Malibu X13 review - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

For a minute there I thought I had logged into a different forum

Nice review. What was the issue with the rivets? Were the holes too large or were the rivets not fastened properly?

Just about every kayak leaks to some degree. After six kayaks I know what to expect. I routinely seal every hull penetration as soon as I get the kayak.

Dougs got the right idea i reckon, reseal every thing just to be 100% sure no matter what kind of kayak you have

Thanks very much for the comments guys

I thought the X13 is a great kayak and well worth considering when looking for a new one.

mine comes in Monday

, with the rudder package, 4" hatch in fishwell and X-Wing....probably won't touch the x-wing for several weeks untill I get used to the yak. Hopefully this will be years ahead of my P.Caster.
