Native Slayer 14.5 jump test
If I'm not mistaken, someone on here has one. I think there was a thread a while back. Anybody have some experience in one of these?

I was deadset on getting the Slayer 12 for about a year, then I looked at the Jackson Cuda. I think that's my next one.
And yes, I think someone did a review of the new slayer on here.

I had a Slayer 12 briefly last year that I sold and bought a Slayer Propel, so while I never had the 14.5, I am very familiar with the layout and hull. (Propel is essentially the same as the 14, just modified a bit to fit the Propel drive)
They're good kayaks- meant to go toe-to-toe with the Jackson Cuda and the WS Ride135. I like the open compartments of the Slayer over its competitors closed hatches (I also had a Ride 135 at one point) Of course, you can easily stand in the Slayer and the whole boat is basically a rigger's dream- you can pretty much do anything to it.
As for this "test", it's great that the guy can jump up and down on his cooler, but it serves no practical purpose and shouldn't be a compelling reason to purchase a specific kayak. Honestly, I am more impressed by the people who walk to the bow of their kayaks and fish and pole while underway. . . that takes a good deal of balance and dexterity!
Hell, I think I could put a 6ft ladder on the deck of my Pro Angler 14 and pole the flats looking for reds! (uh oh. . . now I'm getting some ideas!

native makes great boats. I have two Manta Rays and a Magic.
Are those scupper plugs? Deck seems a bit low for scuppers, more canak-like, comparable to a WS Commander.

I have a friend that has one, he loves it. we both thought its a little slower than a WS ride 135 (which isnt the fastest boat either) but just as stable if not more so.
i love the wheel in the back for dragging, i need to replace the rubber dragging plate on my 135 probably after this summer, it's lasted about 1.5yrs of pretty heavy abuse as an fyi

Have you considered the Jackson Big Rig
The Old Towne Predator 13
or the Ocean Kayak Prowler Big Game 2
The Predator and Prolwer Big Game look awesome. The Big Game is more geared toward ocean/open water fishing while the Predator is intended for shallower water applications ideally. They seem to marry both the open concept with immediately available dry storage as well as some front hatches for longer term storage. Definitely worth looking into.
