Vibe Shearwater 125: Pedal, Paddle and Jet Motor Options
I check out the 2019 Vibe Shearwater 125 and the different ways to power it: paddle, pedal drive or a Bixpy jet motor.
What’s in this video
This is my look at the 2019 Vibe Shearwater 125 from ICAST. The big thing with this boat is choice. You can paddle it, use a pedal drive, or run a Bixpy jet motor.
The Bixpy setup attaches to Vibe’s new rudder. I made a separate short tutorial showing exactly how to install it, so check that out if you want the step by step. This one stays on the boat itself and what you can do with it.
Quick takeaways
- The Bixpy jet motor mounts to the new Vibe rudder, and I have a separate install tutorial for it.
