Another Pedal Kayak

Just got done with work and now checking out what I missed so far from iCast...

This:

And this!

Random/possibly interesting observation: Looking at the prop on the Radar, it looks identical to an APC prop used for model airplanes. If that's the case, they're made in Dixon or Davis, anyway somewhere right here locally!

out of the two, i like the smaller form factor of the predator unit.  lots of cool stuff coming out!

Nothing small about the predator pdl: 36" wide, 117 lbs compared to the radar 135: 34" wide, 95 lbs.

What's up with kayaks getting heavier?! Eddyline carribean needs to come up with their own pedal system also. That'd be interesting.

Seems like a step backwards to me. At 117 pounds, the weight of that predator is comparable to a fully rigged pre-2015 AI...

marketing a different style of fishing ? more slack water type perhaps bass fisherman ? Or places easily accessed by trailer ..all the above  ?

bass fishermen is the answer.  that's where the money is now.

Now ...always it seems regardless...look at when I was at OPS   3/4 or more of the floor space is Bass oriented/rods same..after that Salmon/Trout/Panfish...Ocean/Surf not so much  90% of our on line sales were Bass fishing  of course accessibility has a lot to do with it too ..of course , kayak fishing doing it`s part to change that for sure

50-55 lb kayak with a drive system over 13`? I`d look hard..rigged weight I understand would be different  whats a Native Propel Slayer weigh in at w/o the drive ?  Im not familiar as you guys are at models   ..even looked at something like fishkrafts new Stealth rig ...50 -55 ..no drive but light.. RockHoppers Eddy C-14 light but no drive ..my loss of strength in my right side has me trying to find a happy compromise...might come a day when lifting to load is not an option ,might have to pedal instead of paddle....anyway just rambling..no coffee this morning ran out 

Not sure of any lightweight ones yet. The closest I know of is the Perception Pilot. Around 76lbs and pretty sure that is with the drive. Not 100% though.

i was referring to the pedal units only of each.  all these new heavier yaks will make my OB seem light
