The SS127 fishing kayak from Bonafide delivers the Ultimate Fishability™. It was designed by anglers, for anglers and is loaded with features you won't find anywhere else. The hybrid cat hull design provides maximum stability without sacrificing paddling performance. The SS127 features the incredibly comfortable HiRise™ seating system. The ultra-high seat allows you to sit with your knees bent, taking pressure off of your lower back. If you want to really dig in and cover some distance, the SeatRack™ and foldable seat frame allow quick and quiet conversion to a lower position. The SS127 provides enough stability that you can stand on the gunwales for a better vantage point while sight casting. Surprisingly, a boat this wide and stable still paddles efficiently with exceptional tracking. The Bonafide SS127 is truly an incredible fishing kayak.

Love this boat! Easy to stand and fish. Very maneuverable and
stable.
One major flaw: the seat!
I think kayak seat comfort is one of the most crucial parts of a
kayak. I'm 6' , 200lbs , 34" waist normal medium sized guy-not
big-not small. I found the seat to be uncomfortably narrow with
it's side bars cutting into my thighs after just a couple minutes of
sitting in the kayak. I tightened all of the webbing seat straps and
it made no difference. I also felt the seat sagging deep in the
middle, not flat support but sagging "U" shaped support. The seat
back and lumbar comfort was good. Overall the kayak has very
nice well thought out features for fishing. They need to redesign
the seat bottom asap and make it wider. Hobie and Native make
the most comfortable/supportive seats for all day comfort and are
miles ahead of all other manufacturers.
Really stable I am a small guy so using this kayak is like being on
small boat. I do wish the back end wasn't so blocky. When you stop
paddling the back end turns with the wind. I need a small paddle for
minor adjustments when stopped. Overall it's fast light enough to car
top and very stable.
Unfortunately I have not been able to use the kayak yet due to
the weather. Overall the kayak is a drastic improvement to my
Tarpon 120. It seems very well designed and well built. The only
problem I've had is that the bottom of the center dry pod is
extremely scraped from the factory. This did not occur from
shipping. I was able to repair a couple minor holes that did not
penetrate completely through the box. Even though it is still
usable I was slightly disappointed.
So glad I stepped up to purchasing the SS127. The combination of
stability and storage incorporated into its design is phenomenal. I
have a spinal problems that have always kept me from standing to
fish because of the constant balancing act, the SS127 allows me
to fish sitting or standing and changing between the two all day
without aggravating my back. Well done ' guys look forward to
options becoming available to to customize it.
Been out a couple times for a few hours. First off the kayak is light
compared to my last ATAK 140. Easy loading on my bed-
extender.It tracks about the same as a 14ft kayak. It glides better
than my ATAK. It maneuvers better than my 14ft kayak, maybe
because its 12.7in. Speed is ok. Stability, holy s#&t. Im 6' 240lb
and I stood right up. I leaned over and it felt like it was pushing
back. Great secondary. Dry pod, junk drawer, seat and general
layout is first class workmanship. I got the sand color. It is not just
solid color, it has very small black flexs in it. Looks sweet. My big
complaint is that the seat is too narrow, at least for me. Inside
dimension from frame is 16". After a couple hours it starts
bothering my hip. My ATAK never was a problem. Bonafide needs
to look into widening the seat.
Love this boat! Paddles well, the seat is unbelievable and stability is
crazy. I can stand with both feet on one side of the boat. The dry pod
is a awesome feature if you plan on adding a fish finder.
A:
The Malone MicroSport Kayak Trailer Kit - 2 Kayak Package 461GS would be a great fit for your SS127s. It already has two SeaWing carriers installed and is a solid setup.
Q:
Product is listed as 94 lbs, above is an answered question that wet (with seat is 75 lbs). I need to know weight of kayak without seat as I will be roof topping solo. Weight is of importance to me. Thanks in advance
A:
Hello, the weight without the seat comes to 85 pounds, the weight with the seat is 94 pounds, and the weight of just the hull is 70 pounds. I hope this helps, and if not feel free to contact us at our email for more details!
Q:
Wondering how much primary stability this Kayak has? Have heard its stability is almost all in secondary. I already own a Prowler BG 2 and this is an issue with it being very tippy in the attack position.I am 5'11 and 300lb
A:
The BG2 and the SS127 are going to be fairly similar in the primary stability field. The Bonafide will be a little bit better since it is more flat when compared to the BG2's slightly curved primary hull.
Q:
What is the actual height of the seat in the low and high positions (boat floor to sitting part of seat. How does this compare with the WS ATAK 120.
A:
Hey there, thanks for your question! The height off the floor to the seat on the Bonafide SS127 is about 9 inches, while the ATAK 120 has a height of about 8 inches off the floor to the seat. They're fairly comparable, but the ATAK 120 would give you high, medium, and low options, while the SS127 has a high and low.
Q:
Manufacturer's YOUTUBE vid says a rudder mount is possible and the existing foot pegs are retained. Do you have a rudder available for this new yak, and will you install it before shipping. If so, the cost? Thanx.
A:
I ran out and tried a few different options, and it looks like the Feelfree Lure Rudder Kit will work with the Bonafide. Unfortunately, we can not install a rudder on the Bonafides before shipping them. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
A:
I ran out there and held up the Harmony and Yak-Gear flush mount rod holders, and it does look like it will fit in that area. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Q:
Could you tell me about the affirm payments ? Is it a finance plan where after being approved and making the down payment I would receive the merchandise?
A:
You are correct, it is a finance plan. So you will place your order and sign up with Affirm. Once they approve you, we will ship out the kayak. Then once you receive the kayak, you will start making payments and accruing interest. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
