I picked up my New Nucanoe Pursuit from Froggy Waters Outdoors, yesterday, Spent about 4 hours in it fishing from the high seat position. Those have fished with me know I always fish from the lowest seat position that i can. But the high sat felt good.
STABILITY:
It has ROCK steady initial stability and unbelievable secondary stability. With assistance from Gary we rocked it over so that I could get a feel of the secondary stability. I feel that I would fall off of the boat before I could flip it.
SPEED:
we were paddling in a large pond so I didn’t really push it that hard, but I can tell that it is going to be much faster than my 14’5 Slayer. When I get the GPS/FF on it I will let you know the exact numbers.
GLIDE:
It is absolutely the quietest boat I have ever paddle. When you lift the paddle out of the water there is no noise. It cuts the water that smoothly and will continue to glide quietly on and on. I have never been in a boat that smooth before and had to back paddle to stop forward movement a few times. It will be perfect to slipping quietly up on a school of feeding fish.
WIND: ‘
we had a mild breeze that sometimes was a little stronger than that, I never noticed any effect from the light wind that hit us from time to time.
I am looking forward to updating this as I spend more time in the boat. If the river doesn’t get blown out from the upcoming week of rain I will be fishing more from my Frontier for the next two weekends. I do have a 3 day weekend trip to the NC coast coming up in OCT it is always windy there, the best fishing requires a length paddle, and I usually troll between spots. So there should be plenty of info gather there for a better review.
COMFORT:
It has the most comfortable seat I have ever sit on that was not in someones living room. The extra length of the seat keeps your legs from losing circulation, and allows a place to set the rod but when you put one rod down to pick up another.
ACCESSORIES:
the nearly full length track makes it possible to customizes in near infinite ways. The rod tubes in the bow are similar to the set up in a rod box with half the length of the rod protected and the handles can be put under a strap in the rear,
