Love this video. Looking for my first kayak as well and can't decide between this and the Crescent LiteTackle. Both seem to have very good reviews overall, but this has a couple more features.
Great video American Outdoor Kayak shop sold me my Ss107 Bonifide yak. I had shop owner, Joe, install a minn Kota on it and it’s Awesome. I keep it a Beach house 100 miles away. SO, Yesterday I went to American Outdoors shop and sat in a Bonifide RS117. Nice nice little lighter boat. If you’re in Washington State check out the Bonifide at American Outdoor in Tacoma. This video has me thinking about kayak Number Three!
This is absolutely awesome to hear man!! I really have to see this Minn Kota on the SS107... This could be a major game changer for my next kayak considering I’m looking to upgrade in size. I was thinking the Oldtown pilot but it’s so freaking heavy 😭.
Nice job with your review. I like the fact that you did it on the water! Nice fish too! I have the exact same kayak, its my third Bonafide. One bit of advice, add an anchor trolley for your stakeout pole. Bonafide will not warranty your hull if you bust a scupper hole using them for stakeout.
Hey Brain, Thanks for the advice man that’s a great tip to have. I didn’t even think of that being a issue but now I will get that set up. Thanks for the feedback on the review and glad you are a fan of the Bonafide like me!
I actually bought one love it been windy both day but appreciate videos like yours helping me to find the right one for me would've loved to get canyon color but got top gun grey
Hey I actually ended up getting some a couple months back and I’m so thankful. If you look through some of my videos you can see that I’ve lost a $500 combos by not having those $5 floats lol.

If you haven’t made a decision yet I would say go with the Bonafide man. It’s a fishing vessel that I was very proud to own.
I just picked up an RS117 myself and came across your channel. I was checking out your vids on the RS117 and just Subscribed. Good stuff man!
Great video

Great review! Glad to hear you're happy with the kayak. Do you still own/use this one today?
Great video! Helped sell me on getting this as my first kayak. Just placed the order.
Nice! Have you spent much time in it?

Hey buddy, any idea if you can upgrade the seat. The only thing I prefer on the other 2 models was the seat is slightly better.
Yeah I think the hardware is different on the other kayaks. I completely agree that the bigger Bonafides has way seats.
Any idea if a longer leg person will fit in the kayak with the seat in the low position?
Have you tried this vs others in the class like the Jackson bite or nucanoe flint?
Looks so stable, new subscriber here from Instagram!
Extremely surprised how stable the kayak ways and thank you for subscribing!
Do you have any idea why they changed the foot pedals rails on the newer ones?
seems like a lot of water on the floor, ever run with scupper plugs? Otherwise I like the characteristics.
Thank you
Very cool video 🤙🏻 what knot did u use to tie that lure on? Thanks
Which part?
Subbed, Great video!
I have two of these and my dad and I love them! Now I just need to catch a fish like you do haha
What's the pole you put in the scupper whole
How's this holding up thinking about getting this kayak soon
I actually bought one love it been windy both day but appreciate videos like yours helping me to find the right one for me would've loved to get canyon color but got top gun grey
Thinking about getting this one but im a bigger guy do you think it will still be as stable even for me? Im 6’2” 260lbs
Did you end up buying one?
how tall are you?
Lovectge honest / new review
Is it possible to install a peddle system in this?
No
I like your video. 👍 You might want to get some styrofoam wraps for your fishing poles. They have saved me hundreds of dollars. 🎣💦
