One thing I can say about Aliex, he gonna beat the shit outta his gear like it’s rented 😂😂 now that’s a REAL review
haha this is true lol
Been waiting for this video. Definitely the video I need to see having my morning coffee before work.
It is a long one haha
@@AliexFolgueira lucky I’ll only have the NK 300 with my set up so I don’t think I’ll have that problem where the bow dips down with all that weight of the trolling motor and battery up there. -15° here in Illinois and I got two more weeks until my kayak shows up at my paddle shop. I’m hoping these freezing temps aren’t here in the next two weeks so I can take that yak out when I get it. Can’t wait and watching this video is getting me way more excited for it to be here.
how long have you had that minn kota powerdrive? Any regrets going with this one instead of the Xi3 kayak version? I am in the market for a GPS trolling motor form my OT PDL 120 but not sure which to get as I hear good and bad between the two. Any insights from you would be great. Thanks for sharing.
so, that mk is 3 years old and it died today! again! disclaimers. It fell in the water onces and I don't think they ever fixed it right. MK has a new unit upgraded version of this I have not test it it. Now I hear good things about Xi3s you can get 3.8 plus mPH on this boat, the MK max speed i ever got was 3.5, but again I have not tested the new new one. If i were you I would probably get the xi3
If you could choose only one kayak between the PWR129 and the Titan X12.5 without considering the price, which would you choose as the only boat? And why ? Thank you for this video
Aliex, thank you so much for bringing us all of the great info that you do. What is the speed difference between the NK300 and the NK180 on the same boat?
max speed on the nk180, 5.1 MPH, i can test it but im sure thats teh case, NK300 6.7
@@AliexFolgueira Thank you.
I am seriously considering this boat as an upgrade to my current Old Towne Angler Predator 13. Only thing is how to swap out all my curent rigging onto this new boat. I both paddle the Oldie and power it with a MinnKota 40# thrust Endura Max. I have mounted the motor on a DIY mount on my Starboard side, rear mid-ship which allows me to quitely move about the water (mount and motor are both easily removable using triangle handle knobs). I don't plan on waterskiing behind this boat nor using it for tournament fishing so Mach speed is not important to me. The MinnKota motor is mostly to get me back at the end of the day if the water or winds are contrary. This PWR 129 boat appeals to me for its stability. As a 70 year old fat guy, stability of both the boat and me is important. Did you try standing or fishing from this boat in your trials?
titan , pa14 , pwr129 What is the most stable kayak? In Korea, Bonafide Kayak does not yet have an official importer.
Buenos días Alex! Gracias por el video. Una pregunta.
Cual kayak recomiendas por bajo de $1000 y $1500? Quiero comprar uno que sea alrededor de 10’ para usarlo en ponds, lakes and rivers
Makana is nice viene con un drive, feel free moken 10 pdl tambiem
this is one reason i am considering the nucanoe ultimate. not sure if its more stable then the bonafide but it has no hatches that would lead into the interior of the kayak. hobie pa 14, this bonafide yak, native titan...if they go over you will most likely have a lot of water in your hull...that will ruin your day. you fish in florida, even in shallow waters, days like this will wreck you and i've had quite a few manatees explode under the boat...one actually flipped me. an alternative to that heavy trolling motor might be to get a light troller and then then get the controller from tiny boat nation that lets it work the same as this one...not sure about the weight difference but the i3 is kind of a monster. nice video alex, could tell it was pretty scary.
if you gonna have dual motor the nucanoe is the way to go, with the pwr129 you have to choose, bow or stern but not both, unless teh rear motor is a bixpy or the nk180pro. 1000% RECOMMEND AUTOBOAT Buy the amazing AUTOBOAT HACK here (affiliate) use code ALIEXFOLGUEIRA to save some money geni.us/JHnBN
did you picked the bonafide over the titan because price? , I saw you experimented with the titan x too
well i picked the pwr becuase of the ss127, for me this is like part ii! if i could only have one boat, probably get the titan 12.5 instead, but i have several lol
Any idea when the motor mount plate will be released from ketch?
