I was wondering the same thing. According to their specs they look exactly the same (Elkton & Vibe). Possibly made by the same company? If anyone has any information please share.

So I just picked up a Maverick on Friday and took it out for the first time on Saturday. I’ll start by saying I love everything about it. However, I had one issue. Within the first hour of paddling down the river, the plastic deck began to bubble and separate from the injected foam. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Or is it just a case of getting a lemon?

I’m having the same issue. It started as a small bubble abou 6 inches on the front starboard side but has now moved all the way up to the yack bar in the middle of the hull. I emailed Vibe and theu haf me put in a warranty claim. But other than that its an awesome boat. I get comments on it everytime I take it out.

i ordered two, one for myself and one for my wife or son, I got one 2018 closeout model and one 2019 model, got them in 4 days. The 2019 has WAYYYY better handles, so much im mad there not on mine, but storage unit has a spin lock lid that completely detaches which I do not like.

You can buy the handles from Vibe. They are not that expensive and come with all the hardware needed to swap out.

I am going to purchase 2 of these for me and the family, but I have to figure out how or where to store it. Can someone provide me the thickness I might be able to squeeze em between my ceiling and not hit the garage door? Thanks for the help

Is it possible to put a kaku voodoo seat on the Maverick?

As long as the dimensions of the seat are within the width of the Maverick, then the seat should fit.

I am a big fan of Vibe products. I have their 13 ft seaghost kayak and couldn’t be any more satisfied with it.

Good info Tony! What about the seat? Does the Vibe come with it or is it pretty much a standardized seat that fits the rails?
Thanks

Hey tony, I’m looking to upgrade from my kayak to a paddle board soon. I have not been out on a paddle board yet but I stand on my kayak and fish all the time. Just based off of specs I’m considering a vibe maverick or Kaku Kahuna. Would you recommend one over the other. I mainly fish skinny water flats with the occasion canal, when it’s colder.

Thanks for the reply. I actually messaged the owner of kaku to see if I can demo one and there’s a vibe dealer not far from me. I really like the idea of the foam injected being more quiet. I’ve been seeing so many nice fish on the water lately and it seems by the time I’m within casting distance, they already know I’m there. I have an eagle talon 120 from dicks and it’s an ok kayak but it’s not the most quiet or stable thing out there. Thanks again for the input.

Where is the Vibe dealer? I’m in Orlando area. Want to test one before purchase. Thanks

I’m buying one…either this one or a Kaku, which do you like better? The idea of 2 seats and taking my daughter with but still being able to go out on my own easily as well is too much to pass up. I’ve got to have one…

Seems fair. One thing I hate, is when a manufacturer doesn’t list a price on their site and neither do the dealers. Kaku doesn’t appear to be selling the kahuna anymore, they are on to the Voodoo now…but no idea what it costs. Vibe is selling the 2019 model Maverick for 80 bucks more with either type of seat. I think buying it with a seat and adding the other for my daughter is going to be the Bee’s Knees. Thanks for the info Tony, you’ve become my goto opinion on pretty much everything saltwater fishing these days.
