Native Watercraft Titan X Fishing Kayak | Full Walkthrough with Greg Blanchard
Рет қаралды 103,240
Жыл бұрынEach year at ICAST I do the best I can to cover kayak fishing and kayak fishing accessories and then pick my own personal BEST OF SHOW. Sometimes it’s the same as the ICAST Official Selection and sometimes it’s not. This year I chose differently because of the broader appeal of the Native Watercraft Titan X and all that it has to offer. Hope y’all like the video and please share your thoughts in the comment section.

Based on what I have seen to date, it seems like the X is going to be a great kayak. It is the kayak i plan on purchasing when they are more available. Native feel free to release the weight. The kayaks are now for sale. What's the hold up...? As usual, these kayak companies seem to be scared to death of giving out the true weight of their units. Bot sure why. We care in a time where consumers understand that a large fishing kayak is going to have some heft. Also the price for this boat is in line with the built-in features it comes with. If the performance matches up with everything else, Native has a home run.

Native Watercraft has most definitely knocked this one out of the park. I have used a couple of different brands over the years and this kayak is unbelievable. To have a kayak that has been designed and rated to have bow and stern mounted motors at the same time, low center of gravity storage compartments for batteries and sacrificial plates to run your wiring through is unheard of until now. The options are almost unlimited. The Native Titan X 12.5 is on my list of next tournament kayaks for me.

And I would love to see Greg with spot lock, a power pole, and his live scope. As for the Titan X. They really just designed an awesome, and amazing fishing vessel. She's just beautiful. All They've done for us, with all the options that are set up for you, the swivel seat, storage, the deck, how it's ready to easily make a fishing machine. I could just go on and on! $3600.00 I think is extremely a perfect price point for this boat. I love my 12ft fin drive, with all my accessories, NK, and next season I'll add my Xi3. Great review, from you guys. And Greg, is extremely creative with his Titan he just not long ago had the wizard design for him. 🙏 🌊 🎣 🛶

Those plates, battery placements, wiring design, seat and balance is game changing. Not having to drill instantly ups the value of this kayak as you can re-sell it easy for a new model 5-10 years later. Seen nice kayaks that people had to get rid of, but they've drilled into it for some kind of mod and instantly loose interest even at a decent price.

@ChadHooverFishing 10 ай бұрын
Most people rotate them down and into position while still on the vehicle or trailer. But you can raise the kayak and deploy them on the ground. Once in the water the kayak floats up and you stow them, coming back to the ramp you just do the opposite.

Why does this not have Hobie's fin style pedal drive? The patent expired, Pelican is now using it for example.
@ChadHooverFishing Жыл бұрын
Well, there are several reasons. 1. Native developed this well before the patent expired and they were the first with reverse. 2. This pedal drive is vastly superior in the reliability department. 3. Many people love the instant reverse without have to pull a cord or anything like that. 4. Some companies have integrity that extends beyond whether it’s “legal” to do something 5. Hobie has patent extensions on the reverse and other improvements so it would be like going back to not having reverse at all after you are the company that touted “First with Reverse” for over a decade. 6. Because they have improved this drive to the point where it works flawlessly with their hulls and systems and it’s very durable and maintenance free for the most part 7. Because companies like Pelican, Lightning and a bunch of other Alibaba boats are already doing it like you said.

The price of the kayak is $3,600.00. With all the accessories they have on this I think the total price would be close to $10,000. You can get a decent used bass boat for that price.
@ChadHooverFishing 11 ай бұрын
But then you still have a bass boat. We fish out of these kayaks for what they offer in access and control and even if a “bass boat” was cheaper it’s not the point. And you are pricing out all the stuff new and then comparing it to something you can buy used which isn’t an apples to apples comparison. If you bought this boat new, then shopped for the motor and other parts used you wouldn’t be anywhere near $10,000. Also, this boat was setup over the top to show off for ICAST, most people aren’t putting a bow mount and stern mount and two Power Poles

Chad, can you let us know what they used for the center console on that new native? I Just talked with yakattack, and they said native piece it together. I see they use the locknload bace and 2 of the 90-degree angles, but what did they use to go across? If you answer that, that be awesome and did you say the tub is already there for the feet steering? Been rewatching the viedo to see if any one said it but has not heard hope u can help me out has everything else already ordered for the new native thanks in advance if you have answer

The tube is already there for the foot steering and so are the foot braces. As for the CrossBar they just pieces that together and it’s not an actual product. However, I’m working with a company that will officially launch soon called OPS (Outdoor Product Solutions) that will offer a number of solutions similar to this

Hull speed is 1.4 x the square root of the waterline. 1.4 x 3.4=4.8 mph. To get a boat go faster then hull speed it would have to plane.
@ChadHooverFishing 6 ай бұрын
That’s true in a planing hull situation and with a fixed “load”. You can’t make a general statement like that about a displacement hull and you can’t get a defined waterline number from a boat with an adjustable seat and payload
@nyjeff100 6 ай бұрын
@@ChadHooverFishing The math equations 1.4 can vary between 1 and 1.4 based on the shape of the displacement hull. My point is a 10 ft kayak will be slower than a 12 ft kayak. All 12 ft kayak will have the same hull speed.

Does have spot lock

Spot lock is a feature of the motor, not the kayak

Isn’t that a Nucanoe seat?
@ChadHooverFishing Жыл бұрын
Only if the NuCanoe seat is the seat from every bass boat and pond boat that used it before. But I know what you mean. Native had a spin around seat a long time ago on one of their Paddleboard kayak hybrids, Diablo had one, Jackson has it on the BlueSky, etc. It’s just hard when people say this stuff when it’s all been done before in other places. It’s the evolution of the sport
