Frequently Asked Questions About the Bonafide XTR130
Who is the Bonafide XTR130 designed for?
The Bonafide XTR130 is for anglers who want a walkable, bass-boat-style deck on a kayak platform, with an elevated standing area, a PivotPro swivel seat and a layout built for motors and electronics from the start. At 12'7" long and 40.5" wide, that beam is what buys the deck space. It suits heavy electronics builds, larger anglers, gear haulers and occasional tandem use.
How much weight can the Bonafide XTR130 carry?
The Bonafide XTR130 has a published capacity of 750 pounds, or approximately 340.2 kg. That figure covers the kayak, the paddler and the gear together, so remember the boat is a meaningful share of it before you step aboard: the fitted hull alone is 155 lbs. Leave margin rather than loading to the maximum, and check your own rigged weight first. Capacity is published on the Bonafide XTR130 specifications page.
How much does the Bonafide XTR130 weigh, and how should it be transported?
The Bonafide XTR130 has a fitted hull weight of 155 lbs and a fully rigged weight of 170 lbs, both before a motor, battery or electronics go on. At that weight, plan around a trailer or a powered loader rather than assuming a roof rack will work, and plan for a second pair of hands and a set of ramps. Check your vehicle's roof-load limit and rack capacity before considering rooftop transport.
What comes with the standard solo Bonafide XTR130?
The Bonafide XTR130 is supplied as the kayak with its PivotPro swivel seat, the standing platform, the gear tracks, the PowerLink ports, the tank well and the internal hatch storage. The accessories that appear in most XTR130 photographs are separate purchases: the second seat, bow and stern motor mounts, the Captain's Bridge crossbar, a foot-controlled steering kit, motors, batteries and electronics. Send us the build you have in mind and we will list exactly what it takes.
What is required to fish the Bonafide XTR130 tandem?
The Bonafide XTR130 needs one additional PivotPro seat to be fished tandem; the hull and deck already support it. Two points are worth thinking through first. Two adults plus gear moves you a long way up the 750 lb capacity figure, and a second seat takes deck space a solo angler uses for standing and moving around, so it is worth deciding which of the two matters more for the trips you actually take.
What bow and stern motorization does the Bonafide XTR130 support?
The Bonafide XTR130 supports motors at both ends: a stern motor mounts directly, and bow motorization is supported through a dedicated mount, including a large bow mount for motors that need 90-degree orientation. The deck is laid out for dual-motor builds with substantial battery storage, and a foot-controlled steering accessory can be added. No maximum motor rating is published for this hull, so we do not state one. Start with the Bonafide XTR bow motor mount and tell us your motor.
Are a motor, battery, charger or mounting kit included with the Bonafide XTR130?
The Bonafide XTR130 ships as a paddle kayak with a motorization-ready deck, so no motor, battery, charger, steering system or mounting kit is included. Every powered component is ordered separately, and the mount you need depends on the specific motor. Settle it before you order rather than afterwards: send us the motor model and we will build the parts list, circuit protection included, so nothing arrives missing.
How do the Bonafide XTR130 PowerLink ports support forward-facing sonar?
The Bonafide XTR130 PowerLink ports let you run wiring between the bow, the seat and the stern through gasket-sealed plates instead of opening up the hull. The plates can be drilled for switches and wiring while the hull itself stays intact. The deck is compatible with forward-facing sonar and downscan installations, and a computer plate and in-hull mounting plates are available for tidier builds. Displays, transducers and batteries are separate purchases.
Which water conditions suit the Bonafide XTR130?
The Bonafide XTR130 is at home on lakes, ponds, backwaters, swamps and protected coastal and intracoastal water. Its shallow draft and casting deck suit sight fishing and push-pole work on flats, and the width and capacity suit hunting and gear-heavy trips. It is a wide, tall, heavily loaded platform, which behaves differently from a narrow hull in wind and chop. Weather, current, your load and your experience decide what is sensible on the day.
What warranty applies to the Bonafide XTR130, and how do you make a claim?
The Bonafide XTR130 hull carries a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects for the original retail customer, and components are covered for one year. Registration within 14 days of purchase activates coverage. Claims start with the dealer you bought from, which is us. Damage caused by ratchet straps or using a winch system to pull the kayak onto a trailer is excluded. Eligibility is decided under the Bonafide warranty terms.
