Is pedal drive necessary

[surfshotmoto]

I have both. If your fishing get pedal. Paddle is a big pain fishing. Also pedal uses your legs which are much stronger so you can overcome wind and current easier.

Yes and yes.

I am selling my 14' paddle and maybe later my 13' Outback.

I am keeping my 11" Hobie inflatable with pedal.

Order a Malibu Express and get a good paddle and seat and you'll be the swiftest thing on the water lol.

I have owned both and caught more Yellowtail on my paddle kayaks then on my 2016 Hobie Revo 13. Every time I use my Solo Skiff, I get more impressed at it's ability in surf launching and landing, rough water, wind, current and stability. Neither paddle or pedals can even come close to the power of the 6 hp outboard while using about $2 of gas in 6-8 hours in La Jolla. I think I've launched at La Jolla about 12 times since July 23rd. The Solo Skiff isn't just a game changer, it's on another planet! Here's a couple picts, 1st is at the La Jolla Shores launch and the 2nd a Yellowtail release.

Of course its on another level its not a yak. Just like going from a bicycle to a car and being impressed by how far you can go in a day. solo skiff = jetski fisher.

How much that unit weigh?

How do you transport it?

Not on a roof I would guess.
