Man he sets the bar when it comes to reviews. He already sold me last year on it. After watching this again I'm ready to get another one. Dat Boy good!
Nice review. I've thought about getting rid of some of my things and look into something like what you've got. Now I know I'm keeping what I've got and leaving the Jonny Bass in the store.
I have never in my life heard someone whose voice sounded so much like someone else. I was in the kitchen working and when this video came on I thought "Kevin Costner?"
It's a great boat/canoe thing but you can trawl with 2 rod's at the back I'd use it for pike or muskie fishing with huge lures or big lures for the likes of bass I'm in Ireland so we don't have muskie or bass but we have great spots to get huge pike between 20ld odd to 30lb and above. I love trawling and see that rod bend it's the best thing ever fish on get it to the boat and have a quick look and get it back in the water for another day I've caught the same fish 3 year's in a row I now because of the scar on its side or top water fishing with a frog or rat lures and seeing them take it of the surface god I love it. Sorry for waffling
That’s a pretty sweet setup. I’m still leaning towards the big fish 108 or Hobie PA. Side note, curious what Ned rig you were tossing, I love throwing the Ned around. Cheers buddy.
Nice, how's it handle with only trolling motor, does troller snag in heavy grass? How's it handle as a kayak? Motor would be nice on a long, windy day... What about off shore? Thnx for video, it was fun. How about a follow up after you're more familiar with it.. 😊😎👍🤔
Yeah you young guns never seen a “stick steering” bass boat. I think a outboard motor on a kayak is cool. But-the idea of a trolling motor is to have your hands free to fish and maneuver your boat. This trolling motor set up does not do that. Looks like to me the guys that made this boat are smart enough to figure out how to foot control the trolling Motor. My initial thoughts are foot control like a airplane or helicopter. Push left foot down to go left. And vice versa. ANYWAY cool video. Just saw the thump nail and had to watch.
I hear you going outside the box have a question of course right LOL what do you think about do you know lower 11.5 and the moken I know they make a 13.5 I think they make a 12.5 as well is this true and if you were on put the money towards one or the other the lower or the moken which one would it be and why would you choose that I've been in a lure 11.5 and loved it I think they're over priced at $1,200 I've heard you can get the moken 13.5 for around 900 do they make a 12.5 model moken
That's cool but I'd like to just have a kayak with just a paddle. I just want something nice and simple and relaxing. I do not wanna argue with a motor ever. But that said, still like the video and other people are free to like whatever they like.
I believe Suzuki outboards sell that kit and I believe it will work on most any little outboard as well..you would have to read up on it more...Im interested in putting the 2.5 suzuki on my wide 12ft fishing kayak as well.
I’ve been looking at this Jonny bass 100 and also the NuCanoe f10. Which do you like better? I’m looking for something that paddles well when I need to but also want to add a trolling motor.
Photography by Satesh then I’d look at the flint. Both those boats paddle horrible. You can paddle it around a small body of water, but they both are slow and push a ton of water while paddling. The flint paddles some and can still be motorized. I have a review on it under my review playlist
kevin hester so I have a remote throttle rigged up on the steering handle that is beside the seat. So the tiller I just have bungee strapped in the up position to keep it out of the way.
Jerry Krabe not my style ether, but some folks will geek out on it. I don’t like the motor. If I’m going to have to listen to a motor I want to the going FAST!
Same motor..... PORTA BOTE 8' A way more sea worthy boat. Way more stable. Just as skinny. Just as durable. Just as easy to set up. You could even bring your girlfriend if you wanted.
So much crap stacked onto that small plastic boat. For $3000, you can buy a used 13 to 15 foot Valco or smoker craft with an eight horse Honda that can fish three people.
Looking at the clothing your wearing id say you are absolutely *not* dressed for immersion. This might be a wide kayak but its still not a bass boat and you could flip it, and if you flip it with what your wearing your going to get hypothermia quick.
bp968 just stop. Please I don’t need a lesson on dressing. I’ve been teaching that for decades. I was comfortable with my clothing choices for the water I was on and the boat I was in. Watch my videos and you’ll see I always preach safety when hypothermia or a swim is a valid concern.
@@HeadwatersKayak oh ok cool. So you were an easy swim from the shore with accessible shoreline? I know Lake Lure was mostly very steep shorline in most places when i lived there 20 years ago.
Defeats the entire purpose...👎 There's many options for a small outboard that are reasonable and make sense. Kayak+Outboard? $3000? Wtf. Used car salesman. Dude doesn't even know how to fish a wacky rigged senko/worm. I sincerely hope no one gets hooked by this joke of a product
Wow that's rude af. The guy reviews products for people that is looking for a kayak or Jon boat. I would guess most people will make a purchase in another store not theirs and yet he still puts out all this videos. I don't see big name stores reviewing kayaks like these guys.
Man he sets the bar when it comes to reviews. He already sold me last year on it. After watching this again I'm ready to get another one. Dat Boy good!
Nice review. I've thought about getting rid of some of my things and look into something like what you've got. Now I know I'm keeping what I've got and leaving the Jonny Bass in the store.
Not a kayak but not a massive boat either. Really cool rig, thanks for showing it. Kinda crazy that its cheaper than a Hobie. 👍👊🎣
Almost everything is cheaper than a Hobie 😝
I cant tell you how much I appreciate this
Love the videos they have really helped me out when looking for a kayak
I put this on my 12ft jon boat. works great
Wow dude! What a rig!
Welcome to the NC. This time of the year you need to get down to the cost and do some nice inshore fishing.
Nice video. Very helpful. Thanks
That would be so much fun on the delta
There's an Electric Jet 4 Hp available on Amazon. It would be considerably quiter.
I have never in my life heard someone whose voice sounded so much like someone else. I was in the kitchen working and when this video came on I thought "Kevin Costner?"
Stewart Scott I didn’t realize that until you mentioned it lmao
I always here young Tom Hanks.
But I can definitely here Costner for sure!
good demonstration
thanks
Very interesting your video 👍
Do you recommend the motor short 15 or 20 inches ??
It's a great boat/canoe thing but you can trawl with 2 rod's at the back I'd use it for pike or muskie fishing with huge lures or big lures for the likes of bass I'm in Ireland so we don't have muskie or bass but we have great spots to get huge pike between 20ld odd to 30lb and above.

