X-13?
 

Any feedback from the guys/gals who have one?
Thanks, D

updates to come. Should be getting mine any day now. Getting some mods at oex sunset. Andy has his hands full right now.

Danny supposed to get your cuda 250 manana.....I'll do it Monday:D...sold my 6th, a red one, today:D

Dennis, I hurried up and rigged mine for the weekend trip.....hope to catch the first monster on one. I did a quick paddle with mine and put my 10 year old in the gator, with 1/2 inch of water in the footwells it was still very stable.....it paddles REAL easy and seems to really get up and go when you romp on it. This is MY kayak!:luxhello:

ya gonna let me demo it this weekend?:paddleersmilie:

Thanks for the reply.

Andy, can't wait to see what you pull on that thing this weekend.

I'd like to take it out to La Jolla, and demo it. Is OEX in La Jolla going to have it to demo?

Dennis, no demo yaks at LJ, maybe Pt Loma. I really liked the way the new ride handled the rough conditions we encountered on Saturday.......no big fish.......yet:D

Dang Andy, wasted no time rigging it up I see...did it stay dry even with the chop is what we want to know...

cool Andy. Let me know when its all rigged. I was gonna call you today,but figured you would be tired from your venture this last weekend.

I paddled Andy's for 5 minutes in the harbor at Cat this weekend. It paddled great. There were some good rigging options, but I don't like the new front hatch design.

Thanks, Andy. The new ride looks slick. Bummer about not having one at the LJ shop. I'd like to test it in the surf and the "corner".
-D

so when you cut out the small hatch inside the front "compartment" to be able to store your rods in big surf, what happens when u flip? the water will run in the scupper hole, filling up the compartment into the kayak through the hatch.

Brett you can put TrimLock on the hatch to create a seal just like any otehr bow hatch.


Nice boat Andy, got the color youw anted now start painting. I think Im going to need a Sand colored one as well. I like the way the 6" hatch is on the rear deck, I said at the show that I would do the same thing instead of a 4". I really need to get ours out soon and paddle it.

I love my yeller one! Big thanks to Andy and co. at the Sunset OEX and also to the good folks at Malibu for getting it to me in time for my spring break camping trip with the kids at Doheny State Beach. :luxhello: I only took it out once but I launched it with me and my 5yr. old son from the beach and had no problems, surf wasn't big but the water was choppy last tuesday. I am a complete amateur when it comes to open water but I didn't have any problem getting us to the harbor and once there we played a little game of "I'm 'gonna tip you over" we both rocked the boat but never scared either of us so I would say stability is fine. I also ditto Andy on his observations of speed when cranking up the pace this yak just seems to just get faster the harder you paddlenot so with my Mini x! Love my X-13! Andy, where did you put your battery I stuck mine in the fish hold temporarily but obviously its not the place for it! Again thanks Andy I looooove this yak!
