Does anyone have an honest review of the Brooklyn Kayak Company PK12. I'm in the market for a new yak and looking for reviews on this one. 

I only got a chance to try it out once last season,m for a few hours. I have only a paddle yak to compare it to.

 

The instant reverse is an absolute game changer

 

It's not the fastest,  but propeller yaks vs flippers are always a little slower, that seems to be the price for instant reverse

 

Turning radius was a little wide, but maybe all pedal yaks are I have no idea.

 

Loading and unloading carton was a little norw cumbersome than my previous 10fter, but that makes sense. After that set up is pretty straight forward.

 

Lifting up the propeller in shallow water was no problem

 

I need to figure out my storage situation, I used to keep a good size tacklebox up front, thinkn I'll try something under the seat or just behind it, underneath has a decent amount of room.

 

It's reasonably light given it's dimensions

 

Standing was a little more iffy than my 10fter, but this one sits a little higher. Which gives a little better vantage point while sitting

 

I did stand and cast, but the day was son bonkers windy and cold my buddy and I cut the trip short and grabbed lunch.

 

I got it used, they had it a couple years stored in a garage. Rudder moves smoothly and pedals smoothly

 

I've seen videos of people recommending upgrading to a larger rudder, I'm just happy it does what it does so I wouldn't know the difference

 

I'm totally pumped for the spring when I can get out again and get on this thing

Not always. The Old Town Sportsman Bigwater 132 PDL is faster than the Outback. Granted a Hobie drive on one would be even faster.

Right now I have a Big Fish 120. It's been good to me but I'm ready for something else.
