I still use my center console boat, but I fish mainly out of my S4 now. The 17 ft [pedal kayak] was stable but just too big and heavy, and I could hardly move it on land and in the water, even with my father helping me. The W300 was too small and it didn&#8217;t work for me.<br \/>\nI wanted to see the S4 before buying, but once I saw it I knew that was it.<br \/>\nI love my S4! This boat is so stable that I stood in one of its hulls as soon as I put in in the water for the first time, like you [Yoav] did in that video. This is not a kayak, it&#8217;s a boat.<\/p>\n<p>I used it once with a 2 HP motor together with a fishing buddy, but it was under powered, so I bought a 6 HP Suzuki long shaft, and it&#8217;s perfect. It goes fast!<\/p>\n<p>I took two of my friends in the boat, with the new motor, and we went fishing in a pond. Each one of us weighs about two hundred pounds. Two of us stood in the boat and fished, and the third guy stood on the front deck. I told him to get down from there, because I was afraid he&#8217;d capsize the boat, but he said that he feels okay, and he stayed there. We ended up standing, all three if us, and fishing. I couldn&#8217;t believe it. This boat is unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m planning to take it to North Carolina, and fish the shallow water next to the intercoastal. It will work better there than my big boat.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m working on a cart for it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17331\"