Should be soon
First fish of the year on the Bonafide for the win bro. 😎
yup a nice taSTY FISH and let it go
Aliex, we always like to see you do all crazy stuffs
flipping next??? wanna see it?
Yes! Find the limits!
Love that set up. If you have space behind your seat try moving the TM battery back there. I had my battery up front with the same TM and it would dig. After moving it behind me I didn’t have that issue and got to 3.4 mph. It’s a different kayak so not apples to apples but it may help when you want to run both.
16# the battery is, not sure if that would make any difference, i will test it just the bow motor alone, no rear or extra weight tomorrow
@@AliexFolgueira I would like to see you put the rotating seat from Big Fish kayak into oldtown autopilot 120. Thks
your right aliex those cables will hold a lot but they do rust internaly and one day may just break so always check ive only had one side break but i was at lowes one day and a couple guys were loading stuff in a truck with taligat down but disclaimer might have pass weight for strngth and while driving to go home those guys whole load of wood was all over the highway. but mine roughted out inside the cover over cable but thank god it was one side and i heard it pop . may have been the salt from going to the beach all the time. the older vehicles were actual metal flat bar on a lot of models all about building cheap now they could make those cables in ss would last forever
I always add a second or third point, just in case.
After you flipped it back over the boat was leaning heavily to one side? I assume the hull was full of water. That is not good. Is that what I am seeing?
Yup, full of water, that's why I opened the video with my summary of what happened. You can unflip it like that just gotta use straps and your own body weight, I was just out of it, after the second incident, I was done.
I went past the beginning to see the flip. I will watch the beginning after work today. I was digging that kayak on till it was full of water. I have a Jackson Cuda. I have flipped and not on purpose. Very scary with gators all around. So looking for a more stable platform. The Jackson did get water in it but not much. It does have a big center hatch. But when flipped the hatch is not deep in the water. So I was able to fish the rest of the day without draining it. Thanks for the video!
Love the videos, is the PWR129 more stable than the SS127?
it definitely is! I'm editing the flipping video should be out soon
@@AliexFolgueira Awesome, I just picked up a SS127 haven’t had a chance to get it on the water yet. Gonna get a nk300 on it in the future as well
Nice looking rig, at least!
nice boat
Why was it leaning to one side after the flip?
Full of water
What do you do with all these kayaks you test
Sell them, buy camera, motors, Batteries, pay for gas, food, hotel trips to film more videos . This kayak cost me $1700, that motor $1600 and broke had to buy a new one two weeks ago another $1700 gone, the cámaras you see that was about $3000, heck the breakfast and bait I bought the day I made this video costed more than what the video made in adsense lol $22
@AliexFolgueira man I definitely envy your grind brother. I have watched a ton of your videos trying to hack at which kayak to get. I'm still undecided hoping to make a choice soon.
thanks bro, the cool thing is there a lot of great choices out there
Hey, just let you know that the cables that are on the tailgate will give out to rust and the bad thing is that I saw that tailgate has some rust. Just think about the cable inside plastic rusting!!??
Which adds to my point, this tailgate have been like this for 3 years lol 🤣
Aliex, I would not tie off the strap to the pickup tailgate support cable (as others told you). It is very unlikely to fail as you stated, however, when you tie the strap and pull significantly it increases the tension in the ends of the cable by more than you think. Probably not an issue, but if it fails on the highway it would be awful!
