Looks good, so what do you think of it?
Do you know the weight cap?

The specs on the Stealth 9 are very similar to the Mini X, just as the Stealth 14 are similar to the X Factor. I would guess as the tank holds 20-25 pounds of water that weight cap should be 250-275 lbs, just my guess. I plan to take the Stealth 9 out halibut hunting on Friday for a fair assessment of it's fishing capabilities. MSRP has yet to be determined.

Hey Iceman did you get out on the S-9 today?

Hit up Cherry Beach for a fun morning. Red tide was all over LB Harbor and was discouraging, but did not bother the bait or the fish. The sabiki put lizards, spanish and sardines in the tank and fished halibut. Dumped a keeper as it popped out of the red tide before I could see it. Shorts and raked baits.

Over all opinion of the Stealth 9 is that it is a pretty cool lil fishing machine. Planning to do a thorough review in short order.
