Cool color

in the event you want to do a beach launch or landing is it easy to remove the pedal system and secure it?

PDL drive lifts up and stows in the position pictured in seconds and relative easy.

Congrats on the new yak. Is this your first? I just got home from picking up my new Ride 135 from Andy (Thank You Andy).

This is my second. My first was a malibu stealth 12 but found i spent more time paddling than fishing and after hours the molded seat well was hell on my back. I took the predator pdl out for a test run last weekend and after all day I felt great. Plus it is super stable. standing up would easy even for beginners.

Great. Looking forward to seeing some fishing reports soon.

I hate to even ask this because of all the negative to follow but what was the final results of your blem issue?

Glad to see you got a new yak, if I can get a few extra dollars put together I will get a new Radar this year/

sweet ride with the Predator. How heavy is it? Are you going to trailer it or roof top it? I'm guessing that seat must be real comfortable if you can peddle it all day.

The boat is fairly heavy, approximately 115 with seat and pedal drive and 85 without. I plan on trailering it once I locate a suitable trailer, I think it's just too heavy to have on a roof. The seat is really comfortable and I think it will only get better as I make some tweaks and adjustments to the boat.
