Each year at ICAST I do the best I can to cover kayak fishing and kayak fishing accessories and then pick my own personal BEST OF SHOW. Sometimes it’s the same as the ICAST Official Selection and sometimes it’s not. This year I chose differently because of the broader appeal of the Native Watercraft Titan X and all that it has to offer. Hope y’all like the video and please share your thoughts in the comment section.

@Pro_2A_1776 7 месяцев назад

Based on what I have seen to date, it seems like the X is going to be a great kayak. It is the kayak i plan on purchasing when they are more available. Native feel free to release the weight. The kayaks are now for sale. What's the hold up...? As usual, these kayak companies seem to be scared to death of giving out the true weight of their units. Bot sure why. We care in a time where consumers understand that a large fishing kayak is going to have some heft. Also the price for this boat is in line with the built-in features it comes with. If the performance matches up with everything else, Native has a home run.

If you're rich, you can get a Hobie here. There is one place in the country that sells them. After the 30% minimum import tax and the mark-up, you can get one for around $7,000. Not happening.

@mike_manning_fishing3198 5 месяцев назад

Native Watercraft has most definitely knocked this one out of the park. I have used a couple of different brands over the years and this kayak is unbelievable. To have a kayak that has been designed and rated to have bow and stern mounted motors at the same time, low center of gravity storage compartments for batteries and sacrificial plates to run your wiring through is unheard of until now. The options are almost unlimited. The Native Titan X 12.5 is on my list of next tournament kayaks for me.

Greg is the one that talked me into a Titan 10.5 over 5 years ago, and it's STILL going Strong...!). As soon as I saw the video that Greg posted on the New Titan X, I went down to our dealer and Ordered one (might even get it before Next Fishing Season, they said!). Have 4 'Yaks now, so what's another one matter? Haha! Thanks for making this video, 'cause lots of us out here are "Drooling" over the New Titan X's).

Two Legends, just full of knowledge, and very respected, as you guys, are the face of our sport. Yes, my favorite angler is GB. And I would love to see Greg with spot lock, a power pole, and his live scope. As for the Titan X. They really just designed an awesome, and amazing fishing vessel. She's just beautiful. All They've done for us, with all the options that are set up for you, the swivel seat, storage, the deck, how it's ready to easily make a fishing machine. I could just go on and on! $3600.00 I think is extremely a perfect price point for this boat. I love my 12ft fin drive, with all my accessories, NK, and next season I'll add my Xi3. Great review, from you guys. And Greg, is extremely creative with his Titan he just not long ago had the wizard design for him. 🙏 🌊 🎣 🛶

@yajmeneu 10 месяцев назад

Those plates, battery placements, wiring design, seat and balance is game changing. Not having to drill instantly ups the value of this kayak as you can re-sell it easy for a new model 5-10 years later. Seen nice kayaks that people had to get rid of, but they've drilled into it for some kind of mod and instantly loose interest even at a decent price.

@andrewwatson754 10 месяцев назад

Curious as to how sidekick wheels deploy...is it lift each side and swing down lock into place or more like a cart where you have to offload some weight & gear to get it up on the cart correctly? Basically do the wheels get you off the landing and back to the truck as easily as 1,2,3?

@ChadHooverFishing 9 месяцев назад

Most people rotate them down and into position while still on the vehicle or trailer. But you can raise the kayak and deploy them on the ground. Once in the water the kayak floats up and you stow them, coming back to the ramp you just do the opposite.

Have they done anything about the water coming into footwells with these kayaks? Native is notorious for a wet kayak.

@ChadHooverFishing 10 месяцев назад

I asked that question when I saw the water coming off the boot in the promo video and I was told that it was because they had the scuppers in and it was raining. The Native rep told me that this boat will be dry and that they put effort towards that in the design process. So, while I haven’t been in it and can’t confirm it 100% personally, I was told it wouldn’t be an issue with this kayak, at least not in the 12.5, I honestly didn’t ask about the 10.5

Do any modern kayaks use a stabilizer similar to a hawaiian canoe? To keep it from tipping.

No, because the stability is built into the hull and those outriggers make it difficult to navigate most of the places that we fish in kayaks. There are some aftermarket versions, but with the stability of most modern fishing kayaks they are not needed.

Why does this not have Hobie's fin style pedal drive? The patent expired, Pelican is now using it for example.

@ChadHooverFishing 10 месяцев назад

Well, there are several reasons. 1. Native developed this well before the patent expired and they were the first with reverse. 2. This pedal drive is vastly superior in the reliability department. 3. Many people love the instant reverse without have to pull a cord or anything like that. 4. Some companies have integrity that extends beyond whether it’s “legal” to do something 5. Hobie has patent extensions on the reverse and other improvements so it would be like going back to not having reverse at all after you are the company that touted “First with Reverse” for over a decade. 6. Because they have improved this drive to the point where it works flawlessly with their hulls and systems and it’s very durable and maintenance free for the most part 7. Because companies like Pelican, Lightning and a bunch of other Alibaba boats are already doing it like you said.

Isn’t that a Nucanoe seat?

@ChadHooverFishing 10 месяцев назад

Only if the NuCanoe seat is the seat from every bass boat and pond boat that used it before. But I know what you mean. Native had a spin around seat a long time ago on one of their Paddleboard kayak hybrids, Diablo had one, Jackson has it on the BlueSky, etc. It’s just hard when people say this stuff when it’s all been done before in other places. It’s the evolution of the sport

@@ChadHooverFishing You’re right. I actually did see one of those seats on Amazon but under a different name.

Does have spot lock

@ChadHooverFishing 9 месяцев назад

Spot lock is a feature of the motor, not the kayak

i will like to know how good is offshore

@ChadHooverFishing 6 месяцев назад

I will find out very soon. Can’t imagine that it’s not going to do very well, but we will put it through the paces to make 100% sure

The price of the kayak is $3,600.00. With all the accessories they have on this I think the total price would be close to $10,000. You can get a decent used bass boat for that price.

@ChadHooverFishing 10 месяцев назад

But then you still have a bass boat. We fish out of these kayaks for what they offer in access and control and even if a “bass boat” was cheaper it’s not the point. And you are pricing out all the stuff new and then comparing it to something you can buy used which isn’t an apples to apples comparison. If you bought this boat new, then shopped for the motor and other parts used you wouldn’t be anywhere near $10,000. Also, this boat was setup over the top to show off for ICAST, most people aren’t putting a bow mount and stern mount and two Power Poles

Hull speed is 1.4 x the square root of the waterline. 1.4 x 3.4=4.8 mph. To get a boat go faster then hull speed it would have to plane.

@ChadHooverFishing 5 месяцев назад

That’s true in a planing hull situation and with a fixed “load”. You can’t make a general statement like that about a displacement hull and you can’t get a defined waterline number from a boat with an adjustable seat and payload

@nyjeff100 5 месяцев назад

@@ChadHooverFishing The math equations 1.4 can vary between 1 and 1.4 based on the shape of the displacement hull. My point is a 10 ft kayak will be slower than a 12 ft kayak. All 12 ft kayak will have the same hull speed.

Hey Chad, glad you kept calling it a boat. In my opinion it's not a kayak. It's a tiny boat.

@ChadHooverFishing 10 месяцев назад

Cool, you can call it whatever you want. I’m not sure why people get so wrapped around the axle about this though honestly. Once you go down that road if it’s not seal skin stretched over a hand made frame is it really a kayak?

@seancline8130 10 месяцев назад

@@ChadHooverFishing no one is wrapping around any axles. I just like telling it like it is and thats a tiny boat.
