I agree. I like the nucanoe but something about sitting in one didn’t feel comfortable. I originally considered the old town big water 132 but much prefer the propel drive in the bonafide and native.

I appreciate all the feedback. Both kayaks are motor capable. No current intention on adding one but always nice to have the option. I ruled out the wilderness systems kayaks just because the pedal drive itself. And the hobie due too no instant reverse and the price. The pivot seat on the native might give it a bit of an edge. It may come down to availability in my area. Right now I can get the bonafide in the color I want but the slayer is not available until June. I’m not really in a big hurry though. Still not sure.

I have been kayak fishing out of a Bonafide RS117 for a few years and love it. However, I want to add a Pedal kayak to use on larger water and in windy conditions. I'm tore between the Bonafide P127 and the Native Salyer max 12.5. I know they both use the same pedal drive and are close to the same size, weight, and price. however, I haven't seen and direct comparison posts or videos on the two and don't have a dealer within 4 hours of me that has both to be able to look at side by side. Any thoughts and opinions would help. Thank you.
