Bonafide SS107

Bonafide SS107 is a compact American fishing kayak, built on the Ultimate Fishability principle. The 323 cm hull fits a short trailer or the roof of one car, and the 88 cm beam gives enough stability to stand confidently on the deck. Good for small lakes, rivers and narrow waters where a long kayak becomes a burden.

Why choose the Bonafide SS107

✓ 323 cm length: easy to transport, store and carry to the water alone

✓ 88 cm width: stability you'd normally have to look for in much longer kayaks

✓ HiRise seat: adjustable height, less strain on the back over a long day

✓ SeatRack frame: the seat can be lowered to a low paddling position for rough water

✓ YakAttack GearTrac tracks: fish finders, rod holders and other accessories mount without drilling

✓ 193 kg capacity: enough for the angler and a full set of gear

✓ Rotomoulded polyethylene: the hull shrugs off hits on rocks and concrete quays

✓ Made in the USA: the same SS series factory as the larger models

Stability in a short hull

The SS107's 88 cm beam gives both primary and secondary stability. Primary means the kayak doesn't wobble when you shift your weight while casting. Secondary means that when it tilts, it stops instead of tipping further. That is what lets you stand and fish without tension. At the same time, the 323 cm hull keeps decent glide, so you get to the fishing spot without a struggle.

HiRise seat and two positions

The HiRise seat lifts the angler above the deck, so you see the water better and your lower back works less. When you need to paddle a longer distance or the water starts to chop up, the seat drops down the SeatRack frame to a low position, the centre of gravity goes down and the kayak feels calmer.

GearTrac tracks and storage

The integrated YakAttack GearTrac tracks let you mount a fish finder bracket, rod holders or a navigation device and move them to another spot at any time. No drilling the hull, and you change the setup depending on whether you are spinning or spending the day with a float rod. The tank well at the rear with a bungee cord takes a fishing crate.

Who is the Bonafide SS107 for?

✓ For anglers who fish small lakes, rivers and narrow waters

✓ For those who need a kayak one person can lift and carry

✓ For those who want stand-up fishing but have no room for a 4 metre kayak

✓ For anglers who will build up the kayak with accessories over time via the GearTrac tracks

Isn't the SS107 too short for serious fishing?

A shorter hull loses a little speed over long distances, but wins where it matters more: turning in a narrow river, transport and stability when standing. The 193 kg capacity means an angler with a full set of gear fits without compromise. If you paddle open lakes over long distances, look at the longer SS127.

The Bonafide SS107 is the kayak that refuses the standard trade-off between size and capability. A short hull with the features of a big kayak.
