Members Steve white Posted July 9, 2015 Members Posted July 9, 2015 I bought a Mokia in April. It is the new 3 pc. Model. I can haul it in the back of my 6 ft truck bed. It can be assembled in 8 min. The motor is a Suburu 7hp. It uses unleaded gas and goes 15 mph. It has a push button starter and a small stick stearing. It handles great. I have had it I the Mississippi and Meramec. THIS boat is every thing I wanted it to be. I can also paddle it like my solo canoe. MOKIA says one can stand up in it and cast but I'm not agreeing with that just yet. They cost about 5,000 with delivery. ALL AND all I'm very happy with it. It takes no room to store. And assembled it's 175 lbs and 11 ft long. sw
Members Steve white Posted July 9, 2015 Author Members Posted July 9, 2015 One last thing,I retire in September and I plan to fish a lot. As I live one mile from the Meramec. I needed away to go up stream. I also didn't want a big jet boat in the garage. This boat can be stored in 3 pcs,with the center section 6 FT long standing up.
Flysmallie Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 That's cool Steve. Sounds like a neat boat. Enjoy it and that retirement.
jdmidwest Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 There has been a group of them on the lower Spring River this year in Arkansas. Pretty nifty machines. I thought about one when I first saw them several years ago. But I can find a well used jon boat with a jet on it for about 5k, much more efficient to fish from.

Members Steve white Posted July 9, 2015 Author Members Posted July 9, 2015 The new ones that came out in 2015 are a BIG upgrade from the ones you see on Youtube. The old one pc boats were good but the upgrades on the new one is worth the money.
