Cobra Fish N Dive
OK Scupper Pro
Malibu X-Factor
Hobie Revolution
OK Trident 15
WS Tarpon Series
Malibu Stealth 14
Malibu extreme
OK Torque
Hobie Pro Angler

What you got?

Hmm...have I detected a slight bias towards West Coast manufacturers, or is it just my imagination?

Well seeing as how most kayaks were made out here (until OK moved recently) there is bound to be more on the list from the West Coast. I see no problem with Brians start to the list other than skipping the Prowler 15.

I'd really like a Tarpon 160. I am waiting on CJ when he sells his team version j/k

Maybe you could have a new 160 for Catapolooza next year Bing, I might feel the need for a new one by then.

Oh and send me your email, ill get you that picture of the Sandbass.

You wont be disappointed with the 160 its such an awesome boat.

I'm curious as to why you put the Ocean Kayak Torque in your top 10. I have a '13 PA 14 and a '13 OK Torque. The Torque is fun but nowhere near the quality fishing machine that PA is.

My first kayak was a mini-X which was great for lakes but a bit sketchy for salt.
My second was a Malibu Pro-Explorer, fast and tracked OK but no room for a proper bait tank!.
With my back injury had to move to a pedal yak. Bought an Outback and tricked it out with a lot of help from "Mr. Iceman". LOOOVVVEEE the balance as my screen name infers I Fly fish from my Yak and need the secondary stability it provides. Can't wait to hook a and on the Fly from a yak. Have fished Cedros from a Sportboat and landed a 25# what a kick that was!!!
Can't wait for my first sleigh ride in my Outback!
But that is what works for me!!!
FFY.

I've owned cobra tour, fish n dive, xfaxtor and a prowler. I now own a hobie revo and pound for pound the best kayak, that's for someone like me @ 165lbs. Once you peddle to the dark side there's no going back.

owned an x-factor, Prowler Big game, and now a Malibu Extreme...

X-factor was a great boat. But the Extreme is by far hands down my favorite. I plan to buy another one in the future.
