Florida_Strain

Sorry im late to the party on this thread. Ive been kayak fishing for years in all kinds of freshwater scenarios. I've had a cheap sit in kayak, a pedal drive, a sit on top tandem, and currently a nucanoe frontier 12 with a trolling motor. I too am considering the outlaw next, which is what brought me to this thread. I've been hawking it since they first showed it at Icast. The nucanoe is a genius idea with poor execution. Its my most loved and most hated kayak of all time. Probably the most stable platform out there, and feels more like a small boat at times than a kayak. I already have an affinity for perception as i own a pescador pilot. Another VERY stable platform, that pedals and paddles very well. Some poorly thought out amenities like rod holders that don't hold rods, and small recesses on the gunwales to set stuff on (i guess) that dont really work kinda leave me puzzled, but what it lacks there it makes up for in performance. While pre fishing for a tourney recently i ran across two older gentlemen (one was 88 the other in his 70's) both in outlaws with trolling motors, who touted it for being easy to handle even at their age. Both were rigged up two different ways, but both seemed quite easy, though one would require you to have an aluminum plate fabricated to fit that recess on the stern, unless somebody is already making one. I can tell you fishing big lakes here in florida....i want that motor. The wind is unpredictable and crazy here, and i do a lot of offshore fishing. Im not sure this particular hull design will handle it, but im close to just pulling the trigger on it myself to try it out. If it doesn't work out, ill sell it. From seeing one in person and looking at how if could be set up with the motor i already have, im more than intrigued. I should also note that for a total of under 250 dollars, plus the cost of your chosen mounting hardware, you can add a 30lb trolling motor including battery connectors, breaker and wiring.
