Fishing Kayaks · ICAST First Look
The Bonafide XTR140P stretches the bass-boat-style XTR platform to 14 feet, adds an optional stowable pedal drive, and preserves the open deck and tandem flexibility that made the XTR130 stand out.

The Bonafide XTR140P is a 14-foot fishing platform built for anglers who do not want to commit to one propulsion method. It can be configured around the optional xRange pedal drive, a stern motor, a bow motor, or a combination that keeps pedals available as quiet propulsion and backup power. It can also carry a second seat, turning the same open deck into a tandem fishing platform.
The result is closer to a compact bass boat than a lightweight kayak. That is both its greatest strength and its clearest limitation. The XTR140P offers substantial stability, deck space, rigging access, and a published 725-pound capacity, but the fully rigged boat weighs 185 pounds before the owner adds batteries, motors, electronics, and tackle.

What the “P” adds to the XTR platform
The XTR130 established the wide, walkable, motor-friendly layout. The XTR140P extends that idea by roughly a foot and adds the xRange pedal-drive architecture. The drive can be deployed in seconds, stowed on deck, stored at the stern for transport, or removed entirely when the boat is used as a pure motor platform.
That flexibility matters more than the novelty of having pedals. Anglers can pedal quietly while approaching fish, keep a rod in hand while repositioning, or use the drive as a get-home option if a motor system fails. A hand control near the seat steers the pedal drive, and the integrated SpringBlade rudder supports the larger propulsion plan.
A deck designed for standing and moving
The XTR140P provides a 24-by-80-inch open floor plus a 22-by-33-inch upper standing platform. High freeboard and forward volume are intended for rougher open-water conditions, while drainage channels around the raised bow hatch help shed water before it can reach storage.
The upper deck also gives sight-fishing anglers a higher vantage point without requiring an aftermarket perch. The open cockpit provides room to change positions, manage tackle, and move around the boat while fishing.
Motor and electronics rigging
Molded bow inserts and Power Link locations at the bow, midship, and stern simplify wire routing for motors and electronics. The ICAST display paired the boat with a Newport NK300, a three-horsepower-equivalent 36-volt motor, and a low-profile battery. That is an example rig rather than a required package: owners can choose another compatible motor and battery setup.
Midship grab rails double as accessory track and can support sonar, lighting controls, measuring boards, and rod storage. Transducers can be mounted at the midship scupper or stern, while display mounts can live on the side rail or forward deck.
Rigging reminder: Confirm motor compatibility, battery voltage, wiring, fuse or breaker requirements, weight distribution, and local registration rules before installing powered propulsion.
Seat travel and tandem conversion
The Pivot Pro swivel seat rides on a 42-inch track, allowing the solo paddler to tune weight distribution or move the primary seat to make room for a second angler. Molded locations accept an additional seat bracket.
For a parent, guide, or angler who sometimes fishes with a partner, that adaptability can replace the need to own separate solo and tandem kayaks. The substantial capacity also leaves room for propulsion equipment, batteries, electronics, and fishing gear.
XTR140P versus XTR130
Choose the XTR140P
Choose the XTR140P for the factory pedal-drive option, 14-foot hull, larger capacity, open-water emphasis, and maximum tandem and motor flexibility.
Choose the XTR130
Choose the XTR130 if you want the XTR layout in a slightly shorter, less expensive platform and do not need the integrated xRange pedal system.
Plan transportation first. Either boat is substantial, but the XTR140P’s 170-pound fitted hull strongly favors a trailer, powered cart, or repeatable two-person loading method.
Who is the Bonafide XTR140P for?
- Big-water anglers who prioritize stability, freeboard, and capacity over easy rooftop loading.
- Motor-focused anglers who still want quiet pedal propulsion and a backup way home.
- Parents, guides, or partners who want a configurable solo-and-tandem fishing platform.
- Electronics-heavy anglers who need multiple graph, transducer, battery, and wiring locations.

First-look verdict
The XTR140P succeeds by refusing to force a propulsion choice. Pedal, bow-motor, stern-motor, solo, and tandem configurations all fit the same hull, while the open floor and upper deck preserve the stand-up fishability buyers expect from the XTR line.
The penalty is weight: this is a trailer-minded platform for most people. If transportation is already solved, however, the XTR140P is one of the more complete multi-propulsion fishing-kayak concepts introduced for 2026.
