The Malibu ePDL+ 120 puts Old Town’s ePDL+ drive on its sporty 12 foot Malibu sit-on-top hull. The drive has five assist levels plus a cruise control mode that needs no pedaling, and it runs on an included 36V lithium battery. A universal transducer mount, shallow water anchor inserts and three flush rod holders cover fishing.
