Curious, what trolling motor would you go with on that boat since that MotorGuide is a fresh-water only model and I don't think they make a salt-water version?
Do you know how much it costs as is , what i mean the 128 that is shown in this video with everything on it, how much more is it with everything on it besides the $2199.00 ?
I'd say it's more like $8k plus at least. Two large chart plotters/ fish finders, the trolling motor, 3 Lithium batteries, the tackle crate on the back plus all the lighting etc. Big dollars. I just checked the batteries on the company website, the two rb100 batteries are $895.00 each and the smaller battery @i believe it said $279 alone. The chart plotter is harder to say accurately because they didn't show a specific model, but those bigger ones run somewhere around $2500 to 4k plus each. On the outdoor world web site. So yeah I'd say even at $8k I would be a good bit of a low guess.
I love it!!! I do kind of wish that the standing area molded in area was scuppered. I could see that being a great built in livewell/baitwell! I would also like to see how well a side scan transducer fits and works.
Wow, so demanding! Why not just look at the cost of the boat and then do a little research on the cost of things you want to add on to it? It's going to be dramatically different from person to person depending on how you want to set it up.
Great review Marty. I like the idea of the Catamaran hull for stability. It would be interested to know the cost, all kitted out as at the show. Stay safe & well. 👍👍
2199 for the base kayak...Dunno about kitted like the show, but around 4k will put the motor on it and a good lifepo battery in the tank...Im sure of that because I have the motor and battery in my cart at Eco Fishing and im just waiting for the Kayak to go on sale to pull the trigger.
I don't get it. Just by a jon boat. Buy a used one with a trailer and motor and take another person. Tow it with a car. That must be $3000 with the trolling motor. It would be over 100 lbs, so it is not easy to load unload
The point of a fishing kayak is to get into streams and other areas where even a jon boat wouldn't get in, also when one doesn't have to luxury of towing and storing a jon boat, a kayak is a much better option.
@pandafox94 lol a jon boat can go into 2 ft of water. If it's less step out. Can't go into creeks and stream lmfao. So my 1236 I tow with my corolla can't do that lol. If you're buying $3000 kayak and carrying it into your apartment and sticking it on the little back porch more power to you.
Wilderness Systems is owned by Pelican. Pelican purchased Confluence Outdoors which owns Wilderness Systems, Perception, Dagger kayaks and Advanced Elements.
Titan x is way way way better. Native watercraft set the standards with the titan. Minni skiff is the key. Peddle drive , motor , paddle. The titan x does it all. You can go on yak squad and see how I and native were miles ahead of the rest.
I hope Jackson Kayak is paying attention! Yep it's heavy, get a trailer! This is just the beginning of the innovations that will be coming out in the fishing kayak world. "18 feet of rail space" I love how they skew their statistics to try to impress customers. I wish they wouldn't do that.
I got to watch you film this! What a fun time!! And I see I had a lot of photobombs! 😂
I know this is about kayaks, but I love those impressive clouds in your shots!
First video I’ve seen since copying your pvc pipe seat stand for my pelican years ago . Glad you are still going strong ! (So is my seat lol)
Can it run a small 2.3hp or 2.5hp gas outboard on the back and how would you setup the trailer bunks??
The whole idea of kayak fishing was to be minimalist, lightweight, easy and cheap !!
Wilderness Systems really made a great boat! Awesome vid Marty!
Curious, what trolling motor would you go with on that boat since that MotorGuide is a fresh-water only model and I don't think they make a salt-water version?
Nice yak,but I'll stay with my bonafide....time to fish ....yeah 😎
Super cool... Another boat I can't afford😅
What kind of MPH are you getting with the different types of motors?
How does it paddle?
Wonder what the speed is with the Xi3 compared to the Bonafide PWR129 ?
Looks nice.... def interested.
Pretty freakin cool but it's basically a Johnny boat
Wow, what a kayak. Great set up.
Triple rear outboards plus bow motor, lets go
Do you know how much it costs as is , what i mean the 128 that is shown in this video with everything on it, how much more is it with everything on it besides the $2199.00 ?
Wait, what?
The way they had it set up you could probably spend 6k easy on it if not more.
I'd say it's more like $8k plus at least. Two large chart plotters/ fish finders, the trolling motor, 3 Lithium batteries, the tackle crate on the back plus all the lighting etc. Big dollars.

Put a big cooler in the back to make a poling platform?
I love it!!!
I do kind of wish that the standing area molded in area was scuppered.

I would also like to see how well a side scan transducer fits and works.
Do you make motor mounts for sale? I’d like to get one made
That is a good lookin, well thought out yak!!
Best review! Super detailed, fun, and really interesting! Love your style!
Marty Do you work for pelican or do you have a contract sponsorship by pelican?
Man that is him is awesome. Bet you could put jet motors on that too!!!😂
Beast
1:33 it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it 😂😂😂
Thank you for the video when can we get one :) Are they available now?
Looks really heavy. Why is it "Tactical"? Is there a para-military /mercenary version?
Winner winner chicken dinner 😋
At what point do you just get a boat?? Once your kayak weighs as much as a small boat and you need to trailer it you might as well flat bottom boat ?
So how much is the boat completely set up as we’re looking at it right now the batteries, the motors everything I’d like to know
I would say not much change from $10k
Wow, so demanding! Why not just look at the cost of the boat and then do a little research on the cost of things you want to add on to it? It's going to be dramatically different from person to person depending on how you want to set it up.
Pushing $10k… insane
This is pushing $15k with all the accessories and lithium. It's got $6k in screens, transducers, batteries, dual power poles, dual trolling motors....
In before Marty figures out how to put a pool/ jacuzzi in this thing!
So Bonafide wasn’t there at icast 2024? The new Pwr130 would have stolen the show!
there were and they have a new one also that is impressive.
Great review Marty. I like the idea of the Catamaran hull for stability. It would be interested to know the cost, all kitted out as at the show.
Stay safe & well. 👍👍

March 2025 lol might as well launch it next Icast
I was hoping they would launch it this fall so people can get it decked out for the 2025 fishing season.
How much is this? Sorry if it was said in the vid i might have missed it. Thanks
a true dream ,thing is sweet

If only they would have included a peddle drive…
Definitely not a marsh yak
I agree, I'm in south louisiana and using this in the marsh would be a pain.

Closer to $6000

@@pandafox94you don’t understand
@@bp30656Rather than just saying "you don't understand" maybe try and give an explanation why.

@@noway57 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
heck yeah, icast baybeeee
What kind of top speed were you getting?
Thinking of changing Sponsor, Marty? 😮
Wilderness Systems is owned by Pelican. Pelican purchased Confluence Outdoors which owns Wilderness Systems, Perception, Dagger kayaks and Advanced Elements.
Might as well have an engine, just the Pedal/Prop is about 1,600 alone.
Looks like I may have to replace Recon, and I love my Recon.

Ciao! È possibile averlo in Italia?
Is there a paddle park?

I can see Marty add a jet engine to this thing😂
