My JK big rig is WAY better. Foot controlled steering, digital speed control and so stable you don't need those pontoon thingys. And I would bet it's a lot cheaper and made in the USA.

Looks like the sort of thing designed by someone who's never been in a fishing kayak, but invents things to make it better. LOL

Looks like a Freedomhawk.  Way too many moving parts.

Agree with @J Francho that it is similar to the Freedom Hawk

with the pontoons.

 

And it isn't my kind of fishing kayak, I want to be sitting high

as possible! :) That said, I can see how it will appeal to a great

many folks.

 

And I love the long-pole-no-reel fishing he's doing. That's quite

a bit of fun, especially when you hook a large fish. I've got rods

like that from 10' to 20'. A blast. I need to break mine out and

fish them soon. Too much fun to sit unused.

I had a 14' and the 12' UL.  Not bad, clever design, but they didn't hold up as well as they should have.

I had an older model 14. Mine held up really good actually. I only fished it one season though. Got some heavy use.  Survived everything the Shenandoah threw at it. My only dislike was the rod storage. I hate vertical rod holders on a yak. Most of the time just laid them at me feet.

Mine were demo boats at a kayak shop that I used for fishing/kayaking classes and guided trips.  Two seasons, and things started getting a little janky.  The 14s held up.  The 12s were the suspect boats.  the 14 had planty of room for rods, but the 12 was a pain to bring more than three.  At this point, I really like mu Commander 140.  No need for retractable pontoons to stand up. ;)

Yeah but the pontoons were great. I barely ever sat going down river.  Even hit rapids standing up. I even thought about getting pontoons on my pursuit for the initial stability. I was 100% confident in the freedom hawk.
