When I first saw it I had to have it. I went and got it and I freaking love it!

I want one so bad. Now just have to wait until I can afford one haha

That's exactly what I did. 👍

🤣

😂 so are we, but weve have posted like 10 other on the water vids already this year, this ain’t the first and won’t be the last

We would love to see both! We definitely will work on doing more budget kayak reviews!

I don't know if another direction is correct. I see the need in both. Of course, there are going to be over- the- top models, but isn't that price point that made a "lower budget" price point? Can't have a low, without a high.

I think there are already budget kayak companies doing that very thing. I'm all in on these new large expensive kayaks with a million possibilities. I'm not a fan of budget anything but to each their own.

Pelican targets cheap fast sale kayaks. You want quality you will pay for it. Native is 100% made in u.s.a not china.

@@YakSquad pelican make their kayaks in usa lol

What are you waiting for? Fishing is calling😊 I'm not personally a Pelican fan, but, if that's your jam. Then, hell yeah! I am as skinny as a bean pole, which works in certain occasions. But, all my buddies are 220-250lbs+ and 6ft+. The Pelican catch mode 110 was an option for them. We as a group not only incorporate fishing, but also camping. So "dry storage" is a must for us. Definitely check weight limits for kayaks, any brand that doesn't easily and readily convey their weight limit, I would be skeptical. Your adding a lot of weight and problems, just be sure you can handle them, no disrespect.

@@christophershoe9642 I already own a 10’ pond prowler that I use on the main lake in my town. It would only be for this certain ponds that only allow kayaks and belly floats. Weight is not a issue since I’m 190# and run a lithium battery, the kayak is rated for 4-500# and I don’t take very much gear to those ponds

I have it set up on mine and will show in our video

I learned that lesson quick 😂

Currently amazon wheels. Im waiting for native to restock the side kick wheels

Yeah I bent the hex wrench... is that tight enough lol

@@aaanglers lol, probably

We don’t have one because we aren’t sponsored. Id still check it out!

How? I have a 40 oz as well. Hmmmm

You have to over crank the heck out of them

100% agree on the rod holder on the old town

Couldn’t find one cheap enough used. Opted to go this route. It definitely gets wet. Im trying a hack for that this week!

Your weight keeps a wet deck?😂 I'm sry, I mean your scupper plugs aren't in?

I have a big water as well! Big fan!

I mean If you haven't been in one your assessment is kinda off. I pedal at close to 3.5 with ease. I weight 320 have an xi3, garmin and a black pack with 5 rods. The inside of my titan x never has water with scuppers in. Only time I get water is what I bring in from getting in or from a fish. Mine sits in the water just about the same as it was stock now that its fully loaded. Im sure it wouldnt be as good if the scuppers were out 😂. As for the seat its a fairly tight swivel doesnt move much like say a desk chair. When I pedal I dont even notice it. Your right about it being heavy though it's not fun to load and unload but the sidekick helps

@@JupiterBassin sorry, but my assessment is spot on. Most people do 2.5 - 3mph over longer distances. I don't think I could go a mile across the lake at 3 or faster, at least if I have to go back and fish another few hours after that. I mean I can get it well above 4, but that's tiring real fast. And again, you need scupper plugs because it's wet without them. Technically you weight and the boat's weight is around the maximum weight capacity per Native, probably because of the water that gets in. Also those who weigh much less than we do get soaked even with scupper plugs fishing offshore or in rough conditions. It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, living 3 hours from the ocean with no traffic, but disappointing - considering it's size, I would expect a higher weight capacity, although that might mean you only pedal it 1.5mph too, it does pretty well for its size. And for the seat, that doesn't really make or break the boat but literally every Titan X owner has said the ability to lock the seat going forward would be the first improvement they'd make after fixing the water issue. It's just a step closer to perfect. I'm not shitting on the Titan X by any means, but it has it's pros and cons for sure but does a lot of stuff right. Another con I didn't mention is due to the width, I likely couldn't fit 2 kayaks on my trailer.

@@shred5 I could care less if you trash the titan x it's your personal preference but Im just saying your assessment is wrong. My point is if you dont own one or been in one dont act like you know what your talking about. lol

@@JupiterBassin Again, my assessment is not wrong. I don't own one. I have demo'd almost every kayak on the market that roughly meets my weight capacity though. I also know a lot of people with them, and their experiences as well as my own are all different than yours which makes me question the honesty of your assessment, as well as claiming I haven't been in one, aka your bias is showing pretty strong right now.

Depends on preference. I use bike standards. Your legs should have a slight bend at the end of your pedal rotation

We think they are 2 different kayaks for 2 different anglers. Do you want to LOAD up or have a pond hopper? The Titan X is heavier and has more rigging options for sure. The 106 is great all around as is. But you can add simple things to it.

@@aaanglers thanks Guys, another question from your reply, which boat would you choose if you want to keep load light, not tons of gear but want stern mount motor to get from point A to B to cover distance quickly to each fishing spot. Having spot lock Not an absolute necessity and I would want superior stability

@ADKMuskyFoolonFly63 nucanoe unlimited

Never ordered one. Got an xi3 on it.

@@aaanglersthat’s the better choice imo. Spot lock with a 360 swivel seat is a game changer.

It’s debatable. I think they neck and neck

I would go with the NK 300 and their 36v battery. Keep on eye on their website as they have sales on them throughout the year. :)

Nk300 is the way to go for its size

Our Discount on Newport is AAA10

You will likely need a transom mount trolling motor if you get the right kayak. You can remove newport nk motors to load them too. NK 18 Pro is pretty sweet, and we have a code for 10% off: AAA10

There aren’t many that are that light, standable, paddleable, car top load and less than 12’. Bonafide SS127 or the RVR119 may be your best option.

Smart

We have in the past. Won’t buy them again

@@aaanglers are they trash 😂😂😂

I can't see why it would be terrible for salt, with how many people use the Hobie Pro Angler in salt. Also Native and Bonafide are under the same company so there will be similarities. But we've used both and this has STARK differences once you get in it and use it.

@@aaanglers well that makes sense then. And it would be terrible for salt for the same reason the Bonafide is terrible for salt. It would be fine on the rare days when the water is completely flat, but the hulls are made to be stable on the water rather than cut through the waves, so they go all over the place. There are videos of people trying to launch a bonafide from the beach and it flips vertically! I thought about buying one until I saw that... It seems really great for some applications, just not others.

That makes sense. We are no where near the ocean, so we never really consider it. I see a lot of guys in Hobie Outbacks on the salt water which is around the same price point.

@@aaanglers the Hobies are great for cutting through the waves, and the Old Towns are also really great for it, especially the salty. Bonafide, from what I've seen, makes an extremely stable kayak, it just comes at a cost to versatility. Similar to Bay Boats/Bass Boats vs Offshore Boats.

More expensive? Yes. ~Half as much? Nah. Not for a comparable kayak. Titan X 12.5 $3,599 Hobie PA 12 $4,599

@RealCamSmith $1000 isn’t nothing though! And it’s instant reverse as opposed to 180 drive. I think Justin was thinking 360 drive at $5699, but they aren’t directly comparable

@@aaanglers Agreed! More is more regardless lol. But a 360 is in a different stratosphere lol, in terms of price point.

no idea what determines which seat you get

Definitely not the budget option… we are looking into budget builds too

Your not wrong

It’s a few dollars less than that

😂

It has it's place, like on a lake

Yeah, but thats what I want it for. Most kayaks are good on lake OR river, not usually both. That we have yet to see

Too true
