Built for big lakes and long runs to the far bank. Our score: 6.6/10, “good”. Not in our top rankings.
The BKC Brooklyn 12.5 Pro Motorized next to two motorized fishing kayaks that come closest to it in build and rating.
The maximum the listing states for paddler plus gear. It is a seller figure, not a stability result: add your own load in our <a href="/kayak-capacity-planner/">capacity planner</a> and keep a real margin below it.
A big number on paper: enough headroom for a heavier angler, a crate, a cooler and a battery. It is still the seller's maximum, so keep a margin of your own.
Long runs to the far bank stop eating your arms, and you arrive with energy left for the fishing. Check the battery and registration rules before day one.
Room for a spare rod rigged with another lure, plus one for trolling. On the water, not having to re-rig is half the fun.
The far bank is no longer a two-hour paddle. You get there fresh, fish longer and come back before the wind picks up.
Motor, if you cover big water and want to arrive fresh.
If you fish small ponds, the battery, the weight and the registration may be more hassle than help.
These points come straight from the seller's listing, in the brand's own words.
Getting to the water. A roof rack or a trailer, then a cart or a friend for the walk to the water.
On the water. Run to the spot on the motor, then fish. Keep an eye on the battery for the trip back.
After the trip. Rinse the drive with fresh water, especially after salt, and store the hull out of the sun.
What you get. An adjustable seat, 3 rod holders, the trolling motor.

The BKC Brooklyn 12.5 Pro Motorized earns its place with a stated 558 lb capacity and motor power for the long runs. Only 47 buyers have rated it so far (4.0/5), so treat the score as an early read. Where it falls short: their 4.0/5 average sits under the 4.3 of our ranked picks. We'd pick it if you are a bigger angler or you carry a lot of gear; otherwise, put it next to the Spatium 11.5 ft Flipper Pedal + Motor first.
Before you order the BKC Brooklyn 12.5 Pro Motorized and wait for the delivery truck, check the battery and the registration: the motor is only half the system, and many states ask for registration on motorized kayaks.
Your weight plus the crate, the cooler, the anchor, the PFD and the battery. Compare it with the stated 558 lb and keep a margin: our capacity planner does the sum.
Check the length: picture your roof rack, the lift onto it and the corner of the garage where it will live.
Check whether the battery is included. A motorized kayak may need registration in your state: check before the first launch.
A PFD that meets U.S. Coast Guard rules, a light if you fish at dawn or dusk, and the registration rules of your state boating authority.
