I’m from Dothan, I actually sold it and went back to my shearwater 125 since with my work schedule I never got to go so I didn’t need so much money tied up in something I am not able to use much.

@@DaddyOFishing I understand that. I'm trying to talk myself out of a new bay boat for the same reason lol.

For sure, I know that struggle all too well. The shearwater just was affordable and had the rigability as well, just not as tanky as the native was. That native rigged up with everything is quite heavy and a lot to fool with. It’s an amazing kayak though.

Thanks for the tip, mine was actually defective and the brackets were bowed and binding the tray. They made it right and sent me a complete base and didn’t have anymore issues

I bought mine from fishing online and had it shipped to me. My vibe shearwater I had before I picked up from a place in Tallahassee but they closed. First one I bought from dicks sporting goods and had it shipped to the store for free and picked it up there. Feel free to reach out if I can help in any other way

@@DaddyOFishing what made you choose to get the 12.5 instead of the 10.5. I am mainly wanting one that is very stable for standing and has a pedal drive/trolling motor ready. I think the 10.5 would be big enough for me but also not sure if I should just go with a cheaper one since I’m not sure how much I’ll use it. I have a pelican catch 100 now and it is not stable enough to stand in so I rarely use it.

Fairhope boat co inc. has this native TitanX

Thanks, appreciate it! Yeah you definitely need a bigger one for sure. I am only 5’7 and felt cramped in my other ones honestly but this new titan x is a thing of beauty

It would but it felt like it was touching the lid up top when I tried it in the tray so I figured better safer than sorry so I just removed the tray to have more room.

They are 3 inch and on 8 inch centers I believe

Around 4.5-4.7 is what I have been seeing

I do, I have a 60 amp breaker on the trolling motor battery and the 50ah battery has each item fused separately. Yeah I’m impressed with the power queen batteries for the money I can’t complain

Thanks, I appreciate that! I got it from yakgadget. yakgadget.com/collections/track-mounted-accessories/products/quickview-track-mirror

Yeah we went there a few weeks ago and the weather was terrible so I didn’t even get a bite but I’ve heard it’s a nice place nowadays so we will see when it warms up some.

Thanks, it was pretty awesome! Now onto the next pb!

Thanks, I really enjoyed it. I’ve since upgraded to the new native Titan X 12.5 but I still have my shearwater for a spare!

@DaddyOFishing I just bought a kaku zulu and man it's the most stable kayak I've been on so far...a little heavy but it's a flawless design.

Couldn’t agree more, it’s honestly the best fishing kayak in existence at the moment in my opinion!

I just picked me up a trailer what size of PVC pipe did you use

I used 3 inch pvc on 8 inch centers

I went out two days straight without charging it. First day was around 4 hours and the next day was around 5. I didn’t kill it but I don’t have a capacity monitor on it to know how much was left. I’ve been pleased with the power queen batteries a lot for the money.

Thank you.

Is your power queen a mini or standard size?​@@DaddyOFishing

It is the mini one, love the power queen products for the money. The size and weight of it is really pretty amazing for being 100ah

​@@DaddyOFishingI was looking at the measurements of the mini. Could you have installed it in the bucket?

Honestly not too much at all. My main gripe is the rudder. It just sticks out and isn’t protected in any way. So if you go to slide it off the trailer and the bottom hits then the rudder hits first. Just makes it harder to maneuver it around by myself. Other grip is the micro power pole mounts. I would have much rather been able to mount it in the center 4 holes instead of the side but there wasn’t enough clearance for the pole to go up and down in the center spot. For the most part I’m blown away by it and couldn’t ask for a better rig to use. Stability is on point and my xi3 runs it about 4.5ish loaded down with me and all my gear which is impressive.

Much appreciated, thank you!

Nice, thanks brother! Those autopilot old towns are pretty sick! Subscribed to you as well, many thanks

@@DaddyOFishing thank you.

I’ll have to look into that, would be really cool for sure! I do have a head mount to be close to that viewing angle I could try out too.

Heck yeah, I love my Titan X and can’t go wrong with Kistler products either!

I’ve heard good things about the bonafide pwr129. It’s kind of like a titan x but it doesn’t have a few of the features this one has but I hear it’s a pretty sweet rig. Bonafide and native are made by the same company so it should be similar but I can’t confirm. It is a good bit cheaper as well.

Thanks, it’s a sweet rig for sure! I just couldn’t get past the bad reviews on the hobies lately and didn’t want to gamble on something that wouldn’t be worth having. Glad to know it’s for sure better than the pa though. Thanks for the comment!

I’ll be doing one as soon as I can for sure! I did remove the track first and realized I couldn’t slide the rubber handles off and wound up having to cut them to get them out of the way.

@@DaddyOFishing thanks for the reply, looking forward to more content!

