Why We Like The Sportsman Autopilot 136 Kayak
Old Town not only motorized the Sportsman Autopilot 136 Kayak, but also equipped it with a Bluetooth-connected remote that provides hands-free navigation so we can cast more and paddle less. The remote features Autopilot navigation that adjusts the motor's speed and direction displayed on a sun-friendly screen, and Spot-Lock technology keeps the kayak in place when we've reached our destination.

Best Fishing Kayak.
I have been fishing tournaments in an autopilot for years and love everything about it! Stable in any kind of water- rivers, big lakes like Champlain or Guntersville to small local ponds. Seat is extremely comfortable for those 10 hour days. Spotlock keeps you on the fish. Plenty of room for accessories and tackle.

Amazing Kayak with Great Stability
I bought this in 2022 and haven’t looked back. The built in trolling motor, with spotlock is amazing. I can’t tell you how often I have used this feature to stay on a spot, especially in wind conditions. It is extremely stable and being a big guy (6’6 and over 330lbs) I have no issues standing and fishing from the Auto Pilot.

A Fishing Machine!
This kayak is by far my favorite one to use when it comes to straight up fishing. Boat control is everything and the ability to do it hands free means more casts and more fish. If trolling is something you do, this kayak has you covered. You can set a heading, set a speed, deploy your rods and your fishing. I tend to bring a lot of gear and I fish big water so for those reasons the 136 was the best choice for me. My son and I fish kayak bass tournaments and we fish on Lake Michigan trolling for salmon, I've even mounted an electric down rigger on it! This kayak preforms amazingly and it's always a "fight" over who gets to use it. Because I fish long days coupled with trolling on big water, I run an Amped Outdoors 160 lithium battery. A lot of people would be just fine with a 100ah battery. It's a large purchase I've never regretted and my son keeps asking, "when are we getting another one ? "

Gamechanger
The Old Town AutoPilot 136 is a game-changer! The motorized Minn Kota trolling system with GPS Spot-Lock makes navigating and holding position effortless, even in windy conditions. Its stability is unmatched, perfect for standing while fishing. The front and back decks are big enough to hold all of my gear. This is the ultimate hands free fishing rig that’s worth every penny!

Extremely stable!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my Autopilot 136 for almost 3 years now and love everything about it! I tournament fish big bodies of water 30+ times a year and have never been concerned with stability. Love the spacious deck and all the storage. My favorite thing is the spot lock! Makes it easy when landing and measuring a fish!

Unbelievably Stable Kayak!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Autopilot 136 since release and it’s the most stable kayak I have ever owned. I use the spotlock features to hold position and the hand held remote to navigate so I can stand while fishing.

My Favorite Old town EVER
I'm mostly a vertical jigging angler. The spot lock feature of this kayak is worth its weight in gold for vertical jigging. The autopilot function is great for hands free travel, allowing me to prep on my way to my fishing spot.

The Ultimate fishing kayak
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an angler that has fished in several brands of kayaks I couldn’t be more happy with the Autopilot. Having a spotlock enabled motor already integrated in the kayak and not having to fumble around with extra wiring and aftermarket products makes a huge difference. Also the Ember color is very visible from long distances. The kayak is very stable, relatively quiet, and just all around cool!

Can’t recommend this kayak enough!
The Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 136 has truly revolutionized my fishing experience! After owning this kayak for several years, I can confidently say it’s worth every penny. The standout feature for me is the Minn Kota trolling motor with Spot-Lock technology. Being able to anchor in place with the push of a button, regardless of wind or current, has allowed me to focus entirely on fishing instead of constantly adjusting my position. The stability of this kayak is unparalleled, giving me the confidence to stand and cast without worry. Its spacious deck and makes it a breeze to organize all my gear, while the comfortable seat ensures I can spend long days on the water without fatigue. What truly sets the Sportsman Autopilot apart is how it transforms the way I approach fishing. I can cover more water efficiently and position myself perfectly for each cast. Whether I'm exploring new waters or revisiting my favorite spots, this kayak makes every outing more productive and enjoyable. If you're serious about fishing and want a reliable, feature-packed kayak that will elevate your experience, the Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 136 is a game-changer. I can’t recommend it enough!

Four Year Review!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this kayak for 4 years and fished over 200 kayak tournaments using this rig. I have had zero issues, and always feel safe on the water knowing that she will get me back safe and sound. Handles big water great, and is a super stable fishing platform with room to spare! I stand up and fish 99% of the time. Highly recommended!
