    I have to say my Bonifide has just about replaced my bass boat. I used my bass boat more for crusing around this year then fishing. I cant wait till spring to get back on my waters.

    Same here. I catch bigger fish and get away from the crowds with the kayak on small ponds. Love it.

    I love the Bonafide (I own an Ascend)...but I'm ready to go to a pedal drive.

    I'm looking to buy a lightly used or new Bonafide SS127 as soon as I sell or trade off my rifles and crossbow as I no longer deer hunt. Looking forward to getting a good stable kayak for this old dude.

    Rumor mill is saying Bonafide will have a pedal drive within a year. Will fit the 127 and 107.

    I was at Great Outdoor Provision Company this past weekend and the staff there was saying Bonafide was being super non-committal about it....to the point that it seemed like they were purposely avoiding the subject. I've got my eye on a Jackson FD, but am hesitating on pulling the trigger because I'm waiting to see if Bonafide will announce a pedal drive. I've seen a few youtube vids of people that have put modified pedal drives into the hole.

    For me the Hobie breaks the price-point and just about necessitates the need for a trailer. I want to keep the option of throwing it into and dragging it out of my truck bed.

    ^^I'll have to agree with you there. The Outback is a good option. Forgot about that model.
