propeller drive or flipper drive?
New here! Kinda thinking about BKC Brooklyn 14 Pro Tandem Pedal [$2100] or Brooklyn 13.5 Tandem Pedal [$1437]. The 14 can accept either the propeller drive or the flipper drive. Is one of these methods of foot-powered propulsion clearly better for mostly saltwater fishing? Does anybody have feedback on the brand? Also, looking for leads on storage in LA / Orange County. TIA! |

What I have read is that the propeller drive can have issues in the kelp patties.

Popularity speaks for the choice. Flippers are preferred. Allows navigating in much shallower water. There are lots of Youtube videos on the subject to help you decide. Bare in mind that sponsorships slant opinions, but if you watch enough you can get an overview. The Brooklyn kayak looks like a cheap knock off. I would consider a used Hobie over getting something that will not hold up under regular use.
