the Apex 1 seat is worth waiting for its like an armchair when i got mine the bloke in the shop said he had one on his office chair to make it more comfortable

no problem

yep the tope are around here i fitted the rubber myself the only fiddly bits were getting the correct cable length ,and i discovered the original foot rests(just remove the lock bars) work better than the one provided in the kit

hi here ,if your up my neck of the woods (near aberystwyth ) your welcome to see my x factor with the rudder fitted and weather permitting have a spin

malibu have lifetime guarantee mate

cheers karl ,get some pics up mate would be good to see the working parts

ive got the Tsunami Paddle it seems spot on lenght wise ,i think its 230 but you would have to check that mate ,

hi carl ,hope all is well , whats this loader? tryed google it came up with nothing ,do you have a link?

hi mate , ive got an x-factor ,and find it spot on very stable and comfy ,also when at rest the footwells dont fill up with water like most other yaks ive fished easterys headlands and open sea ,the rudder i would say is a must makes life a lot easier simple anough to fit yourself ,its made by crack of dawn i load mine(on my own on to the roof of a 4 by 4 )and yes its heavy but doable would i recomend it?well put it this way if i was looking to by now i would still chose the x-factor over all others its a brilleant very well thought out fishing yak

cheers mate ,i have already checked ebay, but wandered if worth doing privately as a kit as it would be a lot easier

it was the white one i was looking at but with a load of each colour it would be the first ever nautical disco

found these and thort they might be off intesest look at the ones called Guardian http://militarykit.com/product_categories/...ghts_optics.htm

i was looking at these when i picked up my x-factor ,great looking little yak and the malibu build quaility is excellent if i had the dosh i would definatly get one as a second yak to see which shops stock them type www.canoe-shops.co.uk

there loads off good points you have made there ,i do feel the need to add that a wide yak does not mean one with poor secondary stability i tested the x to try and find its tip point and i could not tip it the water was filling the rod holders ,as well as the wide yak being more stable mith there seems to be a newer version which reads wide yak equall poor secondary and this is not always the case ,as far as dryer ride gos well its a water sport but with the x i stop paddling and the floor well stays dry ,and i know this can not be said of the prowler to be honest the caper is no way near as sea worthy as the x factor but then the x is not as "rough stuff capable" as the scupper varierty is the spice of life and all that

to be honest mate i would be fine paddling the x for quiet a distance it glides very well its not the yak stopping me ,its me stopping me !!!! i would prefer to be fishing not paddling i got the yak to fish from ,i am a fisherman who uses a yak not a yakker who fishes i think people who are looking to buy a yak need to think what the main use will be ,yes the thiner yak are faster but the space i have to spread out my gear is massive and as i say for me personally fishing comfort is a bigger priority then the ability to go futher . tight lines to all!!!!!

dont discount the x-factor i love mine ,yes heavy out off water but not slow on it makes an incredible fishing platform if your first priority is fishing from it ,instead out paddling 10 miles to a mark then fishing(waste of fishing time imo ) then the x is amazing i have paddled about 4 miles against the tide run and she handled it fine and thats good enough for me

i just wanted to say a public thank you to kayaks and paddles i buggered up the rudder on my x-factor and had the part on back order ,as it was taking so long to get the part they took it of one of there boats and sent it free of charge !! i just though this kind of service should be known about as there are so many money grabbing companies about it great when you find people with such a good attitude

nice report mate looks a good size conger

nice report mate i spotted you while out walking my dog wish i could of joined you (as soon as the foot heals ill be out )

well i own an x-factor to give you an idea what i think read my thread intitled -x-factor first outing report

glad to see you made it out

thought i should let you know stu , just been and checked out the sea (at borth and aber) its brown as hell and very choppy mate sorry not better news

if you go to control panel ,user accounts you can switch this off , or if this doesnot work go to windows updates and download the .net updates should then work

i would of loved to mate but ive buggered up my foot looks like the wind will swing round to the north by about midday ,so you might find some shelter in clarach bay or tucked in behind consti hill tight lines
