Plan on investing in a sizable kayak rack and the proper straps so that you can safely get your Bonafide kayak to the water. The Bonafide SS127 probably won’t fit in the bed of smaller trucks. Make sure you have the space to store a boat of this design, preferably in a climate-controlled area, although a covered shed will also do. Sit-in kayaks are narrower with a more defined cockpit area that protects your legs and lower torso from rain and splashing waves, especially if you’re wearing a spray skirt to cover the top of the cockpit.Īt almost 13-feet long and nearing 100 pounds, the Bonafide SS127 is on the heavy side for a fishing kayak. If this doesn’t sound appealing to you, you may want to go with a sit-in kayak instead like the Tsunami 125. If you live in a cold or rainy environment, make sure that you’re outfitted with waterproof clothing and be prepared to get a little wet. This combined with the rock-solid stability should make it appealing to any paddlers that are worried about capsizing.īut sit-on-top kayaks offer minimal protection from the elements since your entire body is exposed. This gives the boat a big, open cockpit that has plenty of room. PLEASE NOTE: SKYHOOKS ARE NOT INCLUDED ON THE STOCK MODEL SS SERIES.Like the majority of fishing boats, the Bonafide SS127 is a sit-on-top kayak. Visit your local Bonafide dealer, schedule a demo, and try it for yourself. Whether lake fishing, river fishing, inshore or offshore fishing, the Bonafide SS127 is truly an incredible fishing kayak ready for all water environments. For us, the bar was set at Ultimate Fishability™.
It’s an overall kayak angling experience in which things work the way they should work. It’s every piece, every part, and every function being carefully designed for versatility and with the kayak angler in mind. It’s the comfort and ergonomics that enable long days on the water. Featuring YakAttack GearTrac it gives you the ability to have your gear out of the way but always within reach. It’s feeling confident enough to move around, sit or even standing up to fish. It requires something we call “Fishability”. How did we get all of this performance into one hull? We tested, we measured, we refined, and we did it again – over and over and over until we got what we were looking for.Ī great paddling sit-on-top or stand up kayak is nice, but a great paddling fishing kayak requires more than just paddling performance. The icing on the cake is that in spite of all of this, the SS127 turns really well.
Stop paddling, and the next surprise is the smooth and sustained glide. A few paddle strokes later will leave you wondering how a fishing kayak this stable and only 12 feet-7 inches long paddles and tracks so well.
You’ll notice right away that the SS127 sit-on-top fishing kayak is one of the most stable kayaks you’ve ever been in, which is surprising considering its 33.5” width. If you want to really dig in and cover some distance, the SeatRack™, and foldable seat frame allow quick and quiet conversion to a lower position. The ultra high-back seat allows you to sit with your knees bent, taking pressure off of your lower back. The experience starts with the incredibly comfortable HiRise™ kayak seating system. Designed for maximum stability without sacrificing paddling performance and angler-friendly features where you need them, you really have to paddle this craft to fully appreciate it.
