Ok, so a couple of months ago whilst fishing LJ, I saw the hobie team testing this boat. It is definitely one hell of a machine!! However, if you have ever remarked about the bulkiness of an Xfactor, ya better be ready...they had a trailer for this yak! Just for the record, I am in no way hating on this machine just stating that it is definitely a lot closer to a skiff than it is a "standard" kayak, it is damn near a new concept, it truly looks awesome in all honesty, the sight fishing that can be acheived with this boat is almost unimaginable!! Cannot wait to see this thing in its completed form!!!
