I’m looking at getting the new 10 foot in September for my birthday present to myself. Then I’ll spend another year upgrading it 😂 hopefully the wider bump boards will be out by then too.
@@Just_A_Name14 nice! I’m looking to add the xtr130 to the kayacht fleet. I know people are battling over whether it’s a kayak or a bass boat but if they just accept that it’s a kayacht they can all sleep soundly at night haha
@@KayachtLife everyone has their own opinions and tastes. I prefer no electronics and no motors. Mainly for cost ,but I’ve been a bank fisherman my whole life so I rely more on knowledge and skill than electronics and technology. The 10 foot seems to cover all my needs. Peddle drive,rotating seat,front facing rod holder molded in,rail mounts for when I upgrade,room behind me for my tackle bag. Built in double rod holders up front for my two piece poles. Also being 10 foot and lighter I think I can haul it on top of my at4 suv with ease. I could mount my phone onto the peddle drive for easy access for pictures and I can attach bungie cords to a lot of my stuff from there too or the seat posts. I just think it’ll be a little bit wobbly for my likings but I can deal with that being I’m a little smaller than a lot of people I see on them. I like the xtr130 also but that’ll be the route I go if I was to get a motor.
@@Just_A_Name14totally agree, options are a good thing, not sure why people hate on them. I have a fishfinder and use it mainly for gps and depth, I fish in 1-4 foot of water 90% of the time, I am mostly concerned with the depth so I know what lure and weight to use. Fishing saltwater and tidal areas it is nice having the motor in case storms roll up or the tide is to strong to pedal/paddle. These large yaks are super hard to paddle/pedal.
@@KayachtLife I can only imagine. I use topographical maps I just print them out and then laminate them and put them in a binder not always accurate but most the time I’m generally okay minus whatever’s on the bottom I don’t know about. Trees,grass etc.
Great walk through! I have a very similar set up on my Titan X 12.5. Hope to see ya out there someday. (..yeppers, I'm in the Tampa Bay Area also..haha)
Thank you! I appreciate it, the weather was so hot that morning, I got up early thinking I would beat the heat but by the end it was me who was beat haha
@@DonMock1 I got them at Bill Jackson’s and they are just generic. They had them in different sizes and I just grabbed the two largest sizes and tried it out on one of the demos. I will measure them and let you know of their sizes. Thanks for subscribing!
@@Thegreatkayak I haven’t been on the 10.5. But from what I understand from seeing it you lose some from the front of the bow and a bit from that back. I think it depends on your need, size, where you fish, type of water conditions etc. I hear a lot of great reviews on it. Check out Greg Blanchards channel, he bass fishes a 10.5. Make sure you tell em KayachtLife sent ya, he won’t know who it is but do it anyways hahah
@@Thegreatkayak he used to have a 10.5 check some of his videos from when it came out. He does a few walkthrough and video reviews. I think he got the 12.5 when visiting home in NY a couple months ago. That’s cool, he probably went what is a KayachtLife and why is he sending you to me hahah
Excellent walk through Dennis! Excellent video all around.

I enjoyed your rigging set-up and walkthrough. Which scupper plugs do you buy for your Rod Holders to Prevent Water in Hull?
