For the angler who aspires to fish with no limits, the Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO is a compact electric pedal-driven boat that moves like an e-bike on water so you can get to your fishing spots with ease and speed. The award winning ePDL+ technology provides the flexibility to offer extra power and assistance when you want it with manual pedal, power-assisted pedal, or fully motorized cruise control.
The Sportsman PRO line is equipped with superior rod and tackle management, offering more space, storage, and options that rival big bass boats and allow each angler the freedom to customize their craft the way they want
Who is the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO best suited to?
The Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO suits anglers who want power-assisted pedaling plus the rigging capacity of the PRO deck.
It is 12 ft long, 36 in wide and 153 lb assembled, carrying 395 lb, with a 36V lithium battery and charger supplied.
It carries 38 lb more usable load than the longer BigWater ePDL+ 132, which is why it takes a heavier electronics setup.
How much weight can the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO carry?
The Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO is rated at 561 lb total and 395 lb usable.
Usable capacity is what is left after the boat itself. The 153 lb assembled figure already covers the 107 lb hull, the 31 lb drive console, the 6 lb seat and the battery, so those do not come off again.
At 395 lb usable it carries 38 lb more than the BigWater ePDL+ 132 and 172 lb more than the Malibu ePDL+ 120.
What does the ePDL+ drive on the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO do?
The ePDL+ drive on the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO combines a mechanical pedal drive with an electric motor, giving three ways to move.
Pedal it manually with no power, add one of five levels of power assist while you pedal, or engage cruise control and stop pedaling.
Reverse works in manual pedal mode. The backlit display shows the mode and the battery level, and a locking rudder knob holds your steering position.
What battery does the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO use and how long does it run?
The Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO comes with a 36V 20Ah lithium-ion battery of about 8.5 lb and its charger, both included in the price.
Published test results on a new, fully charged battery in flat water with a moderate load are 46 hours in Cruise 1, 23 hours in Cruise 3 and 3 hours in Cruise 5.
They are test figures under stated conditions, not a promise of what you will see on your water. The figures step down as the cruise setting rises, because a higher setting draws more power. The Old Town battery support page sets out charging and storage requirements.
Can the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO still be pedaled if the battery is flat?
Yes, the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO pedals manually with no power at all, which is one of the drive’s normal modes rather than a workaround.
You lose power assist and cruise control, but the mechanical drive works exactly as a standard PDL Drive does, including reverse.
Keep a paddle aboard anyway, since shallow water and weed require the drive to come up whatever the battery is doing.
What registration requirements apply to the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO?
The Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO may require registration because it has motorized propulsion.
Power assist counts as motorized propulsion even when you are pedaling under your own power. Registration, numbering, education, equipment and operating requirements vary by state and can change.
Check the current rules with the boating authority for every state where the kayak will be operated. The U.S. Coast Guard state boating law directory lists them.
Can the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO be used in saltwater?
Yes, the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO is built for salt as well as fresh water, and its power-assisted drive is a saltwater-ready design.
Rinse the hull, drive, propeller and aluminum accessory tracks with fresh water after every salt trip, and work the drive through its range as you rinse.
Keep water off the display and battery terminals, dry the thru-hull wiring connections, and store the battery indoors.
How is the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO transported and stored?
Take the battery, the 31 lb drive console and the 6 lb seat out of the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO before moving it, which leaves a 107 lb hull from 153 lb assembled.
Roof capability is decided by the lowest of your vehicle roof rating, crossbar rating and rack rating, and by whether you can lift that weight to that height.
A cart or trailer may be more practical, depending on the vehicle and the rack.
What warranty applies to the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO?
Coverage on the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO is split by component and the periods are different for each.
The hull and deck carry limited lifetime coverage for the original retail purchaser. The ePDL+ counts as an electric drive system, so two years applies rather than the five-year mechanical PDL Drive period. The supplied Amped Outdoors battery has its own two-year term, administered by Amped Outdoors. Accessories are covered for one year.
Claims begin with Old Town or the relevant component manufacturer. We can help identify the right support path, but coverage is decided under the Old Town warranty terms.
How should the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO be looked after?
Rinse the Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 PRO and its drive after every trip and check the propeller for line and weed.
Charge the battery with the supplied 36V charger and store it indoors between 40F and 80F rather than leaving it aboard through a cold night or a hot afternoon.
Keep the thru-hull wiring ports dry and store the hull shaded and evenly supported.
