My $0.02
Deck layout, storage, price... all fine. Workable -- just as most kayaks out there for fishing. Nothing spectacular and nothing terrible. Rod holders are cheap... What are they? $8-$10 each? No big thrill. What makes it really cool is the built in bait tank and this is what will make or break the deal for me. Whether the intake and exhaust ports are molded into the boat as one-piece. No sealing leaks, no connections to drip, no cutting holes in the hull. (which is what drove me away from the kayatank). With the tank inside the hull, instead of sitting up on top, there will be a low center of gravity and clear rear deck space. Definitely adds a value where previously unavailable. I think a few boats are getting close, like the new 2012 X-factor, but not quite... Even though there is a tank that could be converted into an internal bait tank, you still need to cut holes in the hull to complete their internal tank. I am waiting to see how close to complete the internal tank will be on this one. |
Can't wait to check this thing out. The Moken 10 and 12, are legit fishing kayaks, and I agree with Iceman, Eric knows his stuff.
There's a new kid on the block... :D |

i can't stop thinking about this kayak. WHO IDEA WAS THIS!!!!! Stop putting new TOYS UP ON THIS WEBSITE!!!! This looks so divine! One question, i noticed it does not have rod holders by your legs? Will it have a track system (which by the computer generated system it seems to have a track system) so you can hook up the mightymounts to it for fishing rods? |

[QUOTE=Di$co;97100]No sot fishing kayak is light and how can you not be hip on the weight if there isn't one posted yet? I'm not saying it will be light but with the wheel it will be very easy to get to the water. And I think the price is right in line, if not better then anything else in its class.
QUOTE] Easy Turbo::) You asked " I'm looking for feedback. Please post what you like and dislike about the boat" I was just going by their other models 10' angler @ 61 lbs 12' angler @ 73 lbs 13' @ 71 lbs Those are heavy kayaks. I don't care how you look at it. What's the dry weight on this one? It's a nice looking kayak no doubt You asked for feedback. That was mine :rolleyes: |

I just find it funny when people complain about weights of the fishing kayaks when they are all heavy. And for the record, Feel Free needs to get inline with posting the correct specs and weights for their boats. The catalogue says one weight and the website says another, and they are both wrong. If I was to fix the online typo the weights would be below. I think the 12' and 13' weights were switched as well. 10' angler @ 61 lbs (catalogue says 60.6 lbs) 12' angler @ 71 lbs (catalogue says 70.7 lbs under the moken 13 page) 13' @ 73 lbs (catalogue says 79.4 lbs under the moken 12 page) 14' ~ 74 lbs (just a guess) I am working on getting everything updated and correct. I took the liberty of posting up the specs of the more popular yaks everyone is using now. All of them are heavy. Ocean Kayak ***Note the weight difference. I don't think they are accurate since the is only a 16" and 18 lbs difference. That's over 1 lb per inch*** Trident Ultra 4.3™ Angler LENGTH 14' 1" / 4.3 m WIDTH 29.1" / 74 cm WEIGHT 59 lbs / 27 kg MAX CAPACITY 325-350 lbs SUGGESTED RETAIL $1,599.99 USD Trident Ultra 4.7™ Angler LENGTH 15' 5" / 4.7 m WIDTH 29.1" / 74 cm WEIGHT 77 lbs / 34.9 kg MAX CAPACITY 400-450 lbs SUGGESTED RETAIL $1,749.99 USD Wilderness Systems Ride - $1069 Length - 13'6" / 411 cm Width - 31.5" / 80 cm Weight - 82 lbs Capacity: 550 lbs. / 249 kg Tarpon 140 Angler - $1149 Length: 14' / 427 cm Width: 28" / 71 cm Weight: 75 lbs. / 34 kg Max Capacity: 375 lbs. / 170 kg Tarpon 160 Angler - $1239 Length: 16' / 488 cm Width: 28" / 71 cm Weight: 83 lbs. / 38kg Max Capacity: 375 lbs. / 170 kg Malibu Stealth 14 - $1299 Length: 14’4” Width: 33” Weight: 64 lbs Weight Capacity 550 lbs Hobie Outback - $1849 Length: 12' 1" / 3.68 m Width: 33" / .84 m MirageDrive® Weight: 6.6 lbs / 3 kg Hull Weight: 66 lbs / 29.9 kg Total Weight: 72.6 lbs Capacity: 400 lbs / 181 kg Mirage Revolution 13 - $1849 Length: 13' 5" / 4.09 m Width: 28.5" / .72 m MirageDrive® Weight: 6.6 lbs / 3 kg Hull Weight: 58 lbs / 26.3 kg Total Weight: 64.6 lbs Capacity: 350 lbs / 159 kg |

Any updates yet?

They are flying in a Moken 14 to me mid Feb. OEX will have it on display at the Fred Hall Show and I will be there to answer any questions anyone might have. We are pretty much just waiting for the hatches to get finished. Oh, and there will also be a little brother, the new Moken 10 lite. 10'x30". I'll post a couple of pictures up shortly.

So... is there any pictures of this boat? did it show up for the show?
|
When are the 14's gonna be available?
|
There's a YouTube video from rapid media tv on the new moken 14 taken at OR a few weeks ago. Not that impressed from the video. The new 14' eddyline looks a lot better and half the weight. The eddyline caribbean (12') is an awsome yak and only weighs 45lbs

Having seen the new Moken in person I liked it a lot actually. Looking forward to having one in the store to paddle. I think it will surprise those who doubt it. New Track system from FeelFree is pretty awesome too.
