Decision time!
Fly Guy
Need a hand in deciding which Kayak to buy. I have my eye on 2 and
after quite a lot of research have come up with both kayaks for around
the same price in Dubai.
First up is the Malibu X-factor. I can buy this in a choice of colours
direct from the importer for 4200 but would still need to buy a seat.
I have a paddle, roofrack and wheels already.
My second option is the Ocean Kayaks Prowler 'Big Game' which I can
get for 4300 but again I would need a seat.
The Malibu seems a good choice as it has 2 good hatches and 4 rod
holders. The Prowler has a middle hatch that looks quite handy too.
I could also buy a 2 year old used xfactor with paddle, 2 seats, drift
chute, roof rack and hobie life jacket for 4500.
Out of interest anyone using the Malibu Kayaks Stealth 13?
As you can see i have too much choice - any advice appreciated.

There is only one type of fishing kayak that gets you to where the
fish are quick enough to catch them. Also it gives you the best in
trolling speed. The Evolution 465 or 430.
Importantly the adjustable foot pedal rudder steering means you can
control the direction of the kayak when you are pulling in a big fish,
specially when you in a choppy swell.
The Malibu & Ocean are Plastic roto moulded kayaks, which are slower
and heavier for their comparable length. Not easy to repair.
Fibreglass or carbon fibre kayaks are the ultimate in fishing kayaks
and many people that have bought plastic eventually give kayak fishing
or purchase a fibreglass or carbon fibre unit.
The Evolution 465 or 430 made by Stealth is the best fishing kayak on
the market and in the world today.

The Stealth Kayaks do look great and I've read good reports about them but the price is a good 1000 dirhams over the cost of the X-factor before I buy a seat (I already have a paddle). My missus is already raising an eyebrow the the cost of the X-factor so for the sake of my marriage(!) I don't really want to pay over 4500.
If you know anyone with a good used Stealth for that sort of money i'd be very interested to hear from them.
Also, I'm 15 stone but fit, would you recommend the Superlite-x or 465? How much fo you sell the Superlite-X for and do you have them in stock?

is the same length but weighs 23kg and is suitable for your paddler
weight of 95kg. This includes fully adjustable foot pedal steering and
rudder mechanism. I'm not sure what paddle you have but it should be
the new wing blade type for best performance. ↲↲
Your budget is not far off the price so contact me and we can work out
a deal for you and yes stocks are available. If you are serious about
catching fish then make the right choice first time or it ends up
costing more in the long run.

Once you have tried it then you wil understand. Plastic kayak are a
waste of time. They are slow and heavy and not as fun.
