So is it a kayak or a bass boat? We don't care what you want to call, but we think it looks like a blast. Not many crafts to compare it to. It is a new emerging hybrid craft market. I suppose the new Jonny Boat Bass 100 could possibly be this biggest competitor. Pelican has wider distribution than Jonny Boat though and likely you could easier find a Catch PWR in a store near you than the Jonny Boat. The kayak shown is a prototype and subject to changes. Expected release is early 2020 from what I saw.
However, regardless of what you choose, KayakDIY is hear to answer your questions and help you find the right craft for you. We don't care what brand you buy. You can find some of our favorite paddle crafts and recommended gear here in our Amazon store. Thanks for Watching! www.amazon.com/shop/KayakDIY - Zábava
*Great little trolling motor **enjoyable.fishing** recommend had it hooked up to my 15 foot old town canoe and it pushed it pretty good with me and my son (220 pounds each).*
Wow...really need to come out with a 120 or a 130 with that! I think the concept is great. So many people argue over whether or not it’s a kayak or not...does it matter? No! A small fishing craft is incredibly useful, regardless of its a small boat or kayak, and it gets people fishing! This was a great idea by Pelican...
i so agree 10 foot is a tad short but Love the concept
Add a trolling motor mount in front, this will be a best seller kayak.. I myself will buy one..awesome to have a small outboard motor at the back and a trolling motor in front. A complete boat!!!!
Definitely looks awesome. Great little craft for bass fishing lakes, rivers, small bodies of water. At 38in wide it should be dang stable. I like the wheels too! Could car top the boat and wheel it to the water without much effort. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! This looks like my next kayak!
Appreciate the quick response. Thanks!
Upgraded from my 30# MK that maxed out at 3mph. This pushes my pelican pwr 100 at 4.5mph which is nuts since the pwr is a slow yak
Thanks for bringing this to us. Scratching my head a little about the length.
I suspect we will see a 12 ft offering or larger too. Several people mentioned that and Pelican said they would bring that to their R&D team. I think this length would be perfect for my river runs in Florida. We hunt for fossils (mammoth/megladon/etc) in the rivers. Plan to share some of those adventures in near future.
@@KayakDIY I hear ya. I'm just thinking about the safety aspect. At just under 10' with the weight of gear, motor and battery to me that craft will become unstable in the slightest of wind. Maybe not. Glad to see more of these options available for consumers tho.
@@jerrykrobby do remember it is 38" wide and many kayaks are only 34" wide or less. It also has a tunneled hull which ads stability. With battery in front and motor in back along with ability to adjust trim via seat tracks it should be pretty stable/balanced. Although time will tell. I might get out on one first week of July. Stay tuned.
At least it will fit inside my Mini Cooper
🤣👍🏻
@@KayakDIY nope...not enough to sea worthy!
Good idea having it set up ready for motor, my opinon too short plus not sure about paddling maybe if motor goes out.
Amazing ! Compact , Short , etc ! So many "Kayaks" on the water are basically stripped down bass boats , 12-14 foot beasts loaded to the gills , #overkill thankfully though this rig fits the ( less is more) bill , to a T , that todays up & comers are so fond of . Better get those pre-orders in asap , or its gonna be a brutal wait , guaranteed !
That sweet. I have the the catch 100 fish the bay river lake I like the yak. That look easy to move around with the wheel's.
I’m getting one ASAP!
I am so torn. It's amazing and awesome because this needed to exist in the market for so long. I just expected a little bigger capacity/length for a 'motor ready' setup. 55aH batt+50lb thrust motor+average cooler of ice/drinks is already 100+lbs of gear...plus your fishing gear (or camping gear), safety gear, kayak essentials. Anchor, paddle, crates, tackle, transducer, bait bucket, etc, you're getting up there in weight. Might be motorized, but you'll still have to pack as if it were a typical pedal/paddle kayak. I think the big advantage is covering ground quickly with this setup. Can't wait to see what kind of speed people end up getting with various motor setups on this.
Really? Then you need a boat!
@@dcgo44r - Boats can't go where yaks can...even a flats boat is too tide dependant.
@@cup_and_cone 😂after you mention all that, better a boat!
This is awesome! I will add, I think the seat needs to be much higher and maybe have an add-on for foot pedals to steer.
Take my money ,that would a great boat to have.
I think its a great little boat but then see the price and have to wonder what am I missing here. Some pretty small wheels on the stern might get you down a boat ramp or paved trail but you will be supporting a lot of weight on the handle end and cant change out to sand wheels. A kayak cart would cost some money but you could center it and make it carry the load plus more tire options.
