OOPS, I forgot the full answer of what a computer plate is! It is where you hook up your electronics to keep them off the bottom of the hull, in case water does get in, think live scope, yakpower, noco etc. If there are any other questions you want answered or perhaps a DIY you want to see, let me know by commenting below!
Nice Share! Ordered mine last weekend, met John @West Marine today, shared your info💥Can’t wait to see the seat option, despise rust as well, Stainless and RTV is our friends in the harsh environments, also Ospho removes the rust, off metals, read the directions. Looking forward to the future videos.
@@ar15gator awesome!!! Yeah saltwater destroys stuff quick. Although stainless is better most things aren’t made with the stainless we need. Most stuff is 304 but that’s ok. I plan on the initial seat video being up this week. It is nice and easy to assemble. I just need to tweak a couple things and it will be perfect!
@@ar15gator oh Jonni is awesome, I didn’t catch on at first, he is the man. Actually helped me to finally decide to say eff it and just do the channel. What color did you order?
@@KayachtLife I ordered the seafoam green one, and I wanna put a Suzuki 2.5 hp on it, but I just saw on your video earlier, that there’s a special stern mount outboard bracket that in development, apparently my dealer in St. Pete is not aware of, and I was sharing my concern with him about that with the load and the weight distribution with just a top mount stern bracket, it’s going to be an interesting visit on Monday, because that’s the dealbreaker with that boat for me, it needs an outboard motor to spend long days on the water to travel great distances.
@@ar15gator I am trying to confirm myself about the stern motor mount for a small gasoline engine. I have heard the rumor hear and a couple other places but I will let you know if I can get it officially confirmed or not!
@@KayachtLife yeah, I spoke with Bonafide this morning, and the stern has a max capacity of 3 hp, or 100lbs of thrust, keeping it in the Kayak classification to meet Coast Guard standards, also worth mentioning those two screws on the bottom of the stern area, have yet to be determined exactly what they’re going to be utilized for, guess we’ll have to sit and wait to see what they come up with, but it’s good to know 💯 that I can mount a small 2.5hp gas outboard engine on the back of that boat-yak 😉
That's an nice looking XTR you got man . I can't wait to see your DIY stuff man . Looking forward to seeing that . Good video buddy thanks you for sharing this video buddy . My buddy from jupiter bassing got one too man . They're some awesome kayak 🛶 man .
@@mackjenkins7721 Thank you! Yeah I love it so far, took it out tandem and handled like a champ in some rough water. I saw JupiterBassin’s got it too, we chat often, that camo is pretty sweet looking! Already started working on the DIY’s they will be popping up on the channel soon!
@KayachtLife That's awesome man it handled like a champ man . Yeah that camo is nice man . Awesome man we do the same thing too chat often & I really enjoy talking to him too . Awesome I can't wait to watch it man . I will keep my Eyes out for it .
Those two screws on the stern under the waterline below the motor mount are for a transom mount that is in development that will allow a gas powered motor to be mounted to the XTR.
@@daveohmer9700 interesting! Thanks for the info, it was driving me crazy. I knew it wasn’t for the rudder or the wings. But never thought they were making a transom mount! Appreciate it!
ITS A KAYACHT 😂😂❤ 🤙🏽🤙🏽✊🏽 I ASKED THEM IF THEY DROPPING OTHER COLORS THEY SAID MAYBE NEXT YEAR ASKED FOR A ALL BLACK OR EVEN A DARKER GREEN INSTEAD OF THE TEAL pallette ❤ still is a hella noice rig 🤙🏽🤙🏽 excited to see how you rig her out 🙏🏽❤️🔥
@@BigMex777 edge to edge is 19 3/4 but frantic edge to edge is 19inches even, the seat depth is 15 inches and the back height is 16 or 17 inches depending on how you measure it
@@tnsteele95 have you seen it in person? It’s not as big as you think. Question for ya, what do you call a hobie pro angler? Native Titan X, Old Town 120pdl? They are all similar sizes. I guess my real question is what defines a kayak?

Two mount points on the sides of the Stern is for power poles.
Thanks! I did see that last night and put the link to the mount for it in the description. BUT you have to drill into the hull for it UGHHHHHHHHHH

Thanks Bro! It's def a KaYacht haha. That green they used was UGH. I wish they did a gator green like the Titan X that would of been #1 Choice!
How wide is the seat?
@@BigMex777 edge to edge is 19 3/4 but frantic edge to edge is 19inches even, the seat depth is 15 inches and the back height is 16 or 17 inches depending on how you measure it
I aint seeing no baby bass! 😂 Def a KaYacht.
Hell yeah!! KaYacht Life all the way!!!
its a skiff
A Micro Skiff! 😄
Can we stop calling this a kayak? Thats a small jon boat...or skiff...not a kayak.
@@tnsteele95 have you seen it in person? It’s not as big as you think.
Question for ya, what do you call a hobie pro angler? Native Titan X, Old Town 120pdl? They are all similar sizes. I guess my real question is what defines a kayak?
That aint no jon boat 🙄
@ it’s a KaYacht, people need to embrace the new term hahaha
