Bonafide Kayaks EX123

The HyCat hull is engineered to provide a hybrid catamaran-style platform. This design creates a wider, more stable base than traditional V-hulls, making it easier to stand or move around in the cockpit without feeling tippy, even in choppy water.

Yes, it is designed with utility in mind. Between the dedicated MiniTub dry hatch and the stern HatchWell, you have ample secure storage for camping gear, and the 375-pound weight capacity easily supports a paddler plus a significant load of equipment.

The EX123 features a QuickClick stadium seat, which is designed for all-day support. It offers an ergonomic shape that keeps you elevated and comfortable, reducing the fatigue often associated with standard molded plastic kayak seats.

At 67 pounds, the EX123 is manageable for most adults. It includes oversized Fat Grip handles that make it easier to get a secure hold when carrying it to and from the water, though using a kayak cart is recommended for longer distances.

While sit-inside kayaks inherently have a more enclosed cockpit than sit-on-top models, the EX123 is designed with a spacious cockpit layout. It prioritizes accessibility, but it is still best suited for paddlers who are comfortable with the standard entry and exit technique for sit-inside vessels.

The hull is constructed from rotomolded polyethylene, which is highly impact-resistant. Additionally, the kayak comes equipped with dual skid plates that protect the most vulnerable areas of the hull from abrasion when you are beaching or launching on rough surfaces.
