The All New Cobra Kayak, the MARINER-XF is here.

BTW-I didn't tell any one anything other than wait a few before you buy anything else...something good is coming from Cobra

That's true... Sean didn't let the cat out of the bag... didn't mean to make it sound like he did.  He basically advised me not to get too excited about the X-factor because Cobra had something better in the works.

Better is always a tough one...but for the people there this weekend that is probably quite true, for others maybe not.  There isn't a single best yak, but this looks to provide the advanced yak fisherman with just about everything you could possibly want.

Haven't heard any kind of price does anyone know it yet?
Thanks Jack

More competition the better.  Better products, cheaper price.  That's capitalism!  We conservative right-wingers from the Red part of this state love that.

Think I may have to kick C-Level off of Team Cobra. Seems he went and got his shiny new kayak all bloody today. LOL

First La Jolla Launch of the Mariner and Todd Lands 2 Yellow Tail.

that is good picture of the cockpit of the mariner[oh yeah, big fish too]. nice color on the boat, start shipping north!

Ric, what's the MSRP on the Mariner?

Lots of sweet photos at http://www.plasticnavy.com/gallery/mariner

I'll be in the cue to try it at Mendo!

I spoke with Ric today and he is going to get GWKC an early demo so we can get demos going while they ramp up production.  The more I look at this boat, the more excited I get.

I hate to spread rumors but one of my contacts down south said prices start @ $799 with no hatches.

These kayak manufacturers are killing me. Just when I think I have the top of the line fishing kayak; something better comes out!!!! Bill Gates I am not. Time to do some horse trading.

looks like a winner! Can't wait to test ride it (especially on a really bad day at Linda Mar)  

If you like what you have seen of the Cobra Mariner-XF so far... then check this post out.

Sweet deal Ric!

I *knew* there was a reason I couldn't wait to join the Cobra board!

As the other Big Man eyeing the new boats in Rics picture, I can tell you that this boat is incredible.  Fast, stable, tracks well, and surfs good.  It didn't hurt that I was able to put a few calicos and sandies on the deck that day we tried them.  There is so much storage on these things.  At over 14' this is plenty boat, long but turns on a dime.
