Malibu X 13 more photos
I have one of the prototypes at the Sunset Beach location, come on by and test paddle it in the harbor. I will be taking it out in the surf very soon, hope to have some video and pix.
Don't write off the rod storage. I easily got 4 inside. The first was an 8.5 Inshore the last my 9 foot jig stick. You just slide em in guides up, turn over and slide the next. This screw hatch is not likely the only alternative. Production on these is supposed to be full swing in 2 weeks. The hull is ready, but hardware and rigging is all being worked out. We sold 4 at the show and are taking orders at Sunset and Pt Loma.

Oh, I didn't know the front hatch is like that. Makes for a dry inside if you submarine the nose. Can it still be cut out and open like other models? Is there a X-15 in the works?

Looks like they lost the channels (a good thing). How does the new "tri-keel"
design sound? My last extreme (with channels) gurgled quite a bit... |

Thanks. I see them now. They look a little different than last year's extreme.
I'll check it out at Fred Hall SD. |

Obviously the rods were put in there on dry land standing next to the kayak. How difficult is it on the water, and how tough is it to get to the hatch to flip it back ?
Have they come up with a better hinge or attachment for the hatch? The boat does look good, but seems to have a few things to work out, as all new kayaks do.
