DID YOU - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

After going through a Mini-X then a Malibu Pro Explorer and spending almost 6 months debating on the pros and cons of a HOBIE (and much input from Andy) and testing a Revo at OEX SSB to get an idea of the "mirage drive", in March 2013 I "pulled the trigger" and ordered my Outback from Andy. For a couple weeks afterwards I would call Andy for advice every few days to add additional items installed which he happily performed.

Due to the distance from my residence and the limitation of driving time set by my Dr. necessary due to my multiple back injuries, it took me until the end of April (a month after Andy had finished) for me to pick it up. But he understood and showed great patience until I was feeling well enough to drive down and pick it up!
When I picked it up I was not disappointed, the many installations were flawless and clean!

I do not hesitate to recommend him and OEX to anyone looking for a Kayak to try out or buy, installations/repairs, or accessories to buy. If I decide to upgrade to the newer Outback with the upgraded seat or any other Kayak Manufacturer I will buy it from Andy at OEX SSB!
Although there are at least 3 other retailers closer to me (one within 10 miles of my residence), IMO there is no other option as far as I'm concerned. In addition OEX sponsors this site which I have found to be a great source of amusement, information and friendship.

A my condition improves I look forward to meeting many of the members (especially the comedians) of this site!
