Since the release of their original canoe/kayak hybrid, the Ultimate, in 2005, Native Watercraft has been at the forefront of innovative design and technology in the kayak fishing field. In 2009 they introduced the first propeller drive to the kayak market—a groundbreaking system that allowed the operator to reverse. With the release of their newest vessel, the TitanX Propel, Native continues to provide anglers with versatile, stable and innovative fishing platforms that are jam-packed with features.

Electronics and Storage

The Native TitanX Propel 12.5 is highlighted by its compatibility with electronics, using “PowerLinks” throughout the boat for connection to trolling motors, GPS, fish finders and more. Two battery compartments located in the bow and the stern—directly behind the PivotPro swivel seat—maximize deck space and are easily accessible if adjustments are needed on the water. Seamlessly turn in the PivotPro seat—which rotates 360 degrees and features an under-seat tackle storage drawer—to access additional gear from the rear storage platform when you’re out on the water.

The bow boasts dual accessory mounts—one located atop the hull transducer and battery storage hatch, and another on the Propel Pedal Drive 701 Series—to keep electronics within arms reach. Rod storage is equally accessible; two integrated rod rests run the length of the boat, a forward-facing rod holder is situated next to the seat, and two rear-oriented flush mount rod holders allow for quick switches between different setups.

Tracking

On top of improved rod and tackle storage and easily accessible electronics mounts and connection points, the Native TitanX Propel is designed to make travel from point A to point B quick and worry-free. The new Propel Pedal Drive 701 Series features extremely rigid and durable marine-grade anodized aluminum construction with a 10:1 gear ratio to generate fast, powerful propulsion that can withstand run-ins with hard or soft structure. A submerged, integrated weed guard works in conjunction with the non-slip pedals to create unobstructed pedaling action that leads to a smooth, stable ride with minimal interference.

Additionally, the TitanX’s springblade rudder system makes this heavy-duty fishing platform easy to maneuver in rough conditions or skinny water. The rudder handle is both easy to reach and easy to turn from the seat, which is conducive to making quick changes in direction. Depending on depth and conditions, anglers also have the option to retract or release the rudder, which creates improved tracking when deployed in heavy chop and protects the rudder from damage in shallow-water applications.

In addition to the TitanX’s improved speed, tracking ability and turning radius, it features bow and stern motor mounts that are specifically compatible with the MotorGuide Xi3 to get you from point A to point B even faster.

Stability

At 12 feet 8 inches long and 40 inches wide, the TitanX Propel is a sturdy, spacious platform equally equipped for stand-up casting and sight-fishing on flats, or tracking through choppy, open waters for a bottom fishing adventure.

On top of its stable construction, the non-slip deck padding minimizes the likelihood of incidents on the water, making stand-up fishing possible even in rough water with a coating of fish slime on the deck.
