A walk through of my new 2022 Native Slayer Max 12.5 in Hidden Oak. Native Sidekick installed. Purchased from Big Bass USA in Denton MD. Best place to get a kayak that fits your needs. www.bigbassusa.com/Default.asp BigBassUSA?m...
seriously thinking upgrading to this yak,,, started with a cheap sundolphin boss 12ss for the creek, but the heat caused seat issues had to mod it. but i will say the seat is very good. and im a little large for it. time for a quality yak. being i just can't get the stratos 201 in the creek behind the house. hurricane took out the boat ramp
Yes. Many don’t realize that but you do have to subtract the hull weight, drive and seat. That is one of the reasons why I purchased the 12.5 over the 10 for the extra weight capacity.
That is a great question. I honestly loved the Recon 120. My initial intent was to purchase the Recon 120 and then purchase the pedal drive and add it to the kayak at a later time. After owning the kayak I researched the drive and found it extremely difficult to find to purchase. Also after researching I found that the Native Propel drive seems to be a better overall over all drive with a great warranty. I loved the stability, the internal storage from the huge front hatch and how high the seat was. The high seat made it extremely easy to stand. As far as the Slayer Max I wanted the Propel drive, under the seat storage tray that slides out, side panels to drill into to run wires with out drilling into the kayak. I have not had it out on the water yet so once I do that I can give a more thorough comparison. Hope that answers your question.
Late to the game here, but does a lot of water get in the area where your feet will be? I’m interested in this moodel, but I have seen a couple of videos of the 10ft having water
