Congratulations on your new Kayak. I think you made a great choice. I have an earlier version of the X Factor and I love it. The X13 I also own does paddle faster but is not anywhere as stable. As I found out recently in the open ocean, when the wind is causing washing machine conditions it will roll on you when your not paying attention to the whitcaps from multiple directions. My X Factor never makes me feel than way, even in much worse conditions. I envy the built in bait tank in the new one because it lowers the center of gravity even more and leaves even more deck space for those big fish. Enjoy your new Toy. Tight Lines
