WTT my X-factor for something lighter - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

jephs422 · 04-27-2009, 01:20 PM

I absolutely love my X factor and have zero issues with it on the water. As a matter of fact I am real hesitant to think about trading it off. The problem is though; after 3 back surgeries and a few other issues, I am just not strong enough to lift it up on to the truck solo anymore and I can't get it down stairs solo. That leaves me no options to yak solo. I am looking to trade it for something a bit lighter that I can carry solo. It is fully rigged. If anyone is interested I'll take some more detailed pics and post them.

in this gratuitous self serving pic you can see the crate with the rod holders, and I have a bait tank/battery all set up there too, I just use my bait tube mostly

Maybe you should stop lifting all those Threshers!

You ever thought about getting a Thule Hullavator to assist in the lifting part? I used to own an X-Factor also and although it is heavy, when it comes down to lifting a yak I don't think 10lbs or so will make much of a difference on your back.

I thought about one of those, but I have a truck. And it's not impossible to load up myself, it just sux, LOL. It's the carrying it that is too hard. I think I might just have to make a set of wheels with 15" rims, then I can go up or down stairs all I want, LOL.
