I've been paddling my X-Factor all over the north coast this winter. I've been down sections of the Smith, and Trinity, The entire length of the Eel. I've hit and fished each and every one of our Lagoons up here and gone on several forays up and down the coastline. One things thats held true on all my adventures is the x-factors ability to  carry a load and withstand the rigors of expedition travel. I can fit a weeks worth of camping gear in the hatches and stow quite a bit more in waterproof bags in the tankwell. It can negotiate up to class II rapids and surf into the beach on the back of 10 footers. It handles well fully loaded with a lesser tendency to weathercock. I think about self-supported Alaska kayak fishing adventure and I know this is the boat I'd take. It's not fast by any stretch of the imagination but it'll cover 20 miles a day if your in shape.
