Daniel Stoltzfus Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 looking to get off the bank and start fishing more often out of a kayak this year. i have a buddy who i selling his 2019 nucanoe 10ft because he got the frontier 12 for him and his wife. selling for 900 dont know if the seat is with it though. also west marine has the catch 120 for 800 something which is a little cheaper than it usually is. has anyone been in both of these and could compare? im a 6ft 255lb guy and fish lakes in the 50-100 arce range but could venture to marsh creek which is a 500+acre lake. any recommendations are appreciated.

Hawkeye21 Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Is it the Frontier 10? I have the Catch 120 and a Frontier 12. The Frontier kayaks are far superior to the Catch kayaks. Don't get me wrong, the Pelican is a great kayak for the price but the Frontier or just NuCanoe in general is better. They have a nice open deck, they are much more stable and are easier to customize. If that is a Frontier 10 for only $900 then I wouldn't pass it up. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 19, 2019 Super User Posted February 19, 2019 Welcome aboard! From what i've read, NuCanoe, as others have said. Quote

Super User lmbfisherman Posted February 20, 2019 Super User Posted February 20, 2019 Usually with your height I would recommend a bigger kayak. I don't have experience with Nucanoe but they have a good reputation. In general I agree the Nucanoe would be a better build, however check out the ratings/specs of the boat. In my opinion I would go with the bigger boat. Quote
Hawkeye21 Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 NuCanoe is fantastic and very stable. I recommend the 12 foot model but you're going to spend $1500. If the Frontier 10 is in good shape and is only $900 that's a pretty good deal. Quote
Daniel Stoltzfus Posted February 20, 2019 Author Posted February 20, 2019 Yeah maybe I’ll check around for a 12ft one on sale but the weight capacity in the nucanoe is pretty high so I might just go with it since it’s a good deal Quote
IgotWood Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 I absolutely love my NuCanoe. Not sure I’ve seen a 10 footer though. Wonder which platform it is... Quote
Daniel Stoltzfus Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 It is the frontier 10 Quote
Mike556 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Daniel, are you talking about Marsh Creek Lake in PA? Sounds like it. If I were you I'd pass on the F10 and definitely look for an F12. Shoot me a PM and I'll give you a bit more info. Quote
