Guys, for what its worth, I do not rate the Xwing. In my experience, whilst it suits the US style fishing wher Malibus are the dominant brand, and the oceans where they are used have surfaces like lakes, I found that the Xwing in our oceans which are rougher and windier acted like a sale and make pa...

No worries mate. Them front hatches are never a completely tight water fit (due to the sheer size of them, and the fact that plastic cant be made rigid for a complete seal). Hope myour enjoying the Pro ex, Im thinking of getting one myself for a creek yak..............that or the sierra 10

Hi Steve, nice yak. Im not sure if your aware or not, but looking at your photo, you have the gator hatch secured incorrectly. I notice also that you have fitted some sort of extra strap/tie down buckle or ratchet set up to pull it down tighter??? If its any help to you, then those two black lugs ei...

G'day Nice review. Am tossing up between this yak and the OK prowler 13. Do they differ much? Any thoughts? Thanks mate. CHeers, Dave The X13 is quicker than the Prowler 13, and is also a drier ride. It has more room in the cockpit for handling fish, and also has more storage area's and places to m...

Here is a running rig that I fitted to my old Xfactor. I am about to fit one to the X13 and went back to reference this, so I thought I would share it as some of you might find it useful at some stage one day. Mine did not exactley work out cheap due to the fact that I could not find any standard st...