A 360 seat is okay and some gear track but I think the bass raider is hundreds of dollars cheaper, wider, and can seat two. I dont know I just dont get it I guess. Less plastic than the raider but since you can paddle it that makes it more?
The rod holder spots could be fitted with poles too hold up a canopy on hot summer days. Regards OAG !
Not much new here perhaps new to pelican but the motor and swivel seat have bin around for some time now with people doing it DIY . I'm more excited for the C HD 10 they have than the C power , think they should have done more in the pedal side of things rather than motors. They said they have 3 new kayaks unveiling at this trade show , one being the C HD 10 , wonder what the other 2 are.
Look like so many ideas together from CZcamsrs , good
CZcamsrs can’t take all the credit. We listen to our viewers. You influence the videos we make. My buddy Marty Zoffinger I think influenced this one the most. He works closely with Pelican and is sponsored by them.
@@KayakDIY good to know.
How long does a battery for trolling motor work for until it's dead. A pedal drive also is what this needs I dont see them selling many
Nice!!!!!
It looks a little like that new Jonny Boat? Great video, thanks!
Definitely some similarities yet some major differences as well. Adjustable 360 seat and integrated wheels being the two big ones.
I am looking into this hybrid kayak, I think that's a better term for it, but I haven't found any videos on how it does in a beach takeoff and landing situation. I live near the PCH so there's lots of spots to fish just need a small boat that can take off from shore to get to them.
I don’t think it would be great for surf launches. This boat does better I feel in small waves, lakes, inshore, slow rivers, and ponds. Solo Skiff is a better for surf launches and landing during offshore fishing. Solo skiff has self bailing deck and will be much safer. Skanu might even work for your needs. However, in my opinion Solo skiff is the best choice for surf launching fishing applications and offshore safety.
This or the Jonny Bass 100? We need to get some head to head reviews. I think the Bass has a few unique options, but this is a sweet little craft. Any idea what the retail would be?
Description says $1300... Yeah I dunno I like the wheels on it as well. The Jonny boat is cheaper on it's own... And they have the option to steer from the cockpit. I wonder how it takes wakes etc.
They need to make a 12 footer that will take a 5 horse engine
They are likely considering that. They have been reading comments.
What is the length from transom top to the surface of the water?
Where u get those wheels at? And what they're called?
Make a 12 to 14 foot length that takes a five hp motor I be definitely buying one
Sucks that Pelican omitted the built-in wheels this year. They would have come in very handy.
I know! I totally agree. Major bummer.
Was literally gonna say this same thing. Def would’ve saved me some money
Pelican should consider installing oars to this boat as it is too wide to paddle. Is it any better that Nucanoe Frontier 10? The wheels look useful.
People paddle the Nucanoe with kayak paddle and it is actually wider than this by 3”. This can easily be paddled. Just need appropriate length paddle. 250-260cm paddle is what I would likely use on it I imagine. I own a Frontier 12.
I just purchased a Catch from Academy Sports, however it did not have the rollers on the stern. Is this an add-on item?
To my knowledge at the time it was standard. However, might vary between stores or they forgot to install....I don’t know. So many kayaks and hard to track changes to them all.
Not included any longer.
@@joedanvers1010 that’s fine. I built a dolly that works great
I have that same kayak, I just need to be told where to get the tires
Does it take a 2.5 horsepower engine
Come on pelican put a pedal drive on that thing.
kambo209 thats Xactly what I was thinking - back up system and pleaser for it REVERSE TOO! Us retired folk would appreciate it as well! Can’t wait though.
Seems to me that the wheels are good for concrete only. Anything else and you'll be dragging. I think they should have Incorporated a kick stand of sorts that a pull rope would have dropped the wheels down out of the rear. Something wide that can handle loose pack as well.
Its alittle short but I get that, you could always put side stabilizers on it if you needed more stability, cool boat
True...should be pretty stable at 38” beam. Most fishing kayaks are closer to 34” or less.
Didint look to stable I have the 2019 catch 100 kayak and I wish there were more stability standing up and casting 😩 Pelican really need to up there game in that department!!!
Would be great with foot steering control for trolling motor
Agree, that would be easy to setup I’m sure. Lots of ways one could rig this thing.
If the seat height was adjustable, it would be perfect, it's to low...if you did put a 2.5 horsepower gas motor, where would you put a trolling motor?
36lb thrust newport vessels 24 inch shaft pushes my 13.5ft tandem with 500lb on it just fine.
I like this whatever you want to call it . Here in South Carolina you don't need to register a yak with an electric motor. Like others I would like to see a higher seat . I don't see how you can spin around without hanging your feet over the side. The rear trolling motor mount is odd. Are you supposed to turn around to drive with your back to where you're going?
