Honestly, we love to hear it, We are always trying to create innovative fishing experiences. Wide stable kayaks are nothing new. The XTR design however adds features that fill the space btw a kayak and a small bass boat. Whatever you call it we hope it means more fun on the water and landing more fish!

Just some food for thought. I just download the map of the lake I am going to and the autoboat spot lock GPS system just automatically navigates me through the lake with minor adjustments made on my remote. Hands free fishing machine. It's so light I can pickup my boat lol.

I was excited for about 1/2 a minute, and then I realized this is no longer a kayak. It's a skiff! which means paddling it would be hellish. battery dies because you got caught in a strong current boom, you have to paddle 4miles against current and no can do... Furthermore, since this will follow the price inflation protocols we have seen for kayaks since 2015, this boat will also be in the price range of a skiff or larger used bass boat. It is sad to see how completely Kayak designers have forgotten the essence of what a kayak fishing platform is. It is frustrating to see how they have gotten caught up in an arms race for the most expensive biggest "kayak like" boat they can make. (kind of following the ridiculous midsize truck race to the bottom). Here is the thing Bonafide, and all the other expensive kayak makers: #1 a kayak needs to be GREAT at paddling or pedaling. it should be stable for sure but also fast. this should always be the case WITHOUT a motor. #2 a kayak can't weight so much that a single kayaker exhausted after fishing/paddling/peddling all day, can't easily get it onto their vehicle. #3 perhaps most important a plastic KAYAK cannot be a similar price to a larger more practical fishing boat used or new, ie if your Kayak cost as much as a used center console you have failed in your job. Sure Hobbie started the trend, but why follow it. (I am not talking about a carbon fiber ocean kayak, or wood lathe custom kayak, or an exotic material kayak or a competitive custom racing kayak). The economic issue here, is that the outdoor market will eventually come back down to earth from the ridiculous heights of the covid years, and you will have to figure out how to make money again through volume versus over inflated insane margins. Kayaks were always a tool for anglers to circumvent the overpriced excesses of the leisure/bass boat industries, now they just seem intent on competing with those overpriced toys by being even more ridiculous... Seriously what kind of kayak designer never mentions a paddle or paddling performance while presenting a new kayak?

Literally the rest of their lineup paddles fine. In particular, the RVR, RS, and SS. Maybe if they called it a micro skiff it would be more apt, but lots of people wish their kayak was more capable while still allowing it to be launched just about anywhere and hit skinny water. Also, re: price, this is MSRP of $2800. Where I am I can’t find a decent used center console for that and then I can only launch where there is a proper ramp.

I feel they need to have a drop-in slot for a pedal drive to give people the option of pedal, electric or gas. I was just at Lake Michigan at Kewaunee, went almost 3 miles out and had battery issues once I got out that far so no choice but to pedal back in my Native S;layer Max 12.5 which took more than an hour. I was glad I had my pedal drive to do that! Not having a pedal option on this craft would keep me from buying one.

I think it’s a great looking boat. If a guy is running tournaments. Pass that a guy might as well buy a nice small boat, I can’t imagine In practical use a guy probably would launch it off a boat dock every time. Rather it is 12ft or 14 boat. I do love the innovation ,and hard work that went into building it though, but everything you guys do is just awesome!!! Thank You for all you guys do for kayaking.

As someone who hasn’t rigged up too many boats or kayaks before, tutorials or in depth walkthroughs of basic setup options (like the tournament style at the end of the video) would be a huge help. Knowing which devices, poles, mounts etc. to buy and use, as well as how to mount them and wire them and set up breakers is a bit confusing to me. It’s hard to figure out where exactly to start.

Pretty sweet fishing kayak. Needs wheels for sure though. The entire reason I fish from a kayak and not a boat is access pionts. I made wheels for my SS107 and SS127 that go where the keel guards are, but I'm not sure they would hold up to 170lb kayak. Maybe add two mounts on the back for swivel wheels.

Nice 'Yak, Hans. Only thing is, no pedal drive system (for when you get a Big Bass on the line, and have to instantly back-up to stay out of the brush/bank!). I would've considered the STR130, but already grabbed a Titan-X 12.5 (with the NK300 and a 55 amp 36 V. batt.. Goes nearly twice as far as the Newport 30 amp batt..!). I think a lot of 'Yak Anglers might like, is the swivel seat. Lets you get to the BlackBox easier!

