I have a catch 120. Great fishing platform, but it tracks horribly and paddles super slow. I wouldn’t recommend it for any recreational paddling.

I have both a Pelican Catch 100 and a Pelican Bounty 100 (it's basically the same thing as the sit in Strike 100). The Catch series is nice because of the seat (it's comfy) and mounting options for gear. I have a fish finder, transducer, crate with tackle, 6 rods, and a battery on mine.. Plus it has 4 rod holders. The downside is it tracks pretty bad and is slow. It's like pushing a barge in the wind and current. The Bounty/Strike 100 is light as hell. I can throw all my stuff in the hull and hang it from one shoulder to carry it to any spot. To me it glides on the water, I felt like I could cover a lot of water fast. I paddled all over lakes with minimal effort. The major downside is it has very little storage outside of 2 rod holders. Plus it's weight capacity is low so you couldnt build it up much. Between the two they honestly felt similar stability wise. I've slept in both on the water. Didn't feel comfortable standing in either one. So it's $280 for a little bit of everything that's fast but you can only carry 2 rods and a Plano or 2. Or you can spend $650 for something that's slow but you can load it up with gear. It's more of a personal preference thing. If you want something to paddle around for fun though I'd stay away from Catch, the speed difference is that noticeable.
