I got my Bonafide SS127! Love your channel...best fishing channel on youtube
Had no dealers in my area. I found Amazon had free shipping and several colors available. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=as_li_ss_tl?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=bonafide+ss127+kayak&rh=i:aps,k:bonafide+ss127+kayak&linkCode=ll2&tag=3rdm8y1k3-20&linkId=9f78505e38eb06093e730ac93e4d689b

I wish one of these kayak makers would make a insulated hatch compartment where I can throw fish instead of carrying a cooler on the back of my kayak.

Robert Field - 6 years ago

They make plenty of fish bags that will fit inside most front hatches. I’ve done it plenty and know a lot of guys that do it that way

Bern Pisarcik Jr - 6 years ago

Seam looks rough. Does the end user have to sand it or is this a show rush piece? Nice vessel.

Robert Field - 6 years ago

It’s a prototype. We said that a couple times in the video. The production modes are out now and they’re much more polished

Angus MacGOYver - 6 years ago

These look like stable yaks, I know from the frontier 12 how huge that is. This one needs a hole through the stern to put a wheel cart on, works like magic for unloading and loading.

Angus MacGOYver - 6 years ago

I'm not sure if it's patented by Nucanoe or what, but it's just 1" hole molded through the stern. The wheel cart is nothing but a piece of steel tubing bent on a 90 degree angle, with wheels welded onto the bottom. It allows you to spin the boat upside down and load it on top of a roof rack, just a huge feature for me, because I own a SUV and not a pickup. This Bonafide does look really nice, I like the design it has. If it were just a little wider, you might be able to use a 360 degree swivel seat. For fishing, that's a huge feature to have as well.

Robert Field - 6 years ago

Solid suggestion. The boat is definitely stable. Still haven’t had a chance to test it on the water yet.

SoloSail Boat - 6 years ago

he just claimed they brought deck hatch's to the kayak industry? HA HA HA, after the first line of bullshit I just give em a thumbs down and move on. What a dumbass!

Robert Field - 6 years ago

Um... no I didn’t? They invented a new patented latch that lets them open from both sides. Find me another that does that, I’d be curious to see.

Matt Hauck - 6 years ago

I absolutely LOVE how everyone talks shit on the shadow caster from Dick’s, but now all the expensive companies use the same hull design!

Matt Hauck - 6 years ago

+Robert Field it’s a perfectly capable, stand up, budget rig for a weekend angler, on sale goes for about $600. Most people on forums are haters. Same hull design. Another good example is the Cabela’s advanced angler 120. All the big name fan boys on forums are haters on that too, that’s designed by feelfree, which is identical to 3 waters big fish 120. Typical key board warriors.

Robert Field - 6 years ago

Haven’t heard of that one

James Fisher - 6 years ago

Ohhhhhhh it's like a hobie.......... but not

Robert Field - 6 years ago

Nothing like a hobie

Phillips Va. Fishing Channel - 6 years ago

Hatches? We don't need no stinking hatches!

Robert Field - 6 years ago

Haha

J M - 6 years ago

Wow! Flip down handles and 2 way storage hatches. Absolutely amazing! Bet it handles like a barge too.

Robert Field - 6 years ago

Can’t say, haven’t had it on the water yet.

Dennis Unger - 6 years ago

id really like to see the hull ive seen a lot of first looks but nothing on the hull plus the front tracks look to be a far reach from the seat ................we don't have a dealer yet close by to go look at it but I am really interested in this boat ..............its just a suggestion for anyone who buys one and makes a vid about fishing out of one!

Jiraiya - 7 years ago

Damned.... this thing is awesome! Very well thought out

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Coming out soon, they just started production a couple days ago.

Carlos Augusto Souto Pimentel - 7 years ago

Show de bola tem aqui no Brasil meu zap 27 999192541

Keith Ponchillia - 7 years ago

What does this boat weigh and is it suitable for small and shallow rivers , like we have in Ohio?

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+Keith Ponchillia I'm not sure on the weight of the final production model but I think it'd be perfect for that type of water

Barry Culloty - 7 years ago

What about a big guy size? The 14' crowd?

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+Barry Culloty don't know if they have plans for a 14' boat, but Chad Hoover has been paddling and promoting these boats and he weighs about 320.

kameron steel - 7 years ago

Don't piss in the water. Nasty fuckers

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+kameron steel you don't use a toilet? Those are filled with water...

Mike jones - 7 years ago

All that plastic latch is going to break

Mike jones - 7 years ago

Robert Field cool story bro

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Think so? The entire boat is plastic. Think it's gonna break too? 90% of kayak latches are plastic, and I've never had one break.

R Villarreal - 7 years ago

Would this be a kayak to take out for longer distances and does it handle days with heavier wind conditions?

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+R Villarreal hard to say until I can get one on the water, but I hear it tracks well and it shouldn't be too slow. Probably better options for real long distance since stability and speed are a trade off and this thing is super stable. That front end may catch some wind but that's a problem most kayaks deal with. My advice would be to demo one before you buy once they hit dealers

marco polo - 7 years ago

Great setup...

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+marco polo it's pretty slick

abnsoulja1 - 7 years ago

Why wouldn't you just make it to open from the side lol

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+abnsoulja1 you don't want it to open from the side on the water. You'd have to reach farther. And you can't make it do both (sides and front/back).

Royal Krizberger - 7 years ago

that front hatch is cool the foot track is good that catch all when you flip you will lose all your stuff..

Stephen Gowins - 7 years ago

Robert Field yea dude, get on that salt throwing hater!

