Thanks I checked that out. The only molded seat they have is a bow seat and I’m not sure how wide it is and if it would work. Was hoping for a kit that I know will work. Really, I’d love to get something as close to my Next seat as possible. I love the seat in the Next but hate the weight...

Looking for an Angler seat kit for an Old Town Pack. If you have one with all the necessary hardware and want to sell it please let me know! I have paypal and don’t mind paying for the shipping if needed. Thanks!

I now know why some people call this a “tub”, it is much wider than my next but feels tippier initially. Must be because of the high seating position? Still, I like it! Paddled around and fished for a couple hours and didn’t have any issues besides my back killing me lol. Definitely need to...

Can anyone recommend a good single blade paddle for the Pack? I’m 6’ tall. Currently watching Rugged Outdoors’ paddle videos now to get some insight🙂

Thanks! Glad to finally get my hands on a decent example.

I did some searching and have found a few photos and a video of Packs that have the same deck as mine. Weird but doesn’t seem like it’s anything to worry about. I think I’ll use it the rest of this season and see if it needs any modifications.

My new Pack!!! Looks like mine is the last year but for some reason they used these decks instead of the other ones. Who knows why this one came with this style deck but the owner said the boat is 100% original. Maybe Old Town just used bits and pieces to make the last few Packs? Especially...

Ill ask him if hes replaced anything. He said he bought it new 10 years ago so he is the only owner. Would that hurt the value or make it weigh more? Thanks for all the info!!! Edit: I see what you mean by decks (I dont know all of boat terms yet). I think maybe that writing was his...

No its in Maine. There is a picture on the inside too that he had scribbled over something in black marker. I assumed it was his name and address or something but maybe the Orchard logo? Ill find the photo and post it.

My next has the badge but the Pack i’m getting does not have one in the photos. Must have veen removed at some point.

Clemens, is that your Pack? Did some of them come with the OldTown badge/plate or was that added?

Haha thanks guys. I might well get a regular paddle. I’ve never used a kayak but my guess is that paddling the Next is more like paddling a kayak than a canoe and would be hard for me with a single blade. You sit down into it and for me, once I’m in the seat I’m not moving much. Kind of...

Do you guys think the 260 kayak paddle that I use with my Next will work just as well for the Pack or should I be on the lookout for a different paddle as well?

Good point!
