Malibu X13 review - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

j mo · 09-21-2009, 10:31 AM

I've been on a x13 for over a year. It's as tipsy as David Hasslehoff and drinks water from nearly every rivet! The center hatch might as well not even have a cover on it as water finds it way through easily. I need to take it back in but haventt found the time.....

To be fair my center of gravity is a bit high. The second I get bit both feet go over the sides to prevent the dreaded dump, of which I had my fair share.

In retrospect I should have gone with x factor, Id give up the supposed speed of the x13 for stability any day.

Tipsy?? Looking at your avtar photo says the complete opposite. sitting side saddle with a fish that size, If thats unstable, Id love to see what you consider stable...........an oil rig maybe?
