Old Town Predator MK Kayak with Motor & Rudder

Description

The Old Town Predator MK Fishing Kayak with Motor and Rudder is a versatile and powerful watercraft that combines the best features of kayaks, bass boats, and shallow-water craft. It is designed to provide an electric-powered platform for fishing and on-water sporting.

The kayak is powered by a powerful and quiet 45 lbs thrust Minn Kota motor, which allows for hands-free fishing and unprecedented mobility. The foot-controlled rudder system adds leverage and control, making it easy to navigate the waters.

The Element Seating System of the Predator MK is designed for comfort, with high/low positioning to keep paddlers comfortable for a full day on the water. The kayak also features a slip-resistant Exo-Ridge deck and tank well, providing stability and safety.

Loaded with features, the Predator MK includes scupper holes, rod tip holders, and rod retainer bungees for convenient storage of fishing gear. It also comes with side-mount paddle storage and molded paddle rest, allowing you to keep your paddle easily accessible.

The kayak has ample storage space, with a large bow hatch with Click Seal cover and a rectangular Click Seal hatch under the seat. There is also tackle storage, providing enough room for all your fishing essentials.

With a maximum load capacity of 600 pounds, the twelve-foot kayak can accommodate all your gear and equipment. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring its durability and quality.

One common question is where the battery for the trolling motor is stored. According to users, the battery can be placed in the battery box, pushed up against the front of the rear storage area, next to the plugs.

Another question is how long the battery lasts. The answer to this question depends on the battery purchased. Users have reported getting around 6 hours of use from an 80AH deep cycle battery. It is always recommended to have additional batteries for longer trips.

For those wondering about the speed of the kayak, users estimate it to be around 6 to 7 knots. This provides a decent speed for fishing and exploring the waterways.

If the kayak gets a bunch of weeds caught in it, users have suggested reversing the motor to clear it. However, if that doesn't work, it is easy to pull up the motor to clear the prop. This ensures uninterrupted fishing and smooth kayaking experience.

In conclusion, the Old Town Predator MK Fishing Kayak with Motor and Rudder is a feature-packed watercraft that offers comfort, stability, and mobility for all your fishing adventures. Its powerful motor and rudder system, combined with ample storage space and durability, make it a top choice for anglers looking for a reliable kayak.
