cameraman Ron whats crazy is I'm not far from there. And when I'm in Florida we go to englewood Beach from my grandma's all the time lol. Small world. I need a boat. I have an intex two seater inflatable.. its ok, but it's too much work
@@Will-tm5bj the feelfree yaks are great boats man! You will def find one that suits ya!
Love englewood
