Hoodoo Impulse 135 Question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Has anyone had a chance to check out this new monster? I'm wondering how it would stack up against a old town Sportsman PDL or Salty PDL.

Haven't seen one in person, but it you want it cheaper, you could always buy it directly on alibaba.(I'm saying that sarcastically but you could.) There's a rash of kayak companies that are pretending to be homegrown but are just imported and private labeled off alibaba. It really bugs me because they're stealing other people's innovations and undercutting them on cost and hurting our economy. I don't think any of the major kayak companies are made outside North America Except for a few in Europe and I think OK used to have a factory in Australia or New Zealand and those models weren't shipped here. I've also seen some hilarious things where they don't even know how parts they copied are supposed to go and they're installed backwards. Good luck trusting your life on a kayak like that.
