The Bonafide RS117 takes the Hybrid Cat hull from Bonafide’s premium SS series and puts it on a $999 paddle kayak. You get the same catamaran-style stability that made the SS127 famous — a 33.5-inch beam you can stand on with confidence — plus a 425-pound capacity and Bonafide’s comfortable Stadium Seat.
What you give up versus the SS series: the pedal drive option, some premium trim, and a few pounds. What you keep: the stability, the fishability, and about half the price tag. This is the working man’s Bonafide.
