The mirage drive is fantastic. So easy to pedal! The Compass is very stable, making it easy to get on and off! It arrived in perfect condition, well wrapped! Shipping was on time and I was kept well informed on delivery schedule!
I was a first time buyer and distant fully understood that this kayak on came with standard options like only manual activation of rudder and the pedals only for forward no reverse but I guess that's all on me for not doing my homework the kayak is very stable not as maneuverable as I would like but
I have 2 of these engines that power my 40,000 pound 45 foot catamaran. They wirk great and I an pleased with their performance. I have reached up to 9 knts. My catamaran is now a power hybrid cat. Deisel and ele tric. We recently finished a 2100 mile trip to the Bahamas. The engines were a blessing. We charge our 80KWHr lithium iron phosphate battery bank with solar and our genset when needed.
Great addition to my new Old Town Sportsman PDL 120 Pro. Took me to places I would not have explored on the Ohio River and covers water quickly on the lakes.
Everything works as advertised and zero regrets.
This thing is amazing. Super stable, extremely comfortable. Glad I waited to get this Kayak. You will not be disappointed this yak is awesome. Worth the money
Excellent little motor. I use it on an 18.5 Precision sailboat. Plenty of speed and endurance with none of the noise.
I have taken this kayak out about 20 times on lakes and swift rivers. Stability is unreal never once have I ever felt wobbly or like I could tip. The width and hull design makes a world of difference. Highly recommend the nucanoe foot steering and gearpod. These make the u10 stand out bigtime. I can easily store all my accessories in the gearpod then reinstall them after traveling. Foot steering is super simple and comfortable to use. Only con is the material this kayak is made of is tad softer than some other kayaks. I formed/applied kydex plates for keel protector and other drag spots on stern. The material this kayak is made from tends to scrape fairly easily if dragged on surfaces like concrete.
I don’t fear flip my kayak by myself in the water but motor boat drivers who don’t pay attention do scare me. Battery tray is peace of mind not losing my $200+ battery to the bottom of the lake if it happens. Well made great fit and secure. My battery box has connection near bottom so I did use thick rubber mat to raise it so lip didn’t block my port.
So glad I pulled the trigger! Great cart and great customer support. Super fast shipping. Makes pulling the yak a breeze.
This seat is a huge upgrade over the flat millennium seat that comes with the xtr130. It also provides more room to spin around and not hit accessories on the sides. Highly recommend it.
My first yak its not as stable as all my research said it was before purchase. Its deffinitly not easy to paddle as people say. Considering trying titan x so will have pedal drive and thinking 10.5 so be easier to load. But try getting newport 300 for pwr 129 see if that makes difference
The kayak was dragged on the warehouse floor during shipping, so much so that it burned through the packaging and left drag mark on the keel. Although the 2 month delivery was Hobie's fault ya'll could have done a lot better of communicating that.
NK300 is a beast very powerful only thing is it keeps getting a low voltage fault when I’m trolling at 2-3%
This is the best fishing kayak that I have had.
Very comfortable, well fit. Enough pockets for safety equipment. Never had problems with Old Town kayaks or products. Customer service very professional and respond very quick, highly recommend. Well pleased with ECO Fishing, impressed how they personally called me and explained the details of my kayak that I purchased through their company. I have bought a few kayaks through them and plan on buying another one.
I was so excited about this boat! I wanted to love it! Took it out for first run, got hit by a sudden storm and the PDL Drive system is very slow. Only maxed.75 mph against the 20 mph winds. It took 2 hours to get back across the lake when normally takes 20 minutes in my other boat, Lost Creek…In same conditions. I believe having a oiled chain drive system makes a smooth feel, but lacks speed in serious situations that may arise suddenly out on the lake. The friction of the chain through oil causes lots of excessive friction and or be a very strong person with lots of endurance. I’ve emailed about a return process, never got a response. Lack of Customer Service 50% of the time.
First off, the trailer is top notch. Shipped securely arrived in great shape great directions and easy to assemble. Perfect for 2 hobie PA14. However if you live in WA I cannot recommend purchasing from eco fishing or Malone. They’re both great to work with and have tried to assist with this but WA insists on collecting tax a second time on this transaction. The purchase pulls out state and local taxes based on where you live and you have to pay it to receive the trailer. The state then says they have to collect the tax or they won’t license it. Will never buy another thing that needs to be licensed from an online retailer.
Well built and heavy kayak. Its a very stable kayak for fishing and windy days. Seat is comfortable and front storage stays dry. Im 6ft2” and 220lbs and I feel extremely stable in this.
From the quality of the trailer, to the quality of customer service I received, every aspect of the sale has been a wonderful experience. Had a small issue with the spare tire mounting piece. I received a replacement part in days! They also helped me get my trailer titled and tagged! Highly recommend to all!
I got it for the nucaneo unlimited, finding out later it ain't recommended for it. Understandable why as it bends the area it is attached to under the weight. Defiantly not for the unlimited, maybe not even for the other models. But it moves it ok without any weight on it.
A boat is what i call it. i was able to fit my entire family on this thing. 5 stars all day. Eco Fishing Shop is a great company as well no complaints
