Things to Consider before Buying a Motorized Kayak<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"I<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve never bought a fishing kayak before, then you should know motorized kayaks are the cream of the crop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their price tag does match their features, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also tend to be super heavy and forget about loading the kayak on top of your car<\/strong>. You need to put it in the bed of your truck, or even get a proper trailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth mentioning these are extremely durable boats that will last a lifetime<\/strong> with little maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, always bring a paddle with you<\/strong> in case the battery goes dead. It will happen<\/strong> at some point when you\u2019re feeling adventurous and covering 15+ miles. No battery will handle that much. And the boat has a convenient paddle holder so it won\u2019t get in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, this kayak is considered a motorized boat. As such, you\u2019ll probably have to register it<\/strong>. Please check your state laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, if money is not an issue and you want the absolute best fishing kayak out there\u2026 then a motorized kayak<\/a> is hard to beat. And the Autopilot 136\u202fis simply the best in this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