I feel good about my NK300 pushing my old SP13 vs your Bonafide. I am about 205 lbs, bring my propel drive with me, and my heavily loaded SP13 is consistently doing 6.5 mph with no wind or current advantage. You definitely are getting some drag from water plowing due to the heavy weight of the Minn Kota on the extreme bow! When I first installed my 28 lb battery in my front hatch I water plowed worse than you. I had to move the battery to behind my seat. Now if this deep freeze would go away I might be able to fish again - obviously, I'm not in Miami!
why you add more straps, think about this for a seond, whats more likely to fail? the strap or those steel cables...
yup adds considerable weight to the boat, reducing speed, more testing to come
@@AliexFolgueira From a engineering statics calculation, pulling a perpendicular tension to a already taut cable (tailgate cable) adds more tension to the cable than you might expect. Pickup truck cable would not break, but the sleeves that are crimped on the ends might fail first. As long as the straps are not overly tight it probably doesn't matter.
right, the straps have a higher chance of failing than those tailgate cable connection points....you can accept i won haha
How much money did you have in that kayak with all the motors and equipment? About $20,000?
umm $1500, plus $400, plus $2700, plus $1000, plus $1900 plus $2000 plus, probably forgetting something lol yea gopros $2000 more
$6,800 is cheap for all of that equipment. @@AliexFolgueira
Put a 5hp gas motor see how fast it will go!
i have a 2.5 and a 9.9, gotta get a 6hp someday, weights the same as a 5
For the YT algorithm
It hates me
2.5 mph with the minnkota ? that is disappointing
this unit may be messed up, max speed recorded 2.9, but maybe not, max speed same unit, new on shearwarter 12.5 was 3 mph, bow digging. On the 133x, bit loger it was 3.5mph or so.. I heard the motorguide xi3 goes 3.8 plus on the pwr. THIS MK is the old one, not the new model just released.
Please dont attach to the tail gate straps , those straps are the only thing stopping the tailgate from just coming off . And with the way the straps pull on the cable if you catch a bump the wrong way you will for sure pull onne of the cables off then you pray that tail gate doesn't kill someone behind you ......thats a bad habit i dont need people starting
Please stop talking nonsense, come on, YOU SAW HOW STRONG IT IS! YOU ASLO SAW IT INST THE FIRST ONE, YOU ALSO SAW I TRIED TO PULL IT OUT MULTIPLE WAYS and it does not come off! ARE YOU GOING TO TELL ME THAT THE FABRIC CAMP STRAP ARE STRONGER THAN A 1/4 STEEL CABLE? STOP WITH THE STUPIDITY!
@@AliexFolgueira no the cable is very strong , but if a bump causes slack and enough upwards play the strap could then pull the cable off it's connection up top ..it only slips together like a button on a shirt
@devendavid9tre do me a favor go to your tailgate and try to pull the cable off, take some tolls, slam it hard, pull, do whatever then come back and tell me how strong it is
Sorry still think it's the best kayak. But it needs electric power
really nice boat! I wouldn't load it up like this on bad weather days. more testing coming
Pelican pwr catch 100 and jonny boat looking better and better closer it gets to tax time
excellet little boats
I think autopilot 120 still give the best fishing flexibility for angler what do you think Aliex ?
best kayak ever! people don't understand how nice this kayak is, a do it all if rigged properly.
totally agreed@@AliexFolgueira
Aliex, that's an amazing setup. Especially for that boat. It's made for a stern and bow mount trolling motor. And it's at a great price. 💯 🛶 🌊
well priced for sure, more testing to come
SOOOO FUNNY
Why do u need 7 rods? Why do u need all that crap? Just buy a boat. Your not a kayak guy.
I can take 12 on my man's boat
He's not a kayak guy? First video from this channel I see...
If you could choose only one kayak between the PWR129 and the Titan X12.5 without considering the price, which would you choose as the only boat? And why ? Thank you for this video
Hi personally don't see me using the drive, so why pay extra? Pwr 129 has most of the features, except for 360 seat and drive
@@AliexFolgueira did you prefer the pwr to the titan x 12.5? what do you mean by reader? I agree but the titan is wider and it seems very stable and also it seems more secure. I'm really hesitant between these are 2 incredible boats, help me! :)
@katianalopes6449 if money is not issue, titan is a better boat, more options
