The Fastest Fishing Kayak on the Market
*Above: Malibu X-13 fully rigged with 'Gator Hatch', 'X-Wing' Console with additional rod holders, rudder & Apex seat - all sold separately; see Malibu Accessories for details
The X-13 is the latest fishing machine from Malibu Kayaks joining the ranks of the top-selling sit on tops such as the Mini X and the X Factor.
The Malibu X-13 features 2 channels which run along the majority of the hull which give the kayak great tracking and speed. It features plenty of storage including a large rectangular centre hatch which is ideal for tackle or rod stowage. The rear tank well provides plenty of extra space including a small hatch making adding a rudder kit an easier operation.
The bow storage is unique to the X-13 in that it is separate from the rest of the kayak and has a scupper hole. This allows you to safely remove the hatch cover without risk of the boat filling up. The front hatch is designed as a wet/dry hatch. For better paddling performance, use a bung in the drainage hole which will raise the bow. To keep your prize catches safe and cool, remove the bung for the return journey.
The X-13 is fully customizable with accessories including the Gator Hatch child seat, X-Wing Sliding console, and Deluxe Apex 2 Seat.

It is much more comfortable than what we have in our other kayaks. I have also tried the Ocean Prowler and the Wilderness Tarpon and found the X13 better than either of them (it glides better, more comfortable seating and is much slower to drift offline in windy conditions).
Now, we fight over the X13 and will be checking out the rest of the Malibu lineup very soon to look into replacing our Ocean kayak.
