How is the camo different from the other colors besides price?


Im pretty sure it is just the paint scheme.

Im pretty sure it is just the paint scheme.
When I picked it up I was told it takes alot longer and more complicated process to make a camo color than a solid color, maybe thats a reason for the extra $150???
Another small difference I noticed was the foot pads and pads next to the seat are a camo color and have a grippy pattern... not black. The circular hatch in the back is an option you can add if wanted.I havn’t done that.
Not sure of other differences, maybe majority of people want that color so  they can the extra $$?
Whatever it is, it sure looks nice...

Oh yea Fisherman X, I’ll be selling my X-Factor most likely🤔

Sweet ride! I’m jealous  :smt007 Did you get it locally? I popped in to the SR shop a few times to try to take a look at one in person but that’s haven’t had any in stock.

Looks great, congrats!

Before Sunny snatches them up, does this mean you have some other kayaks to sell?

+1 . I've got a buddy in the market for a dive yak with good storage. How much are you selling the x factor for?

So jealous of such a rad kayak. Although I don't do any top water fishing, it would still be an amazing ride to dive from!

I got it at Wind Toys in SR, they might have  1 or 2 at the moment, but come Jan they will have a whole bunch of them!

I’d like to get $800 for the X-Factor
Comes with seat ,paddle,PFD, and custom Rod/gear holder!  If I can’t get close to that number, I’ll wait till spring to sell it when it will be better timing to sell used stuff?
PM me if interested

Hey Scotty how do you store this at home when not in use? Looks like you have it facing up on bars in your garage?

I have the boat resting on 4 foam blocks which are on a piece of plywood that is attached to a cart
so it can roll around. It may not be one of the options in the owers manual but it works for me!

Wonder how well that will hold up over time.  Not sure I could use foam for indoor/outdoor transportation.

Soft or hard foam, what kind of rating? Assuming you didn't cut to conform

I was looking for kayak foam on the interwebs and found some kayak shaped blocks for racks that were 16$ for a pair, almost bought for support inside my bow for my sail but ended up with a 4"12by12block for 25$, quite expensive but those other ones were good to find.
