Paddle, pedal, power. The Old Town Sportsman BigWater ePDL+ 132 & LIthium Ion Battery Charger features a power-assisted pedal drive that delivers the ultimate versatility on the water. Old Town's patented ePDL+ system lets us switch easily from manual pedaling to power-assisted pedaling to fully motorized cruise control, so we can enjoy three modes of hands-free propulsion that keeps our focus on fish, not our paddle or our boat. The added electric power can boost our speed to catch up with our fishing buddies, help us power through wind and heavy current, or set cruise control, so we can rest our legs, re-rig our rods, enjoy some pedal-free trolling, or simply save some energy to extend our fishing time. Much like an eBike for the water, the BigWater ePDL+ gives us a power boost to take on bigger bodies of water, stronger river currents, and tidal conditions. The boat itself is a versatile 13-footer with enough stability for aggressive hook sets and stand-up fishing, and it features an adjustable seat with high and low positions for us to adjust our pedaling and fishing positions. Bow and center hatches let us stow some gear away from the water while a large stern tank well adds plenty of space for storage crates and coolers. The BigWater ePDL+ 132 includes accessory tracks and drillable plates to mount our accessories as well as rod racks, cup holders, and a Lithium Ion Battery to power up for epic days on the water.