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+Royal Krizberger right, it's not an actual storage solution, but it's better than just throwing lures down anywhere, which is what I normally do

Kori Whitchurch - 7 years ago

great looking yak

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+Kori Whitchurch I thought so too

Mark B - 7 years ago

Hans Nutz.. LOL!

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+Mark B he's a great guy.

Luxeee - 7 years ago

The only time I didn't care about the Kayak was at 3:27 because of the girl in the back haha

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+Luxeee hahaha I missed that

Dragster 988 - 7 years ago

Have you tried a wavewalk?

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+Dragster 988 I have not

Angus MacGOYver - 6 years ago

That's a nice hatch if you ever do some serious canoe camping, no doubt would come in very handy.

Robert Field - 7 years ago

I thought it was sweet. Not "game-changing" or anything, but pretty clever.

Brandon Wilson - 7 years ago

Side note...I have watched several video of this guy, no one has mentioned weight.

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Because they can't give an accurate weight with a prototype. The final production model will differ. They won't know the exact weight until the final product comes out of the mold. Give them a couple months and it'll be listed on their website.

Brandon Wilson - 7 years ago

I'm a huge lover of my Vibe Sea Ghost 130, I cannot complain about it at all. But I would most definitely be in favor is getting into one of these bad boyz in favor. And the price point here is actually pretty nice. If I come into a little cash sometime, this is definitely a possible for me.

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Yeah man it's pretty slick and I thought the price point was reasonable! Especially with all these $3,000+ pedal/motor kayaks coming out these days.

Rick Rabies - 7 years ago

junk

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Maybe, never really know til you paddle it.

Alessandro M. - 7 years ago

is very very beautiful

Panfish - 7 years ago

Ohh man congrats on 50k subs! Do you know what the weight of the 10 foot kayak will be?

Panfish - 7 years ago

I will thanks!

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Thanks man! They haven't announced weights yet and probably won't until the final production models are coming out. This was still a prototype so the weight will vary from the final product. Check back to their website when the boat comes out and it'll be listed there.

slickimilano - 7 years ago

It looks neat. A comparison video between the Bonafide SS127 and a Hobie pro in action will be great! Cheers

Robert Field - 7 years ago

If I get my hands on a Bonafide I'll definitely do a review!

Headwaters Kayak - 7 years ago

Stoked to get these here in California. Will make a great Delta Bass Fishing Yak.

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Ohhhhhh yeah! I'm finally editing the West Coast series bro! Two episodes down... the series should start airing in a few weeks. Thanks again for showing me such a good time!

Fishing With Alexander - 7 years ago

Great video I subbed Pls check out my channel I do GoPro fishing videos every week it would mean a lot to me if you could check them out and maybe subscribe:)

Ben - 7 years ago

Check out this great fishing T-shirt :D -> http://bit.ly/FunnyFishingTee

Mathew Davis - Adventures and DIY - 7 years ago

Looks like a lot of head scratching went into designing that yak. I'm looking forward to seeing one up close.

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Agreed man, it's well thought out.

RV Fishing Adventures - 7 years ago

This looks good! One of the critical aspects of a hull that I have to know before buying a kayak is how the water hits it. Yep, I don't want the water splashing against the hull when I'm facing into the wind causing a loud racket. I've seen boats you could hear 300ft away because they were making a popping sound.. and most of those were catamaran hulls. So I'd want to see for sure how this does. Definitely worth checking out though and and price is good too! Thanks for posting this! -Mike

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Valid concerns, hull slap is a drag. A lot of times, the more weight in the boat, the less hull slap with a catamaran (I think). I'll be curious to see too. Those kinds of reasons are why I say always demo before ya buy.

Keep It Bent! - 7 years ago

Nice Robert, thxs 4 sharing

Robert Field - 7 years ago

No problem man! People have been asking me so I took an opportunity to check it out.

Flip One - 7 years ago

I like the high seat on it will be looking forward to see it in person..... they should make one that has a the option to put pedals in there and sell them separately....

Flip One - 7 years ago

+Robert Field ohh and what kayak would you recommend man I'm about your size and weight looking to spend about 1200 I would really like a pedal but there to expensive let me know

Flip One - 7 years ago

+Robert Field so I looked it up I couldn't find it man I tried the nucanoe website on Google and YouTube if you have a link to it it would be awesome if you can send it to me bro .....

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Yeah, some companies are doing that, like Nucanoe. Check 'em out.

RJ Hatch - 7 years ago

Robert you need to do a trip in your kayak across the gulf or a long the east coast

RJ Hatch - 7 years ago

Robert Field at least like from Texas to like Louisiana

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Well that'd be a long trip in the kayak bro... would take me like a month. Haha

Aaron White Fishing - 7 years ago

Great review!!!!

Robert Field - 7 years ago

Thanks Aaron. I haven't gotten it on the water so it's not really a review, but I wanted you guys to at least get some details on it.

Jackson Elliott - 7 years ago

would this be a nice river boat?

Dalton v - 7 years ago

Jackson Elliott have a hard time seeing the tri hull being maneuverable in swiftly moving water. big wide flat rivers it would do fine

Robert Field - 7 years ago

I haven't gotten it on the water so I can't say for sure, but if it performs like they say it does, then I think it'll be a great river boat.

Kayak Fishing InshorePR - 7 years ago

Looks pretty nice.

Robert Field - 7 years ago

I thought so! Look forward to seeing some reviews after it comes out.

tiefsa - 7 years ago

Robert Field - 7 years ago
