Sweet new ride. I assume the water is still in the 50's, thus no fish?

Not as stable, but its stable enough and I was willing to sacrifice the stability for speed.

Congrats I hope it's what you wanted. I know you loved your X Factor when I fished with you. You sure had to wait a long time for delivery. Hope you bloody the deck next trip. Tight Lines Josh. Mark

Yea I loved the x factor and all the storage and weight capacity, but it was time to get something faster and its helping cut back on the amount of crap I take out with me. Im going to Irvine lake today with a buddy so it will be interesting when my kayak is 2 feet longer than the skiffs.
