Looking for a kayak on a budget

[Cbad Mike]

NOT MINE BUT COULD BE A GOOD DEAL WITH EVERYTHING THAT COMES WITH IT AND A LITTLE NEGOTIATION.
FOUND ON SD CRAIGSLIST.


Cobra Navigator Kayak rigged for fishing - $550 (san marcos)

I have a cobra navigator kayak in good condition, water tight, and rigged for fishing. I used this kayak to go spearfishing and is very easy and stable to dive off of. I rigged it with a fish finder, bungees, and pole holders.

the kayak will come with 2 paddles, a life vest, the fish finder with battery, and a kayak cart.

Avoid scams, deal locally Beware wiring (e.g. Western Union), cashier checks, money orders, shipping.

I agree with the above and save for what you want. I had been wanting to get into this sport for almost 2 years. I knew what I wanted and didn't want to settle. It took for what seemed like forever, (every little bit of two years), but I was finally able to get what I wanted. Pricey, but well worth the wait. In the mean time, I float tubed, took cattle boats, hit the shore, etc. to get my fix. I put a picture of my dream kayak above my computer monitors in my cube to motivate me. Got the same one, brand new, even same color.

I couldn't agree more- I've been on this forum since 2009, reading and watching you guys catching bigger yellowtails, White Sea bass and halibut's than I've seen on most all of the boats I've been on. I wanted an x-factor when I seen a coworkers in San Diego but fell in love with the Stealth 12, just never had the money. Until last year I met up with Brett from Kayak Obsessions and got my first kayak, my stealth 12. Until I made that purchase I was pier fishing, surf fishing at Bolsa Chica, and jumping on the El Dorado as much as I could afford. Good luck in your kayak search...

Cobra?

Custom paint?

Don't jump in. Paddle a couple and save up a bit. Otherwise you will end up selling it and getting what you really wanted. If you see something on here you like, offer up something in trade as well. You never know.

Wish you would have been shopping a couple weeks ago.

You do have a good point..yea the paint thing is kinda strange but im going to check it out anyways its pretty close to where I live and 200 bucks is pretty much right up my alley...been aching bad to go out to perris lake and newport, its kind of a sanity thing at this point lol

I like that it comes with a depth finder/paddle/seat and some other accesories...i already have tons of fishing gear and also life jackets and a crate and pvc rod holders.

I was also putting into consideration that even if i decide to get a different kayak i have a friend that wants to get into it, i can either give it or sell it for very cheap to him so then i can have partner to go with.

But all in all im going to take a look at it ...if it seems to be kind of a junker then I will pass and save up.

I really appreciate all the feed back from you all!

Hey for $200 it's worth taking a look at. Just make sure it isn't cracking and showing signs of sun damage. The last thing you want to do is throw $200 away that could go towards a nicer yak.

There may be a reason it is painted. Might be hiding something. If your gonna buy it have the guy fill it with water half way to make sure she's water tight.

Yea make sure it isn't painted with Flex Seal
