The Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ fishing kayak is gearing up to make waves as we head into 2024. In this ultimate review, we break down our first impressions, on-the-water performance, and final thoughts after putting it to the test.
From innovative power-assisted pedaling to real-world fishability, we’re covering everything you need to know. The big question is—is the ePDL+ the right kayak for you?
The Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 136 has officially landed at my doorstep—and today, you’re getting my raw, first impressions as I unbox it for the very first time.
Widely considered one of the premier fishing kayaks on the market, this award-winning rig has even been dubbed by some as the first true “smart kayak.” Powered by a 45-lb thrust Minn Kota motor, it features GPS-enabled I-Pilot technology with Spot-Lock capability—allowing you to hold position with precision at the push of a button.
This is just the beginning. After I get some serious water time behind the wheel, I’ll be dropping a full, in-depth review. For now, sit back and enjoy the unboxing.
Is the Old Town Sportsman BigWater PDL 132 still worth it today—and does it continue to reign as the ultimate saltwater fishing kayak?
Tune in as I break down my personal on-the-water experience, dive into performance, durability, and fishability, and give you an honest review of the kayak I trust every time I launch offshore.
