Malibu Kayaks new X-13
 

We had a pair of prototypes delivered to Fred Hall yesterday. One is sitting in front of the KFACA, a $5 raffle ticket will win you one. We have the other in the OEX booth. Our show special on the X 13 is $849 with a free seat and paddle.

13' 10" long and 29" wide weighs 58 pounds, the newly designed low profile gator hatch is standard.

Brent and I got up before the sun to shoot something with channel 7 news.

I was the first to paddle it........in the pool, it's a dry ride and paddles with ease, can not wait to really get it wet.

I will have one of these to test paddle at Sunset Beach next week. You will be seeing me on this kayak alot.......hopefully holding big fish.

i want one.

Looks sharp! Do they come in camo?:D

Looks like a prowler with more flat areas for mounting stuff. Can I enter the raffle from here?

Yep. I like the looks of it. I'll have to try it out sometime.

Andy,
I think you just introduced me to my new toy. Been thinking of what to get next. What is the weight capacity on that yak? Thanks brosky

That looks really nice...& fast. I want one too.

Brent, on the other hand, looks like he drank too much last night. :cheers1: :D

Me likey...

:paddleersmilie:

Holy crap, I didn't even recognize Brent. Must have been a long night on the pole.lol

I was there at the Fred Hall show on weds and i didnt see it there. I guess I was too early. I think that will be my next kayak. Looks fast and not too long.

Hell yes it's sexy!

Unless I win that X13 in the FH raffle...I'll order mine in hot pink or hot pink camo:)

Can't wait!!!

Looks like Brent is getting Malibu, Ocean Kayak, and Hobie to work together. Brent, What's the new company going to be called?
Ocean Hobibu? Nice Looking boat, but I agree with Tyler, looks a lot like a prowler:D . I bet you it surfs better than the Xtreme:p . It will be nice to get you Team Malibu guys on that kayak so that you can keep up with us Ocean Kayak and Wilderness guys:luxhello: .

Please, No one take this post serious, just having some fun with friends:cheers1:

Come on Matt, you know we can't let that go.:D

Kind of like the big game looks like an X-factor, no?

As soon as I meet a prowler paddler with over 200 consecutive surf landings and NO crashes I'll take that comment seriously.

That's okay, I usually make up the 5 second difference as my OK and Wilderness buddies are busy packing everything up for landing.:cheers1:

Oh,oh, Matty what did you start? j/k'

Boat looks cool. I'm in line to test paddle. Andy I'll be at your shop soon

I saw it at the show. It looks fast, and the weight is right at 58 pounds. Two thumbs up on the weight. I like it.

That hatch inside a hatch upfront may limit the market for it as it limits the number of rods a yakker can stow. Most fishing kayaks are making room for better rod storage. I think Malibu is moving backwards on that aspect.

Another idea would be a a place to mount standard transom mount transducers with original hardware. That would be nice.

Cant wait to try it.

/bing

dude that thing is sweet:D

Maybe a step forward is more like it.

Maybe a step forward, with the more experienced angler in mind. I'm a little baffled by anglers who never learn to "surf" their kayak and choose to prepare for the worst instead. I personally don't stow or leash any of my rods and have never flipped while landing in ten years now. I've been considering a couple of "faster" kayaks for the sole purpose of chasing "bird schools" and what lies below (W,S, Tarpon 16 and O,K, Trident, and Hobie come to mind) Anyone with experience in this style of kayak-fishing will confirm the importance of capitalizing on the "one shot" you get. This kayak looks like another strong link in the chain from the company that has a lock on the kayak fishing industry. What to do with so many great options?
:rolleyes:

That's not a hatch inside a hatch. It's probably the largest hatch on the market. A big plus IMO. I always stow rods and spearguns, because it's NOT a pain in the ass and it keeps people from asking if I caught anything. Throw it all in the truck and I'm gone.

you mean like this..........I sold 2 today, they are supposed to be ready for delivery in about 2 weeks.
