I would call this a micro skiff, stand up paddle board hybrid. Not quite as light as a SUP but not a real boat either.

The SUF looks great and well thought out. Handles to carry it easier, wells for fly lines in the front, rod holders and such.

The model Frank had rigged up was the motorized version. The rig was cleverly done. The controls for the trolling motor is tethered to the chair. When you pivot left it turns left, when you pivot right it turns right. The control of speed, forward and reversed next to your thigh.

The sitting position is super comfortable. I say more comfortable that any kayak seat I have been in. Stability while sitting is also excellent. I stood up and did not have any issues with balance. If you like standing up and fish you will like how the X-fish fish.

There is a cooler holder in front of your seat which fits perfectly a Coleman cooler. Not only does this allows you to travel with food and drinks it also doubles as a casting deck. The casting deck gives the angler better view and vantage point when looking for those sneaky fish on the flats.

In front of the cooler is recessed area. This space is great for holding fly line from blowing into the water.

Once in the water the boat moves around very nibble. The draft is minimal but you will need about 12 inches if you are using the trolling motor.

I ran the boat with the motor as well has turning it off, paddling it standing up. Even with the excess weight of the battery and motor I though it was paddled well and was very stable.

If you’re looking for cross over from Kayak, SUP + micros skiff this might be the unit for you.

It will not be for you if you are looking to throw it over a fence or put it on top off a SUV. It has more weight than your regular kayak and a bit cumbersome to launch but once on the water it is a very good fishing platform.
