Wife and I are transitioning from large(r) boat and AirBnB/VRBO/Hotel/Wall Tent to the idea of a camper (See other thread re: Campers) and a couple really nice (w/in budget) Kayaks. We both enjoy kayaking and I've had a blast catching large 20+# pike, etc from a kayak. Of course it is manageable with hand propulsion paddles, though we are looking at fin or propeller pedal (not battery) kayaks. Both of us intent to purchase same/similar models. Helps when a friend goes fishing
We still have our original 12-14' hand paddle kayaks for cruising.
Watched numerous YouTube reviews and understand some good generalities between the fin and propeller.
Anyone have or looking into pedal/battery propelled kayaks and able to share the pro/con for the "why" you chose/considering buying (fin vs prop), brand, etc. I added battery in here as the proulsion involved has the same function. Impact, weeds, clearing fishing line, manuverability, maintaining fishing tension, etc
I understand Pelican is a less expensive option as they operate using early Hobie expired patent type propulsion whereas you pay much more to have the most current propulsion/function design. We're open to considering both. Weighing the $ vs the function.
Thanks in advance.
