Yes, in his words, there's a reason why he rents out the X Boats and not other brands

I spoke with Joe earlier and mentioned the RTK bits; he said an option but had to be sent off and was around 950 iirc.

I'm fairly local to Bait Boat Solutions who would do the bits on the X Boat so think that's the way to go. Thanks!

I'm looking at purchasing my first boat and am a bit torn between going CL or X Boat with XR310 & Raymarine as recommended in here. Not much of a difference in cost between the two. Not a fan of the subscription activated features on the CL.

So long as the tension straps at either end are loosened, I've not had a problem. Just a bit of pressure and pull apart.

Try giving em a call mate, that's assuming they're in. I'm local to their warehouse and have called and subsequently visited a couple of times.

Hi TMUR,

I think the 1 Man may do you, I've not seen a 2-Man in the flesh but judging from the size of the 1-Man it must be humongous! I'd say that the 1-Man is more of a small 2-Man bivvy.

Comes down to how much space you want/need and how frequently it'll be used to fit in the pair of you. The 2-Man will definitely fit the pair of you but do you want to have a giant bivvy every time you go solo, I know I wouldn't.

Hope that helps mate.

This is my concern. Was about to pull the trigger on the Xtractor 9ft 2.75 but worried it's not going to have any bend in it when playing the smaller carp.

Anyone got the Xtractors 9ft 2.75's?

Yeah I'd you're having problems mate maybe just a dodgy one. Sure Fox or the tackle shop you bought from will sort.
