The Verdict
The Old Town Sportsman BigWater 132 is a specialized platform designed for anglers who prioritize open-water stability and massive storage over lightweight portability. Its performance tri-hull excels in tracking through chop while maintaining a rock-solid base for standing, a combination rarely perfected in 13-foot kayaks. Users consistently praise the Element Seating System for its ergonomic high/low positioning and the versatile center console, which keeps tackle and electronics organized and accessible.
The primary trade-off is the 86-pound hull weight, which makes solo car-topping a challenge and necessitates a high-quality cart or trailer for transport. Additionally, the omission of a paddle at this premium price point requires an extra initial investment.
However, these drawbacks are easily outweighed by the kayak's 425-pound total capacity and its over-engineered durability. For the serious angler facing coastal conditions or large lakes, the BigWater 132’s seaworthiness and rigging flexibility provide a professional-grade experience that justifies the cost, making it a high-value investment for those who need a dependable, big-water workhorse.
