The Kayak Killer? Bonafide XTR130 Everything you wanted to Know

[@lowlifeangler]

I really like that Alex called it a "Boat" not a kayak. Good stuff Alex!

[@AliexFolgueira]

you know me, i call boats kayaks and kayaks boats and kayaks kayaks and boats boats and something something lol

[@lowlifeangler]

@AliexFolgueira There are cheap pieces of plastic you can float around in 😆. Hopefully, I will have a pedal one soon. I heard Wilderness Tactical pro won "best in show" due that XTR130 didn't or couldn't be on the entry list

[@ProjectReel]

was looking at their website while watching your video, looks like a very sturdy platform and very easily customizable.

[@moblack5883]

The plus about something like this is it will fit in your garage easily. No storage fees or travel to go pick up your boat. I stored my 16ft Carolina Skiff in my garage to cut costs but it sucked up all the space. Throw this on a jet ski trailer and you're good.

[@mmancino1982]

Lots of folks on other videos bitching about the $2,800 price tag and that it "doesn't come with anything" but consider this boat plus an Xi3 is still less than the cost of an Autopilot.

[@AliexFolgueira]

cost about the same, but the xi3 is gone they say

[@lunkerlandtv341]

@@AliexFolgueira gone ?

[@ccjames69]

I heard the non GPS version of the Xi3 will be discontinued.

[@lunkerlandtv341]

@@ccjames69 dang I didn’t know that good thing I have the gps version

[@CrazyCranker]

From the looks of it, this was designed for the Kayak Tournament Angler. Me personally, I would buy either the WS Recon120 or the Bonafide PWR 129.

[@fishingwithsauce]

Great vid Aliex!! I always love the content

[@fishingtimeletsgo598]

Those look pretty good - people are liking the propulsion over the pedal even at the greater expense - keep up the great reviews🎣👊👍

[@AliexFolgueira]

yeah, they wanna fish

[@riverabob26]

Why does this kayak remind me of the Nucanoe Unlimited?!? Channels, access plates, seat on tracks, etc… Plus the Unlimited is not as expensive!

[@adventureswithken1983]

I got into kayak fishing almost 13 years ago. I've gotten out of kayak fishing within the past 4 years. The way they are loaded with stuff, it's a small boat. And if I'm spending that kind of money, I'd rather buy a used Carolina Skiff.

[@brianphelps8783]

what is the brand name of the foot steering kit in this video? and what brand is the rudder?

[@Fishhunter78]

They should call that boat the NUerCANOE. 😅 At least they are recognizing the great features of the other companies. I mean, it seems like I've seen that floor, access plates, and seats from another company. They should send a thank you card to Nucanou.

[@cindyschnell]

Got one question how do you use the lock and load ? Reason why I'm asking is there is no way you can use the T bolt that comes with the base, this is going to be my next fishing boat

[@joejon4561]

Which would you choose between this or the wilderness tactical pro 128? Edit: Does the 130 XTR have support for micro power poles? Doesn't look like it.

[@AliexFolgueira]

has support for on in the rear, or bow, but not on the sides, i bet they will make a mount to add dual rear pp

[@AliexFolgueira]

I tried the tactical but I haven't try the xtr130 so I can't really say

[@phjl1963]

Hey first one today loving the show

[@AliexFolgueira]

@phjl1963 there was one this morning too haha 😄

[@scobby47231]

how long battery last? if this is combined with pedal paddle it will be perfect what if battery run out u can pedal paddle.

[@AliexFolgueira]

pedals is a waste of space in this boat, that nk300 with a 60ah 36v battery runs for like 40 miles plus at 3-4 mph, who goes 40 miles on a kayak fishing trip? worry about motor going bad? just slap a bow motor, or just paddle it, it can be paddle

[@rubenakacoolerlid2314]

Question: Does this boat that thinks it a kayak come with a rudder from factory?

