Picking up the xFactor today - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

CJ, Brent, and Brian have been awesome. I look forward to doing more business with them in the future. For some reason I can't post multiple photos with iPhone. So I will post more separately.

It looks like a nice boat.

They should give you a couple hundred dollars discount due to the poor paint job. How frickin hard is it to paint the entire boat one color?

That's a nice looking kayak

OEX does great work. Nice and clean. I have to admit that I felt blood leaving my head and rushing to my legs, when I first saw the camo pattern. I think my visicarbon light and flag will help make my camo yak more visible....lol

The only thing I noticed is the dark brown kinda reminds me of the sea dogs. Hopefully I won't be shark bait out there.

I don't know how that icon got there. I hate using iPhones for web stuff.

I don't know what the bottom of the kayak looks like but how do you clean out the water pump if it gets plugged while you're on the water?

That is a good question. I may have to bring a brush with a very long handle. Is this a common problem with bait tank set ups?

This is one of the reasons for getting the 2013 instead of the blem. I am a bigger guy and heard that water could come into the rear hatch. I have lost over 70 pounds but is is nice to know that there won't be an issue. I also like the built in transducer mount too.

Looks great man now all you need to do is get on the water. Whens the maiden voyage?

Siebler · 12-18-2012, 10:56 AM

Wiring is all finished up and ready to go for you!

As for the pump getting clogged, It is a recessed fitting with a screen. Clogging isnt usually and issue unless you get into some heavy cut up eel grass or similar. Everything on this si same as a Stealth.

that is a nice fish killing machine! Congrats

Sweet, definitely worth the wait. I gotta upgrade to the new model, that new bait tank is BA.

Is the battery within reach? Would reversing the flow on the pump work?

danjor · 12-18-2012, 11:39 AM

When these start showing up at the blem sales I'm getting one! I have 2 of the 2012 models and there great but... that flat hatch in the back is a great feature. Would help with my problem of where to safely put this huge expensive lithium battery I have besides the in bait tank hatch where I need to put bait.
