Yeah this came out a few years back been in the works for years at Bonafide good to see it come out

Glad could help what is your opinion so far of it?

Agreed ! 2 of the 3 boats I’ve got were from watching his reviews. Unbiased reviews are hard to come by this day and age 🤙🏼

thanks DOP I know they get a little long at times I try to keep them around 5 to 8 mins but dam I get going and just keep on rambling I figure most click off at 3-5 thanks for watching

Yeah Thanks Hunter glad could help out buddy

@@WadeHarrison in all honesty bro, I’m the past year I have become beyond obsessed with kayaking, especially WW, so I enjoy the information overload that you and others provide, besides, it helps your watch time to have longer videos when it comes to KZfaqs monetization, which, if you’re putting in the time to give people such a great service in detail, you rightfully deserve the watch time and views. Always looking forward to more brother 👍👍👍

Yeah the drive just works so good and really between those can’t really go wrong either way both have a lot good features the turning on the native are better but the bonafide feels way faster over distance

Thanks I wanted to show as much as i could on this

They are shipping them now I was in the factory last week and there were a lot going on trucks

That’s awesome I really enjoyed the time I spent in this one

The ss107 such a great kayak in a good size it would be worth keeping it even after get this for smaller ponds and lake

@@WadeHarrison plan on keeping it for sure. Buddy yak. Small water.

Yeh this one is not cheap I totally get those thanks for watching

Thanks dragon

Yeah they are shipping them now I seen them going in trucks last week when I was in the factory

Awesome

Interesting idea to leave the drive latch open does it not jump around on you.

@@WadeHarrison I've had no problems doing it , I sometimes run into rocks I can't see in the river..lol

@@nashguy2814 thanks for the feedback

If you have the Xi3 on the bow of the ss127 that’s a perfect mix of paddling meets motor I see no reason to get a p127 personally unless you just really want that pedal drive feature

Well with the p127 i wouldnt have to worry about registering it each yr saving me lil bit of $, and seeing the p127 is human powered i wouldn't have to worry about charging a 100ah battery all the time, lets just say if i waited 6 more months they p127 would've been out and i would've got that instead

Your wanting the distance between the gear tracks

@@WadeHarrison yes please cause I would like to put a track between the front and back track. I am a short person and I like to set up my things close to me, but in all the adds they don't tell ya how far apart they are. If you can do that for me I'd highly appreciate it thanks Cindy

@@cindyschnell I just checked it and it’s 32” from rail to rail there’s a rail right behind the seat that’s the rail I went to

@@WadeHarrison thanks

@@cindyschnell your welcome glad I could help

All real good feedback that’s why I do these videos not everyone’s experience is going to be the same. I suggest you reach out to the dealer you got it from Bonafide has been really good at taking care of issues like that if dealer can’t help

yeah, I seen that Moken but never been in one they look good.

@@WadeHarrison they are good yaks. I’ve used mine in marshes, coastal waters, rivers and lakes.

P127 more options

They should be in stores now

My goal is to buy one of these I think it’s worth the money. My goal is to have a p127 and maybe a ss127 for a partner to go with me

It seems to just level out around 5mph the paddle will not be as fast as the pedal

Yeah I ride mountain bike on my off days from kayaking so it’s not bad for me

@@WadeHarrison lol.. wait til you get get my ages 61 😆

@@timjones6637 just hope I’m still going buddy at 61

@@WadeHarrison I’m thinking out a motor on it But, still waiting on Forest camo color.. been two year waiting. 🤦🏼‍♂️

That’s awesome have you had it out yet what’s your thoughts 💭

I haven’t gotten it out yet on the water. I bought it on my last day off before work. Had to work then it’s been crappy weather since. Compared to what I had which was the lifetime Teton. Think I’m gonna love it once I get it out.

Awesome let me know what you think

Yeah I noticed that and pointed it out in the review the turning could be better I seen battle ships turn tighter then this kayak

$2999.99

So true Jeff you will snap that spring rudder and probably lock your drive up In the mud or weeds..both have their pros and cons the hobie drives are a work of art the way they work, and I was just messing around when I say stuff like that I love the hobie brand and their designs i have been trying to line some up to do reviews on in the spring I have used several of them over the years Al all have been really good thanks for watching buddy..

@@WadeHarrison No offense. I own a SS127 lol.

@@jeffreyau1286 I know buddy 😉

I agree with that this design is not the offshore type

Why isn’t it built for salt or inshore ?

@@rolylugo9106 I was more on the design of the boat for going out on swells and waves it’s fine on inlets and salt water

@@rolylugo9106 as stated, the design. The materials will do fine in saltwater, its plastic. I owned a similar boat with the same drive, a slayer propel max 12.5. The drive was an issue in shallow marshes inshore. Also, Im not laying my rods down to store them when inshore or nearshore. The overall layout and design seems to be made for the bass fishing world.

@@ETuss713 , I'm also wandering abit more on this topic. What makes a good bass kayak vs what makes a good sea kayak? Complete noob here just trying to navigate this. Thanks in advance.

That is very true that drive would not like rocks or trees! I would suggest All pedal drives to NOT to go over rocks or trees, But I know it happens and your right pros and cons on everything, but a quick reverse is something need all the time and is a very useful thing to have

@@WadeHarrison right now I have a hobie outback and I love everything but how low the seat sits. I dont fish a lot of shallow water myself so I’ve been keeping an eye one the p127 reviews as I’ve had a ss127 before. One thing that always turned me away from the natives was how much water was always sitting In The deck. How did the p127 do in that regard being it’s kind of a hybrid of a bonafide and a native.

@@WadeHarrison heard Jackson pedal will prompt up if hit any subject…

Hobie's turning radius is a lot tighter... Not gonna lie the turning radius on this p127 looks pretty bad. So, tighter turning radius means less time using reverse. I think the standard ss127 is the better buy.

@@griggey84 I definitely agree with you the turning on the p127 could be better I mentioned that in the review the hobbies turn on a dime

Hahh well that money emoji 🤑 I can tell you 100% never been paid to do a review unlike some pro anglers out there that get free kayaks and some pocket change ask me how I know? I did have a disclaimer in the video i was a X employee of Bonafide for 2 years and still do some contract work with them time to time but has nothing to do with the review they actually want my feedback good or bad I definitely appreciate your feedback I have altered how I do reviews because a lot times I breeze over the cons or mixed in there or it’s closer to the end of the video and not alot people hear them so I make a point in my reviews now to tell when the cons are… I did have cons so here you go I thought the bow rides little low and thought the front scuppers took on water to easy it’s like a must to have plugs in them or your walking in water Thought the turning could have been better compared to others in this space Also the seat was not on par with the SS127 but worked fine but felt was a step back for what Bonafide was built on The rudder sometimes did not want to deploy all the way down like the spring tension wasn’t strong enough I tried to mention all this in the review but a lot of my reviews are seriously on the fly and I have worked on getting better all this con feedback I gave to the design team at Bonafide I did touch on it in the video but your right Seth I need to do better with that thanks again for the feedback I welcome it positive or negative let’s me know how I can improve my content

@@WadeHarrison I appreciate this comment.

😂 want to race
