Congrats. My first yak was a stealth 14. It is a barge. I found it on here for 500 bucks and have not regretted buying it. It has a bait tank and FF. All I had to do was re-wire it. I also have a pickup truck and bought a bed extender at harbor freight for 39.00 to transport it. Works great. Good luck and see you on the water.

I bought a used X-factor this summer and it's been a great first yak, you'll love yours. I second the suggestion of a bed extender, i got one for my Ranger and the x-factor fits perfectly on there. Don't worry too much about the fish finder yet but definitely get the seat, paddle and vest and get on the water, it's a blast!

The bed extender is a must for these short beds on some of these trucks. I also have reflective tape on the bar so that when traveling early in the morning or at night people can still see it. There are some crazy drivers out there.

Enjoy the kayak and have fun inventing your fishing platform.
