At 10 ft 6 in, the Topwater 106 PDL pairs Old Town’s DoubleU hull with the forward and reverse PDL Drive in a short, maneuverable package. You get an ElementAir seat, an oversized stern tankwell, two multi-position rod holders, EVA deck pads for standing, and a universal transducer mounting system. The short length helps around docks, laydowns and tight cover.

- The universal transducer mount makes adding a fish finder easier, so check your unit’s transducer style before you buy one.
KayakDIY take: A short pedal boat makes sense if you fish tight water and store the kayak at home. For the details, read my full Old Town Topwater 106 PDL review.
