This thing is really cool but just my opinion that it’s definitely stretching the definition of kayak to the absolute limits haha.

[rhodesianhunter]

That boat is sick! 👏 I’ve seen all the comments…I think some people forget, you make smaller kayaks too. So for those of us that want something like this, thanks!

[SD-ftgs]

I was excited for about 1/2 a minute, and then I realized this is no longer a kayak. It's a skiff! which means paddling it would be hellish. battery dies because you got caught in a strong current boom, you have to paddle 4miles against current and no can do... Furthermore, since this will follow the price inflation protocols we have seen for kayaks since 2015, this boat will also be in the price range of a skiff or larger used bass boat.
It is sad to see how completely Kayak designers have forgotten the essence of what a kayak fishing platform is. It is frustrating to see how they have gotten caught up in an arms race for the most expensive biggest "kayak like" boat they can make. (kind of following the ridiculous midsize truck race to the bottom).  
Here is the thing Bonafide, and all the other expensive kayak makers: 
#1 a kayak needs to be GREAT at paddling or pedaling. it should be stable for sure but also fast. this should always be the case WITHOUT a motor.  
#2 a kayak can't weight so much that a single kayaker exhausted after fishing/paddling/peddling all day, can't easily get it onto their vehicle. 
#3 perhaps most important a plastic KAYAK cannot be a similar price to a larger more practical fishing boat used or new, ie if your Kayak cost as much as a used center console you have failed in your job. Sure Hobbie started the trend, but why follow it. (I am not talking about a carbon fiber ocean kayak, or wood lathe custom kayak, or an exotic material kayak or a competitive custom racing kayak). 

The economic issue here, is that the outdoor market will eventually come back down to earth from the ridiculous heights of the covid years, and you will have to figure out how to make money again through volume versus over inflated insane margins. Kayaks were always a tool for anglers to circumvent the overpriced excesses of the leisure/bass boat industries, now they just seem intent on competing with those overpriced toys by being even more ridiculous...

Seriously what kind of kayak designer never mentions a paddle or paddling performance while presenting a new kayak?

[EvanMorsell]

My son is 11 months old and I've been on this fence about picking up a small bass boat or jon boat to get him out on the water with me. Those options just didn't feel right being that I love kayak fishing so much. Thank you for creating the perfect solution!

Finally another kayak manufacturer used NuCanoe's top feature. The 360 degree swivel seat.

[JakubChinski-fbbh]

Cant wait to get one it looks like it will be perfect for catfishing

[Seids_]

Just saw the release of the PA 25 and just wanted to say the designers at Bonafide and Native should be proud of the work the put into both the PWR and XTR to push the industry forward, with many of your features now present on the new PA.

[ccwoutdoors]

I agree with the other post this is no longer a kayak but a small skiff. I have a Nu-Canoe unlimited that you can mount a small 2.5hp outboard on and or a bow mount trolling motor. Extremely versatile and still a kayak.

[J.WannaFish]

LOL, He looks so small standing behind the “boat” 😂

[michaelsanchez]

This kind of boat will definitely force tourney trails to define what a kayak is lol

[lmbnation]

As someone who hasn’t rigged up too many boats or kayaks before, tutorials or in depth walkthroughs of basic setup options (like the tournament style at the end of the video) would be a huge help. Knowing which devices, poles, mounts etc. to buy and use, as well as how to mount them and wire them and set up breakers is a bit confusing to me. It’s hard to figure out where exactly to start.

[livoutside]

Very Excited about this new model! Great way to enjoy a full tournament set up with the ability to take a friend or child with you to enjoy your time outside!

[milehighhydroguy]

I feel they need to have a drop-in slot for a pedal drive to give people the option of pedal, electric or gas. I was just at Lake Michigan at Kewaunee, went almost 3 miles out and had battery issues once I got out that far so no choice but to pedal back in my Native S;layer Max 12.5 which took more than an hour. I was glad I had my pedal drive to do that! Not having a pedal option on this craft would keep me from buying one.

[TWC]

This is awesome. Y’all are knocking it out of the park with your kayaks.

[marioibarra]

Awesome kayak. Man i wanna test this out in the pacific ocean for halibut, rock fish, and crabbing. Let me know if you need someone to test it out and give ya feedback in the salty life.

[mmancino]

That might be better defined as a hybrid skiff. That thing's gnarly. I want one😂

[Anothermidwestfisherman]

This is an absolute insane kayak!! And I am very highly considering this for my next kayak build, would be perfect for me and my son or my son and girl!

[Ghostedfury]

man i love it. i know which kayak i want now. i been looking for a new one and this one nails everything. bonafide really knocked this one out the park.

[MrAspire]

I think it’s a great looking boat. If a guy is running tournaments. Pass that a guy might as well buy a nice small boat, I can’t imagine In practical use a guy probably would launch it off a boat dock every time. Rather it is 12ft or 14 boat.
I do love the innovation, and hard work that went into building it though, but everything you guys do is just awesome!!!
Thank You for all you guys do for kayaking.

[LowbornCrew]

Would love to see a bank beater verson make it super light with that open design for paddle only tournaments you could hit both markets as well as the guys who have a kayak for specific bodies of water that are kayak only like my local ponds.