South Carolina is awesome. Your feet do sit on the gunnels or over them when spinning around. I agree slightly with your comment on trolling motor. I just say a little sideways when motoring. I’m 6ft 2in tall. I put my feet on the side gunnels when sitting sideways motoring.
Like the idea...make it 12ft and i would buy it in a heart beat!
I agree, although I look forward to trying the 10ft. I think the 10ft would be awesome on the river runs and small backwoods lakes I fish.
KayakDIY buying this kayak tomorrow. Liked the video. This is exactly the purpose I’m buying for. I’m in the land of 10k lakes, and there are plenty of small hidden gems around me. Can’t wait to take to the water
Nice concept but for the price you can get their Pelican Bass Raider 10E for $950. Its longer, wider and seats 2.
1 More Kast how much is the catch pwr?
@@rb5379 under his description states $1,299 without motor
The Bass Raider is definitely something some will consider.
Yea a bass raider is the better value for sure.
But you can't (shouldn't) take a Bass Raider off-shore or in choppy coastal conditions. Of course this thing decked with a battery and motor, might not be the best idea, either. Probably going to lose the battery if you flip.
You have to register it.... I bought a nice ass 17ft center console/motor/trailer. For the price of that with a motor and battery.
What’s the dry weight of this bugger? Minnkota needs to step up their game and equip their trolling motors with a steering mechanism without having the angler needing to turn around to direct the movement.
Id say if you can afford it , get this with the Bixby Jet system . This was obviously designed to hit as many kayak spots as possible including small creeks etc , & trust me , draggin this over & under fallen trees , logs , etc , with a heavy motor , & heavier battery is BRUTAL , to say the least ! lol
Ronnie Patterson this with the Bixpy would allow me to cover a lot of miles on the rivers down here in Florida. My buddy and I do fossil hunting. Recently found mammoth and mastodon tusk/bones along with a few megladon teeth. Oh and it would be sweet for Bass fishing some backwoods areas I have seen.
Wow ! You sound like me ! The reason I got into kayaks to begin with is I grew tired of fishing spots being raped left & right by bass rigs 24-7 ! Its also the reason other than CZcams comments , im happily oblivious to all social media , never logged onto twitter , never read a tweet , instagram , fb, etc ! I LOVE my secret kayak life ,& wouldnt trade it for anything . Water dropping & finding civil war thingys , petrified teeth , tools , on occasion ,sleeping in caves twice , & whalloping 5lb Spots , & 10lb Largeies feeds my soul , ya see? lol
@@ronniepatterson2827 keep it that way budy! And be happy!
@Fishing Rod Will do sir , & couldnt be any more tbh . lol
Make a catch 22
A couple hundred more dollars you can get an awesome nucanoe longer, wider, and more stable. A whole lot more options, just my opinion. Thanks.
Aubrey Boykin definitely something some folks will take into consideration. Nucanoe would need the cart which is added cost. This wouldn’t. Not arguing just bringing up something others might think about. I own a Nucanoe Frontier by the way. I also own tons of Pelican kayaks. I’m pretty non-bias.
@@KayakDIY no comparison from nucanoe frontier! It is a wide 12 footer! Very stable...it is in other league! But truly I think it is very outdated more than 7 yrs old and wonder how no one has catch on the them! Other companies had done something similar but they do overkill or fall short like this pelican! What an opportunity have I missed...Lol!
Wish they still came with wheels..
What available wheels ?
They seemed to have changed the design after the show and don’t seem to offer it with wheels anymore. That kinda stinks because that was a selling feature I liked.
When will these be for sale ?
Early 2020 I believe is what I saw. I will keep video description updated with info as it comes in. Might know more first week of July when I go meet the team in person.
Did they say how much?
$1299 without motor.
I like the idea. Would love to see it in 13 foot, but 1200$ is crazy town!
I want one.
I do to kind of. I love the hull design, size, integrated wheels, and 360 seat setup. Looks like a great all around adventure boat. This little craft looks like it would make it easy to get on the water and covering lots of ground. Biggest competition is Johnny Boat Bass 100 & Nucanoe. Although both those competitors don’t have integrated wheels and to me that just makes this thing so easy to use.
Did they announce price?
$1299 is their target price without motor.
Seems a bit high
А где весла, а где педали? А что делать если аккумулятор замкнет на воде. Даже по видите видно насколько неудобно рулить электромотором вперёд. Насколько я помню на рыболовных каяках всегда есть место под ящик с уловом, куда обычно закидывают лёд перед поездкой, а тут он где, а ставить его куда. При двух корпусной схеме корпуса, каяк можно было сделать и по устойчивее. Более выявив поплавки, можно было бы:
1. Улучшить устойчивость;;
2 поднять над водой пространство между поплавками, что позволило бы применить педальный привод, улучшило работу винта электродвигателя, снизило площадь смоченной поверхности и уменьшило сопротивление.
