As you'll see in the video below, there are a lot of thoughtful upgrades in the Ultimate FX 12, including the improved adjustable seat, more attachment points, and a bungee reinforced anchor trolley that comes standard with the boat. This kayak looks incredibly stable and appears to have a nice wide deck for those that may want to stand up to paddle and/or cast. Plus the boat weighs almost 20 pounds less than my Native Slayer 12...

At 57 lbs. this one looks like a great solo boat. If I could buy two kayaks, I'm betting my one-seater would be this one...saw it in person when we visited the factory/offices last spring - at least I think we saw this one - and some new protoype boats they still haven't released yet. I really like their boats.Not a big fan of having to move the seat to get to your cooler - but then, no boat is perfect. I really like the cross-bars for mounting stuff, too. Nice boat.
