Does anyone use an X wing on their X Factor? Will one fit on the new X Factor?
Thanks

It is in the way of moving around easily, blocks access to the front hatch. I have not paddled with one, just did the dry land check-out, decided against it.

Ken/SCXFactor uses one, and has raved about it in the past.  One thing that was cool was the side hatch to put keys, wallets, or mount a FF battery in there.

I checked one out wasn't impressed. I do have a slider and really like it for freshwater great for trolling and comes off the yak easy. Nice having everything at hands reach.   

I wouldn't use either surf launches

I plan to install  GearTrac kit instead of X-Wing (does not fit 2012 XF) or slider. I plan to that my son or daughter will occupy gator hatch, so GearTrac will keep space open for them and at the same time I can mount rod holders and etc.