[@mmancino1982]

Nope. Chad responded to my comment on another vid. It's an extra purchase

[@AliexFolgueira]

yeah no rudder just the regular footrest

[@larsvegas1505]

@@AliexFolgueira It comes with 0 degree steering.. u get footrest to ease urself while u prepare to hit the bank.

[@lazerithlazerith4012]

I think they look cool. But honestly I have a boat to fish out of. But if you do not have a boat and you want to get a kayak/boat to fill that hole then this is the ticket. I will say this if they are gonna make kayaks this big then make the back end where it can hold a 6 hp motor and a gas can so you can move like a boat.

[@AliexFolgueira]

thats the only issue, you make kayaks boat like but can't take anything bigger than a 2.5 while an inflatable that weights a 3rd, cant flip at all, can take a 6hp even a 9.9

[@lazerithlazerith4012]

@@AliexFolgueira they will listen to you more then someone like me say something.

New dream unlocked...!!! 😢🙌

[@AliexFolgueira]

yup it is indeed a dream kayak for many, i was super excited about the pwr 129 and it not being able to handle two motors like i wanted took something away, i hope this one delivers

[@larsvegas1505]

how heavy is one of these kayaks.. at some point a 1236 jon is going to be lighter.. and u can carry 3 times the stuff.. also cost less then half... just saying.

[@adventureswithken1983]

Facts 💯

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

It’s weighs 155-170 pounds roughly I think

[@moblack5883]

How much does a new 1236 jon boat costs nowadays?

[@adventureswithken1983]

@moblack5883 $1395 listed on the website, cheaper than alot of kayaks

[@larsvegas1505]

@@adventureswithken1983 U can get one for under 1000 bucks.. keep it for 10 years and sell it for more.. so id say they are basically free to own.. if u have the space.

[@BottomLineBassin2]

You said it Aliex! The electronics are way over the top on all fishing boats at the moment! It's supposed to be you and the fish, not video game fishing !

[@larsvegas1505]

Its a blast to fish with livescope though.. ive caught more big fish this last year then ever before... and to catch them in open water.. its a different way of fishing for sure.. Its expensive yes.. but also fun to be one of the first to livescope a water..

[@HuntStewTV]

How do you lift and lower the trolling motor with that set up? I didn’t see any obvious options.

[@AliexFolgueira]

just some diy, i did it on this video, you would do the same for this kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2bGl62Ahb1qkKcsi=XujCbsKcUJVlUc50

[@greg92043]

This thing looks super specific to bass fishing, or other calm water applications. There’s no way you’re taking this into choppy open water conditions with the seat that high up. The kayak may not flip, but you’ll be holding on for dear life so you don’t fall overboard.

[@greg92043]

Gunnels should be way higher and the seat shouldn’t be sitting on the top of the gunnels. Also lots of wasted space with those rod tubes on both sides. You could’ve had another 6-8 inches of inside deck space

[@rhodesianhunter9360]

@@greg92043 definitely for bass or catfishing. But the seat shouldn’t be as tippy as you’d think. I have a frontier 12 and I raised the seat another 3 inches and it’s still super stable. It’ll handle 1 foot waves. Past that I’m not going.

[@birdbig1]

No, that's how a lot of kayaks are. I have oldtown sportsman 106 and its a saltwater kayak with the same seating. The xtr is way more sturdy than it.

There needs to be a mass renaming of fishing kayaks to something else. Start a poll and let's come up with a new vessel category!

Let's just call them fishing kayaks, and other more kayak likes, just kayaks

[@t3angling575]

Wow, what a boat, oops meant kayak LOL. Price is crazy compared to a used Jon Boat which has more room and capacity, flat bottom will fish in inches of water. Not for me. Not complaining, just don't see the point to put on all this on such a small craft. Nice though.

[@MrBumbles2]

200 lbs ahh a jon boat is lighter but honestly at some point buy a boat , its getting to scam time. lol my kayak taxes are due , cost more than my truck because of the new luxury tax. ,, cost more than my stratos to get legal , open arena for a new tax scam, it cn take a motor instaant 6999 value because its a boat and they acan make up any value they want.
