Malibu x factor

I'm new myself, and I did a ton of research and decided that I wanted the x factor. I found some at that place in Newport, and what you see is NOT what they have. I saw a nice tan yak on CL, then went in. Talked to some Arabic guy, he seemed clueless, then proceeded to try and sell me some beat to hell bright orange x factor. I then went to OEX, and got the basic package, and they installed the fishfinder and live well. After taxes, came out to about $1600. It's kind of big but has a ton of space and can hold 625 lbs. I love it so far.

I also just got a daiwa sealine, size 20. I wanted something light to cast a lot with irons when I start to fish yellowtail, and matched it up with a daiwa rod 8'. Reel was $135 I think, and rod was $100. Got it at The Long fin. They helped me pick that setup. I would have gotten a nicer rod like a cal star, or seeker but wasn't in the budget that day.
