Looking for Advice on X Factor Purchase.... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Malibu's warranty is hit or miss. I personally haven't had a bad experience with them, but have heard others complain. Personally, I think it all comes down to how the "complainers" felt about the product vs the service. I've definitely had some issues with my Stealth, but Malibu has been good about ramification.

Theres a used Xfactor (I believe its Jordan's) on CL, I've seen the boat before in person and I would attest that it's a good deal.

Looks like a good deal and stable otw......probably paddles as slow as an X Factor

I swear that my first generation XF with he smooth bottom is a good deal faster than the newer ones paddled side by side. But you have to make sure the plastic around the scuppers isn't poured too thin or else the bottom puckers out around them.