I think this product is a tiny boat, neither a kayak nor a traditional boat, it's a plastic tiny watercraft designed for calm water fishing only, for a single angler, for loading and unloading on prepared launch spots, carried on a trailer and poweree by limited motor options. If that matches your expectation, looks like a solid product for you.

That's probably my next kayak to chase the big uglies. My only concern at the moment is where we will mount our rod racks on the back. Im guessing we will use the seat tracking, just need to make sure it can withstand a permanent rod rack traveling at speed over 85mph touring the country. I don't believe there's a video out showcasing the tracking/mountability in the back. Trying to find pictures online but can't find anything quite yet. But I'm really digging everything else. I know yall didn't target catfisherman but this possibly became the best Kayak Catfishing platform pending we can set up rod holders. I just need to get my hands on one to see first!!

For those of us that purchased the XTR 130, this is what I can tell you in case they are unable to get back to you. 1- Foot Steering, the new system is not being shipped with Kayaks, nor is the steering Cord pre-wired. You will have to drill into Kayak to run these lines and use the existing foot braces/steering for now...But you will have to purchase a kit in order to do this. 2- Bow Motor Mount. There is currently no mount for the Xi3 Motor available. Ketch is going to be making one soon. I have the Xi3 Motorguide Trolling Motor but no way to put it on. 3 - Stern Motor Mount. IF you plan on Using Newport Vessels 300NK 300 , Note that the bolts they provide will not fit the Bonafide's Pre-drilled Holes. You can use the ones that Bonafide provide but they are smaller, and I have to admit, I have concerns about this solution as I am somebody that has purchased the 300NK Motor and hooked it up, does not seem that it will last very long, so I am hoping Bonafide addresses this as soon as possible as well.

Hey Charlie, 1. The boat ships with the Bonafide convertible Footbraces, but there are various ways to setup the foot steering so you'll want the flexibility to put the steering lines where you want. (there are tiny mold marks that show the most common drill points for running lines) We didn't pre-rig because of the all the rigging options. You can absolutely add the new Wizard footbraces when we get them out this fall/winter. 2. We do have a bow mount for the XI3 motor. If it's not available yet, it should be within a week or so. If you plan to run a bow mounted trolling motor, I would suggest using the Bonafide stern rudder, because it gives you so much control over the boat at speed and also drifting into tight places. 3. Bolting the NK300 to the stern has been done with the 1/4-20 thread works well, but the screws that come on the boat are only for shipping, so you'll need the longer version probably 1" thread length and may come with the NK300 kit. We will also be developing stern mounted plates for powerpoles and larger tiller motor mount this fall/winter Thanks, I hope this helps.

@@gonuts17 , Bolting the NK300, so if I am understanding correctly, we can use the existing threaded Holes, just use longer bolts? Also you mention using the bonafide Stern Rudder, if using XI3 Bow Trolling Motor, Am I going to be ok then running the two motor setup NK 300 in Stern , XI3 in Bow , I am thinking when Using the Trolling motor I can use the NK 300/Foot Steering to help keep it under control , at Speed?

@@charliepalmer2465 yes use a bolt that's at least 3/4 inch thread length for the NK Bracket. And Yes using both motors bow/stern works great. The NK motor gives you stern control too.

It's an option for a growing number of anglers who don't want or can't store/transport a bass boat. Options like this in the kayak market is bringing a lot more anglers to the sport.

I agree at some point it’s no longer a kayak. I fish bass tournaments and have my boat setup nice but not crazy, but I can still paddle if needed. This thing is 100% motorized, you’re not paddling this thing anywhere 😂.

@bonafidefish You really design kayaks really well. I'm kinda in automotive injection and blow molded plastics, so I understand engineering aspects. No Roto molding experience. Yes, I'm still in a blow molded budget kayak. I'm about to get a Native Slayer propel due to dry haul weight. But I love the design of the PWR and RVR. Keep it going!

The only problem is this is probably going to be the most expensive option on the market and to get it out on the water you still need to get a motro and what not so thats an even higher starting cost. If they had options for dropping in 1 or two peddle drives then i see this being very popular

I’m looking into getting a kayak and KZbin sent me here. It’s pretty wild to see all of the electronics these boats have and only powered by a 100ah battery. Is that enough power? I’ve run a dual battery setup in my van but I’ve also got a 100watt solar panel and charge controller that helps out during the day. Do people put solar on these boats?
