$3,900.00
The Bonafide PWR 129 is a purpose-built, motor-ready fishing kayak designed for anglers who want serious electronics, forward-facing sonar and both bow- and stern-mount motors without drilling into the hull. With its ultra-stable platform, huge front hatch, PowerLink plates and refined deck layout, it feels like a compact electric bass boat that still launches, loads and fishes like a kayak.

🔧 Heavy-Duty Stern Mounting System
This reinforced stern plate is built for serious power setups. Bonafide designed the PWR 129 to handle stern motors, dual Power Poles, and heavy accessories without drilling into the hull.
Multiple mounting zones let you attach plates, brackets, and stabilisers with absolute confidence — perfect for anglers who want maximum customisation and future upgrade potential.
📏 Tournament-Ready Captain’s Bridge
This rigid crossbar is the ideal command centre for your electronics.
Attach dual fish finders, forward-facing sonar controls, cameras, or rod staging systems while keeping your deck organised and stable.
The PWR 129’s bridge system eliminates screen shake and gives you a clear, elevated view — exactly what advanced offshore anglers demand.
🧰 Central Rigging Pod Area (Dry Pod/Delete Plate Compatible)
Bonafide’s redesigned central pod area offers huge flexibility.
Use the dry pod for:
Side-scan and traditional transducers
Internal wiring
Small accessory storage
Or install the delete plate for a clean, open deck layout if you prefer reduced weight or simplified rigging.
Surrounded by high-traction deck pads, this zone keeps your feet stable and your workspace tidy.
📦 Oversized Side Plates for Electronics & Accessories
These long, flat side plates make rigging clean and professional.
They’re engineered for mounting items like:
Graph wiring pass-throughs
Switch panels
External battery ports
Power connectors and USB chargers
Everything bolts on securely without compromising the hull — giving you a true “rig it your way” platform.
High-Capacity Seating System
The HiRise seat is:
– Wider
– Higher
– Stronger
– Easier to stand from
And below it?
A “junk drawer” storage system that every angler falls in love with.
🌊 On-Water Performance
Despite being a big, feature-rich kayak, the PWR 129 still paddles surprisingly well when you want to keep things simple. The hull is tuned for:
High primary stability for confident standing
Predictable secondary stability in chop and boat wake
Quiet entry and smooth glide when you’re sneaking along banks or structure
Set up with a bow-mount motor, the PWR 129 becomes a precise spot-lock platform for vertical fishing, forward sonar scanning and offshore structure work. With a stern motor, it turns into a fast, comfortable travel kayak for long distances on big dams, estuaries and rivers.