Продукт сырой, из плюсов только внешний вид.
I see a lot of potential problems with this yak. Rough terrain could cause damage where the wheels are. I've seen it with other types. It looks alittle stable but also alittle sketchy. You could stand on it for sure, but casting and setting hooks could be scary. The short length takes away stability also. Also the plastic these yaks are made of aren't very durable. Shallow creeks with big rocks will destroy this thing in no time. I know that from my own personal experience with pelican. I've recently purchased a nucanoe frontier 12 and will never purchase another brand from this point on. Has everything this pelican does and more. Better stability, more room, 650 lb weight capacity, tracks from front to back, option for tandem. And a pedal system you can remove easily if you want. Just a thought, if you're going you spend that kinda money on a yak, get something you'll be happy with for years to come.
Was your pelican kayak that got banged up made with ram-x plastic?
I want
Does anyone know how it does in shallow
Fine. It doesn’t draft much and you can set trolling motor draft to be shallow.
I got a feeling they got the idea from Marty zoffinger
Zak blobaum Or vice versa ? His upload where he put an outboard on a yak , a month & change before his sponsor dedut this thing seems kinda . . . odd ? lol Or him being a fisherman , the timing on it seems kinda . . . ? imo lolx2
Yes, sounds and looks fishy. Somebody better call CGIS !!

Why did most taller and big peoples got a lighter kayak but except me..I got a 90lb kayak and I am only 5.6”
😂
How much money?
Chigger X9 all the pricing details are listed in video description. I left them out of the video because prices change a lot. I can update video descriptions but can’t update videos once they are uploaded.
Chigger X9 currently the price is listed at $1299 MSRP
They require a boat registration when a motor is attached.....
In many states and countries that is correct, but not all. Just depends where you live. Pelican is an international kayak brand. They have worldwide distribution. Some places only require registration for motorized crafts over certain hp or thrust. Customers will just need to look up their own local laws.
Sorry my brother I don't really like it the concept is good but when you step back and look at it it looks like it's missing half of it I think it should have been longer maybe like a Hobie Pro Angler 14 ft minimum 12 foot I mean if you can add a little motor to it why not make it just a little bit longer it looks like a little tiny bathtub I can probably take my 6 month old baby a bath in there but again just Food For Thoughts my opinion I think it's a good idea of what they've done but they're cut short
Pelicans are cool if you're broke. but the plastic is as cheap as it geats almost. Its just milk carton plastic that is layered.
The concept is great but the design and layout missed the mark. If can be paddled, wear are the paddle holders on the left and right? One for a paddle, the other for a push pole. Still doesn't look as stable as my Diablo that holds 600 lbs. Not enough room for my cooler either.
No motor/foot petal, Bulky, 10 ft, poor transducer holder design?! I wouldn't pay $1299 for it. Nope, I'm sorry....
Appreciate the feedback.
What would get you to buy one?
*i have no vested interest in Pelican, but I’m just curious*
@@KayakDIY Just too short. Make this say 11 ft or so and it would be more seaworthy and have better stability. Close but no cigar.
This will require a license, otherwise known as a tax on your fun since it is motorized. Not for me.
not for us in canada !
Its def way over priced... It serves no additional function than the bass raider... Its just skinnier and has a seat that spins. There are way better options at the price point than this. Fishing and having to reach backwards instead of forward to control the boat is very inconvenient... Nothing about this craft makes sense to me
GSTIX Bespoke Fishing it’s all preferences. This thing you can pick up move around and paddle. Some people say put pedal driver . Now that’s overpriced . So this has more advantages than the raider. So yes more function
The stability looks horrible!!!
Nice but not impress
It looks very cheap!!!!
No front controls for the operator. They took someone’s internet idea and mass produced it.
No ingenuity or originality seen here!👎🏻
Someonel idea? Docents of people in CZcams you mean! Not this one!
Not really sure why anyone would pay this much for a Pelican. Nothing new or exciting here other than being pre-wired. No rudder so you can’t foot steer the motor, it’s only 10’ long so it’s not going to handle chop well, and the catch series kayaks aren’t that stable. You can get a FeelFree Lure 11.5 for the same price, and there are many options for a foot steered motor, plus they are much more stable and their customer service is much better. Pelican has the worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with.
It’s just too small, and that bow is a joke. Any decent wave, and you’re in the drink. Does that look safe to you??? Yeah, let’s make the bow 4 inches off the water, doh!!
