Great boat (and yes it paddles like a boat/aircraft carrier but than again I made the switch from a trident 15 so this is a completely different yak style for me) my only complaint is when moving water tends to splash up threw the scuppers causing you to get wet... really annoying considering there there to drain the yak and keep you dry not flood the deck... but other than that I love mine so much I have 2 hahaha

I Had an Xfactor and loved the Kayak, it paddled well, wasn't too tough to paddle, it was stable, dry, and a very good boat all around. I read someone called it a beast to paddle, but I do not agree with that.

x factor

It was my first set-up. I still have it and really like it. very big and stable. Could carry me + my boy. A lot of room. Heck, I think you could stow camping gear on that thing. Super stable, I could stand and fish. It is like a big plane, it takes some effort to get it started but once it's going it goes.

That malibu sale looks like a great deal for a "Blem". Mine is a blem and you'd never know, so I wouldn't worry about that.

give me a PM if you are interested in picking one-up that is all set up (scotty rod holders, gator hatch, x-wing, bait tank, lowrance ff, seat, paddle, and bait tank). Mine was configured to run w/ a trolling motor and has foot cables to navigate. I'v stopped using the trolling motor when the battery went bad.

Mine is just hanging in the garage. It is sad (I can tell) because it's not getting used.

For me it was this boat or a Jackson cuda. I picked the Jackson because it suited me better. Test different boats and see which one you like the most.
