Freedom Hawk Pathfinder

Nothing comes close!!

User Info

Waters Fished:

Large Lakes
Small Ponds
Salwater Flats
Saltwater Bays

Used:

7-15 trips

Modifications:

Added an anchor system and use an electric motor. My Wilderness 14 was a gift to my girlfriend. If you fly fish, there is no other to compare to the joy of standing effortlessly during a double haul. I'm 6'4 and 230lbs and and I get around Cape Cod saltwater bays better than most. Best $2000 I ever spent. Keep your 30k$ hole in the water.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

Stability /stow abilities /motor /seating/versatile

Cons:

Some hardware

Spade's a spade & this is a boat

I have 2 kayaks. I almost exclusively fish my Pathfinder 142. It's heavy and it's slow but I wouldn't trade its stability for any other platform when I'm on the open bay or in the ocean. It's a SOT and it's a little wet but all things considered, I (again) wouldn't trade its sheer presence for a "drier" boat.

I have not really modified this kayak as much as I have just rigged it. 2 Ram rod holders plus its 2 standard, 5 Scotty mounts, a GoPro, anchor trolley and hoist and lots of fishing gear. Upgraded to Pro Angler seat.
