The BIGGEST Kayak XTR130 vs. Jon Boat: The Ultimate Showdown!

- Опубликовано: 18 янв 2025
- We get it. The XTR130 is big, bold, and seriously blurring the lines between a kayak and a jon boat. Motorized, electrified, and packed with features-some of you are asking, “Why not just buy a jon boat?”
Well, challenge accepted. We're taking the XTR130, outfitting it on a budget to mimic a classic jon boat, and then heading straight to the swamp. Oh, and because we’re feeling extra spicy, we’re throwing our lead designer in a jon boat for a good ol’ head-to-head.
Will the XTR130 prove it’s in a league of its own? Or will the jon boat hold its ground? (Spoiler alert: we’re a little biased, but this one’s worth the watch.) Grab your popcorn, and let’s settle this debate once and for all!

I am a kayak owner and that’s a pretty one sided comparison. I actually own both a jon boat and a kayak. Both have their benefits. The jon boat is tougher and faster with the 9.5hp that I have on it. I have just as much storage if not more than that kayak. It wasn’t prebuilt but it’s there now and it works great. As far as stability, if you try to stand on the side of the kayak it won’t be stable either. I have a kaku Zulu and I love it.
Hans rockin the KAS hat!
But it’s not the biggest kayak on the market lol. Great vid as always
Bonafide needs to make trailer and offer it in the package
What about weight capacity? Also a crate will solve the storage issues.
If anything the xtr did appear more stable when moving on it.
Weight Capacity is 730lbs! Bring your friends!
I really like that yak but that transducer mount is stupid and I bet most people will agree.
What pants and shoes are you wearing so your feet don’t get wet when launching??
These are the questions that need answers......
Whoever thought all the cutaways were a good idea, you were wrong.
What cutaways are you referring to?
What PDF is Tyler wearing?

@ thanks!
That same John boat i can buy a $300 yak killer kit turn it into a bass boat and look way better that that kayak boat
What’s the deal, I thought you were with Native.
They are the same company. BIG Adventures is the mother brand over Native, Bonafide, Liquid Logic and Hurricane.
@ didn’t know that, thanks!
Yea just find the crappiest jon boat you can, don’t prepare it at all, and compare it to a brand new platform lol a regular 1436 Jon boat is far more stable than what you’re acting like..this is like making a video saying electric cars are better and having a brand new Tesla comparing it to a 1990 Honda civic lmao
literally disclosed this in the video 5:04
@@jamesg1425 weight capacity of the 1236 is 480lbs. The capacity on the XTR is 730lbs.
@ that’s fair
