wtb: Malibu X 13 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

robertkim425 · 06-15-2011, 01:07 PM

This is probably a long shot, but i'm looking to buy a used Malibu X 13 with the works (bait tank, seat, paddle, FF, etc). My budget is around $700.

edit: Also interested in the Stealth 12!!!

one of the worst kayaks in their line up IMO.

How so? This would be my first yak so your opinion matter haha

I'm a big fan of X-13

I have Cobra Fish n Dive and X-13....but mostly use X-13

If you're over 200 LB , might not a good choice though

my weight is 180 lbs so i'll be testing one out this weekend.

I have a X-13. Fits me well. Good layout for custumizing.

Test paddling a kayak Is the best way to find a kayak you feel comfortable with. I am 250 and have paddled the X-13 and love the layout and paddling in the open ocean and bays and harbors.

My brother has an X-13 and he loves it! I've paddled it a few times and I'm 240 lbs and felt really stable. I like the deck layout too!

So you have said, over and over

obviously not the right kayak for you.

For guys under 200#, (over 200# need to keep it minimal) I think the X-13 is a great fishing platform. Surfs well, paddles great. I could have brought any one of a number of different kayaks to Baja.......I brought this one.
