Yes it was to you fish11, and i love the x-factors, almost had one of those before i scored two explorers for the same trade! Now my dad, my brother and i can all go fishing together. And a boat is a total must if you want to catch trout up here in the summer, you need to get your lure down low(leadcore or downrigger). Unless you have an awesome cast, then you can just do a sliding carolina rig from the shore with a blob of powerbait and it works somewhat all year.

I got the X FACTOR used last May. It's and older model so it has the slanted rear hatch and does not have the center high hatch that can be turned into a built in bait tank. Still it has a lot of storage space and is super stable. It handles the surf great. It is a little slow because of the flatter bottom but I just see it as a chance to get a better workout. After reading a lot of post on BWE and learning all the different scenarios that are involved in kayak fishing the ocean and surf landings, I knew the X FACTOR was the Yak I wanted. I got a great deal and picked it up for $500 with paddle seat and fish finder. I am constantly upgrading all my gear. That I think is normal to most of us. Tight Lines
