Full listing title: Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot 120 Motorized Fishing Kayak with Minn Kota Trolling Motor (Ember Camo)
Built for anglers who cover water fast. Our score: 6.2/10, “fair”. Rated from the listing's stated specs (no buyer reviews captured yet).
The Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot 120 next to two motorized fishing kayaks that come closest to it in build and rating.
The listing describes autopilot-style control, so the kayak can hold a line while you fish. 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.
A rudder keeps the bow on line in a crosswind and lets you steer the motor from the seat instead of leaning back to the stern.
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 we'd buy the Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot 120 for is a built-in Minn Kota trolling motor, with rudder steering as a bonus. No buyer reviews yet, so this Old Town motorized kayak has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot 120: no stated weight capacity, while most of this list gives one. We'd pick it if you cover big water and would rather save your arms for the fish; otherwise, put it next to the BKC 10.5 Pro Motorized, Camo first.
Before the Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot 120 lands on your driveway, check the weight capacity: the listing gives no figure, so ask the seller or read the manual before you plan your load.
Without a stated capacity, the manufacturer manual is the only reliable source: get the figure before you plan a trip with gear.
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.
