    Got my EX123 in palmetto blue last year and absolutely love it! I had heard rumors about the supposed splash guard and would definitely be interested if they decided to sell it as an accessory. Great video and thanks for some ideas on accessories that I might incorporate on to my bonafide!

    Perfect Timing! I'm hoping to pick up my EX123 tomorrow! I've messaged Bonafide twice in the past about the splash guard but haven't gotten a reply from them. I'm kind of surprised you don't use the flex wings on it. Thanks for another great video!

    • @WadeHarrison
      @WadeHarrison  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you look at what I pulled out the hatch 16:38 it was a set of flex wings.. But I can tell you those were designed for the SS and RS models the Ex rides low in the water and doesn't drift out like those models do but I was going to do a video on testing if they work I'm saying you don't need them in the EX..

    i bought one and love it, the big trunk is great, the dog fits in it! however the dash broad is flimsy, slow to remove and easily broken. the skid plates protrude past the contour of the rear end snagging the slightest sharp bump making it a major pain to drag by the front end across gravel/rocks and especially up steps!

    @blackout4338 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would like to purchase this yak, I'm just concerned in the event i flip it, i know the rear bulkhead will prevent it from sinking however...wouldn't the bow sink and just turn it into a buoy sitting vertically in the water? At that point if I'm far from shore I'm pretty much screwed?

    • @WadeHarrison
      @WadeHarrison  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can add air bags to the front if that a concern which would give it way my floatation and also carry a bilge pump with you I have purposely flipped this boat on the lake and renter and empty it on the water to see if it was possible I guess I should do a video of that at some point

  • @litrick5471

    Wonder how this would do in a bay. I kayak in a bay near me that has slow moving currents but is kind of choppy

    • @WadeHarrison
      @WadeHarrison  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      As long as the chop doesn’t get really high you be fine but this boat has no rocker in the ends so it gets lifted up a lot and will have water coming over but all round paddling it’s great

    Hey I’m so badly looking to get that spray skirt I need it. How can I get it. Bonafide has never gotten back to me.

    • @WadeHarrison
      @WadeHarrison  ปีที่แล้ว

      When I did this video, I was working at Bonafide I still help them with some contract projects time to time and this skirt was something I was really pushing for this kayak the one in this video was a prototype sample, but I think they have moved on to other projects and decided the volume of sales was just not there with this item so my advice is to try to figure out some other solutions. and yeah, Bonafide didn't like that I showed the prototype in this video 😂