It’s not, they have like a little cut there I guess to help with draining into the hole. I say cut, it’s molded that way on both sides

Good to know, I’d prefer it to just fit the space properly but I see how that would be helpful too especially if you have one hand tied up taking pictures.

Thanks for stopping by Alex, glad to have you! Yeah it’s pretty fun. A lot of work goes into rigging this thing up. I’ll be doing a completed overview video at some point in the near future to show everything I’ve installed on it. She’s going to be a sweet ride for sure. Appreciate the love and for wishing me a happy birthday, it means a lot for you to take your time to do it.

Appreciate you Bonnie! Thanks for being here

Glad to do it brother, amazing work and I am extremely pleased with them. Looking forward to placing another order in the near future as well! Thanks again James

Edited it to include links to most things, anything specific you want a link to just give me a shout!

Native sells the mounting plate directly and the rest of the things I picked up from Amazon. You need the mounting plate from native and also the motor guide quick release kit.

@@DaddyOFishing thank you.

@@stevenragland7486 anytime, glad to help, anything else you have questions about don’t hesitate to ask.

Great information, I will definitely do that. Thank you! Definitely makes sense to me

Loosen the seat straps and bring the seat back all the way back. It lies FLAT, then...!

@@MSmith-jf5wo I’ve been just clipping it closed down and rotating it around where the seat is facing the stern and it’s been a lot better to haul

Thanks brother, my grandad always told me when I was learning to use the pallet jack when I was little “you ever seen a horse push a wagon” and it’s stuck with me!

I think that also was Volkswagens front wheel drive car moto,"Its better to pull a car than to push it". @@DaddyOFishing

@@kenestra123can’t argue with you there, my grandad used to always ask me if I ever saw a horse push a wagon so it definitely makes sense!

It is, the grey goose I believe it’s called. Thanks I appreciate that! It’s an amazing machine for sure, you’ll love it when you grab one

It lines up except for those two holes I mentioned and I’m guessing that the plate is drilled to fit the Titan x 12.5 as well as the 10.5 so I’d bet those are for the 10.5.

That would be wild for sure lol, I’d feel like the bandit out there then

I saw those, looks like good stuff! I actually mounted led strips on the motorguide xi3 mount from native so I didn’t have to drill.

Didn’t think about that, just seemed like it would be unstable unless I centered it on there. I don’t fish tournaments but am wanting to get more into that side once I get better as I am still new and learning things.

I’ve never killed it before. I use a 12v 100ah power queen mini and a 50ah power queen for the electronics. Been really pleased with them for the money and my 100ah is only like 20 pounds I believe or around that

I can, next day I’m off I’ll grab one and post it up! Thanks, it works pretty well in my opinion

Thanks brother, getting the sockets and all mounted up today. Really liking how it’s shaping up but I’m pretty particular with things and want it to be even and look good so I take forever to get things placed and plotted out.

@@DaddyOFishing for sure take your time, make sure that boat makes you smile every time you take it out.

@@AlexOnTheWater this is the way!

I do have a 60amp marine breaker I’m going to install. I thought of attaching it to the outside of the plastic box up front but not sure yet. That seems to be the only place to put it without drilling a hole somewhere. I’ll definitely try to reply to you when I get it put on and let you know where I put it. I’m going to likely cut the cable because I can just take the base apart and replace it if I ever need it to be longer again. You could fold it and zip tie it up, I don’t see how that would be an issue. I just didn’t want to have to fight with it so I’m going to cut it down. Thanks for the questions and comment, really enjoy engaging with people on things.

@@DaddyOFishing thanks for taking the time to respond, will definitely keep watching your stuff on the titan x. The official native video has the breaker installed on the front box but a lot of people say it should be closer to the battery. Would certainly appreciate a follow up, thanks for the content!

@@mikelafontaine8464 anytime brother, I am working on getting the power sockets installed tonight for things. I want to put it somewhere else but I think on that box is the most logical option. Not sure why having it closer to the battery. It monitors current on the wire. Current doesn’t fluctuate on what part of the wire it’s on to my knowledge. It’s all about electron flow through the conductor and it should flow the same at the box as it would at the battery.

​@@mikelafontaine8464 breaker should be as close the the battery as possible.

Heck yeah, really appreciate you checking it out. The longer bolts just made more sense to me for sure. The bow hatch area on this one really is quite impressive. It’s pretty well sized and the hull access and all the rig ability in there is top notch.

The 100ah mini fits perfectly in the rear compartment but the front is designed for a 50ah or smaller it seems. I have a power queen 50ah in there now but it doesn’t sit completely in the bottom and touches the sides a small bit. I’m going to make something for it to sit on so it’s not touching the sidewall of that compartment. I made another video showing the xi3 motorguide install this afternoon but still have to edit it and all but it should be going up in the next day or two
