Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge - View Single Post - Malibu Stealth Series X Wing Console Inquiry

I have a Malibu Stealth 12 as well and had been wondering the same thing. But after looking at them, it seemed to me that it might get in the way and might be more of a hindrance than a help. Instead I installed Ram mounts with Scotty Rocket Launchers with the FF in between them and that has worked out just fine.

I also have a Malibu X Factor but decided that it was already kind of big and heavy to be adding an X-wing to it.

I think that you have more flexibility if you put things where you actually want and need them rather than where the X-wing forces you to put them. It's not a bad product by any means, and if I wasn't using my kayak strictly for fishing, I might install it on the Stealth 12. But as I fish, I don't want any more 'stuff' getting in my way than there already is.
