Thanks guys! Unfortunately my budget is well under $500 , so I am looking for something cheap just to get in one for now!
Chris your welcome with us guys anytime.John boat or Yak.I have 3 Yaks your welcome to use one.
just look at Chez! NOT FUNNY ,,,BEACH BALL BELLY
If your a big guy you need a little body room.. just look at Chez!
That is a good deal SPIDER..RUTNUT should HOP on that.....Maybe sell his prize winnings from the ice tournament and buy the YAK.
Rutt is tall, not much fat unless he's been hittin the second helpings, but he is a big guy. Don't think cheap. You will regret it. Get a good deal and don't turn your nose up at used. Some of these nicer kayaks are bought buy guys that try them once and decide to stick to the couch. A couple years later they need the garage space. Do you need to have a sit on top or would you be happy with a sit inside like Chez and cowdawg got. They tend to be less expensive because there is less plastic and they don't tend to put as many gadgets on them. Get a longer one so you'll be comfortable but wide also because you will be using it for fishing more than cruising. I just took a quick look, there's a 12' Future beach trophy 144 with 2 paddles, flush mount pole holders and a scotty holder and a launch permit that's good until 2018 for $375 in Tamaqua. That's a very good deal. I don't know what make of paddles the guy has but they can get pricy and you can figure they would be $100-$300 unless they are really cheap. They guy has 2 so I'm figuring he got a cheap one and then spent the cash for a better one... I'm guessing.
LMBO!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking that probably won't ever happen. I offered to meet him any day, any time, any place to pick up my prize(as HE suggested on his site) and he refuses to meet me face to face. Not surprised though.......................................I figured he wouldn't have the stones for it!
Well, the last time I saw Chez, he was a...............................LEAN, MEAN, FISHING MACHINE!
