stewa107 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984isNOW Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Town Sportsman Bigwater 132 PDL is faster than the Outback. Granted a Hobie drive on one would be even faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewa107 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 Right now I have a Big Fish 120. It's been good to me but I'm ready for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
