X2 vs X thermal

[JohnMickish]

You guys that have either a X2 or X thermal, do you wish that you would have purchased the other one or are you happy with the one you have. The wife gave me the go ahead to get one and I'm having a hard time deciding which one to get. Can someone give me a good reason why the X therm is not build on the same tub as the X2 or why they won't traplink together?

[Ya Hey Der]

Lucky you! So, how did you guys end up on LOW?

When you are spending that much money I'd say the thermal is worth the extra couple hundred bucks.

I have the X2 and if the sun is shining it is hot inside, but after dark I do like to run the big buddy heater, I guess I am getting soft, with all these modern comforts... My question is that if you did run a heater in the thermal type, the material should breathe less then the x2 would, so would more moisture build up inside or not?

The thermal doesn't have the heavy duty tub and i think that is a great feature.

I have the X2 and don't have any complaints!

Can you fit and auger in the x2 slanted tub, i have not tried as I haul my auger on my wheeler front rack?

[ozzie]

yes the auger fits fine....at least my s.m. lazer does

They do link together just fine. You need to use the link for a voyager instead of the yukon.

I could not tell you about the auger fitting because I have mine on the rack of the wheeler also. I spoke with Dave Genz about the old style tub on the x thermal and he said they did it because it has more room on the inside. Personally, the heavy duty sled was one of the main reasons why I bought my X2.

The old style tub allows more room to move the seats...but i love the heavy duty tub as well!

I hsve not fished in a X2 before, but I have the Thermal and I am glad that I bought it. When it's cold outside my buddy heater on high keeps it nice an toasty inside. I have no complaints about the Thermal. Either house would be a good buy.

[JohnMickish]

I'm pretty sure I'll end up with the thermal since my wife would be more comfortable in it but I wish it had the X2 tub and extra 2".

[tisosy11]

By the X2 - it doesn't get that cold and the tub is almost solely worth it!

[JohnMickish]

So what does the X2 offer that the thermal dosen't, other than 2" in width and length? I understand the tub is thicker and has more slope to it but I have been told that the thermal actually has more storage space because the end isn't as sloped.

[anyfishwilldo]

The thermal DOES have more storage space than the X2. Another benifit is the thermal has more room between the seats. My only knock on the thermal is the sled. My X2 is always behind the 4 wheeler and I like the thicker tub. The X2 also has more ribs on the bottom for hyfax. It has 6 I believe as opposed to the thermals 2 ribs. The thermal uses the Voyager tub. I put a couple of holes in the tub on my Yukon and that is what made me pull the trigger on the X2. If they offered the thermal with the good tub, I would really think about upgrading again but until that happens I really like the X2.

Does anyone know where they have the X2 on sale at?

I was going debating between x2 x thermal and the r2tec. The price and size along with quality is why i'm going with the x2.

Check Reed's in Walker. They might have the X2 still on sale.