Sorry for waffling
How long does the battery last? Is there a plug in for a fish finder or to charge the battery
That’s a pretty sweet setup. I’m still leaning towards the big fish 108 or Hobie PA. Side note, curious what Ned rig you were tossing, I love throwing the Ned around. Cheers buddy.
Thanks for the review and update. It's a nice niche boat, thanks for the time and effort you put into the review 👍
At least you've caught fish recently. I haven't caught anything in months lol
Great review!
Nice, how's it handle with only trolling motor, does troller snag in heavy grass? How's it handle as a kayak? Motor would be nice on a long, windy day... What about off shore? Thnx for video, it was fun. How about a follow up after you're more familiar with it.. 😊😎👍🤔
Nice setup
This to me is perfect for the flats or Marsh in galveston
Galveston State Park, Cold Pass, Sea Wolf Park, and the San Louis Pass but watch yourself at the bridge.
How will it work with just the electric motor don’t really want to get a Suzuki gas motor.
I’m familiar with the Asheville area. What lake were you fishing?
How slow does the trolling motor allow you to go? I mean can you cruise along at .5mph, .25mph? Or are we talking over 1 mph at the lowest setting?
Nic S that’s a good question. At the first setting it’s very slow. Didn’t measure speed though. Maybe 1mph but that’s a guess.
I agree I don't care how fast the damn thing goes I want to know how slow it will go with the little Suzuki gas motor
Do you have to register it?
Does it feel stable even out in the swift water of an open lake?
Cool thanks for the review
Can you do a review on the Pelican Catch PWR 100?
Where did you get your steering for the suzuki?
It’s a kit Jonny sells on their website.
Do you happen to know the overall dimensions of this outboar? Height, length and depth?
Ruben Colon no idea. Google it Suzuki 2.5.
@@HeadwatersKayak Did. They only mention the weight and the shaft length. Thanks for the reply.
Great video, what brand are your sun glasses?
Heatwave
I wonder, could you tow a kayak with this? I was just thinking if I wanted to explore a farther area with a friend who doesn’t have a motor
I do it all the time
Yeah you young guns never seen a “stick steering” bass boat.

Does that little motor have reverse ?
Yes
It is 2.5 HP Suzuki short shaft(15”)?.Thank you for the review .
Price?
Just close your eyes and listen. Sounds like Kevin Costner is reviewing this boat.
where in asheville was this beaver lake?
or french broad
Now here's something to consider I'm more of a lake guy and I'm going to hit the marshes at the beach
That's cool but I'd like to just have a kayak with just a paddle. I just want something nice and simple and relaxing. I do not wanna argue with a motor ever. But that said, still like the video and other people are free to like whatever they like.
wkdravenna that’s it! 👏!
Headwaters Kayak lj
Where can I find the steering setup? please
I believe Suzuki outboards sell that kit and I believe it will work on most any little outboard as well..you would have to read up on it more...Im interested in putting the 2.5 suzuki on my wide 12ft fishing kayak as well.
Would you take it in the ocean?
Good vid, thx.....honestly, I think a regular ole paddle is good for me :-) haha

@@HeadwatersKayak Thanks man! I will look into it. Wish you guys had a store here in Miami!!
Wish it came for 2 people
It needs atleast a 9.9
Really cool. Just not nearly quick enough for my liking.
Охуенный движок, у меня такой👍
Como lo puedo comprar
Look like it. Hard to balance when standing on that. But nice. Trolling and. Motor .. still required tag.. on the boat ..
I’m curious about how the outboard would do with a black pack/ kayak crate in the back?
kevin hester does really well with the Vcrate from Plano if you rig a remote throttle. That’s what I have on mine
The Frustrated Fisherman I was thinking with just the tiller to start
kevin hester so I have a remote throttle rigged up on the steering handle that is beside the seat. So the tiller I just have bungee strapped in the up position to keep it out of the way.
The tiller is basically useless to me now, except for the motor off button
Be hard to spend 3k on that when you can get a small skiff or a John boat and load it for less, especially if you know alittle DIY.
How are you level 100 and onky have 2.5 hp. Damn dude like are you dodge specced or something?
Robert Downey Jr... Is that you?
Lol love that Intro. You ruined it!!
Shakin my head lol. Looks fun just not for me.
Jerry Krabe not my style ether, but some folks will geek out on it. I don’t like the motor. If I’m going to have to listen to a motor I want to the going FAST!
Kind of sketchy to me!
Same motor..... PORTA BOTE 8'
