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

Ok so just got back from my first yak fishing experience , I had a blast paddledfor 7 hours and im not even feeling it (probably tomorrow lol)

Heres some pictures ...Before Perris , during and after hehe.....got skunked today ....fish werent shallow and I havent purchased a battery for my sonar yet so I was a bit blind ....one guy did tell me he caught a 10.2 hog trolling.

Anyways was mostly out trying the yak, worked out great for me ...ofcourse want something bigger nicer in the future but this will be my project for now , i have alot of plans for it ...repaint(properly), sonar... ect ect

side note.....also learned that my ass does not like being wet ....waders please .....also cant wait to take it out to newport ...now THATS going to be exciting...havent fished there in years!
