I really want to try one of these out. I currently have a crescent lite tackle and I love it. I do a lot of inshore fishing with it. Originally I was looking at one of these but the lite tackle won me over for the price point and how well it paddles. I can be going at a steady pace with all of my fishing gear at about 3-3.5mph depending on the wind. I can keep up with my girlfriend in her old town sportsman PDL. This kayak seems like it would be an upgrade in terms of features but I'm worried about how much more work I'll have to put in for paddling. Hopefully I'll get to try one out at some point. Great videos like always. I know this one is old. Your info helped me pick the Lite Tackle as my first kayak. Keep it up.

I love "95%" of everything about the Bonafide SS127........But I have to be honest.......those "perch pads" are more of a gimmick than anything else. I have a great sense of balance, and I've already seen others demonstrate using those perch pads. It's just not a practical maneuver at all. Now imagine you've got the fish of a lifetime hooked up, and you're on those perch pads. ESPECIALLY bigger game like tarpon. Seriously, what are ya going to do on those perch pads. Ya can't "easily" dismount, and the seat is right there to fumble over. Most unusable, impractical "elevated fishing platform" I've ever seen. Other than that, the boat is killer, with lots of great features. If a guy needs to be elevated that bad, he'd be much better off just packing along a 2 x10 board just long enough to straddle the gunnels in FRONT of the seat, and glue rubber padding to the bottom of the board so it doesn't slide on the gunnels. Then just stow the board anywhere out of the way when not in use. You could do that with several of the more stable yaks.
