Pros: At 16 feet, the Adventure was the longest boat in the test. And with the MirageDrive propulsion system in place, it was also the fastest. With three hatches and a large rear cargo area, the Adventure is totally suitable for a weeklong fishing trip. Side storage areas, with net closures, offer instant access to your equipment. Options such as the kayak cart—a set of wheels that plug into the hull’s scupper holes—show that real thought and field testing went into this boat. The Adventure is best suited for more open waters. And with the MirageDrive system, one can follow a promising shoreline, trolling one rod and casting another one (check local regulations to make sure that fishing two rods is legal) into shoreline structure. We can’t think of a more effective way to locate and catch fish.
Cons: OK, we admit that we are paddling snobs and the MirageDrive system took some getting used to. However, its effectiveness as a fishing machine cannot be denied. Wider pedals and longer retention straps would allow those of us who live in colder climates to effectively use the MirageDrive system with waders.
