Yes, I’m the one who is selling it and still have it. There’s a couple people who have complained about issues with the Titan on the Native FB group. As with any new kayak on the market, there will be kinks to work out. Native has already addressed these issues and my boat has those upgrades (bull nose prop and rudder gasket). Shoot me an email at markmakerstd@gmail.com and we can talk more about it.

What kind?


I have seen a lot of issues with the Boondox accessories. Their rudder on the Titian putting to much stress on the cables causing them to stretch/break, and the landing gear causing hull cracks where it was mounted. I think that was only for the camo edition and was due to the consistency of mixing the colors. I have also seen a few posts about water pooling on the deck and stress cracks in the propel drive across all models.

Most of the "problem" posts on their get the most comments so they are more prevalent on my news feed over the ones that are complimentary of the boat. There are also MULTIPLE videos/comments/posts on fixes for these issues, I just wanted to throw that out there.

At least they have hands hands-free reverse, right?

Hayell yeah.

I am not really interested in the Titan series though. The Slayer 13 or Slayer LT(hate the colors) would probably be my next one unless Wildy gets their drive straitened out.

Have they been having issues? I haven't heard much from them?

And the Slayer LT definitely needs a face lift. I know they have to use two pieces since its thermoform but damn, it looks like a $2,700 Pelican kayak.

Just stuff I read early on. I don't know anyone with one.

Can that stuff be painted? Rhyno lined?

Nice reel. A lot of people seem to knock 13 because it isn't shimano, but I got a concept a3 earlier this year and love it so far. It's not "better" than a curado per se, but I've been very impressed

I do like the reels, but they can keep the rods.

My Omen broke on a routine hook set. No more for me.

My Falcon Coastal XG broke last weekend. Falcon said they'll replace it. I just have to pay for shipping.

I don't remember what 13 told me, but it was just sucky enough for me to just glue a new tip on and have a slightly shorter rod.
