Oh for sure

We are small knit enough that it's pretty safe, but that also lends itself to scarcity. Shopping around craigslist and OfferUp tho, buyer beware of the scoundrels.

I will have two kayaks for sale soon.
Lots of extras, just add water.

2015 Hobie outback. Not sure on year; 14 foot Malibu X factor. Both hardly used. I bought them used myself.

Even will have a Thule Halavator roof rack for sale.

If you buy a new and decide there are issues with using them (not necessarily the kayak itself), then you are out of a lot of money.
However, used one is cheap enough that you can invest the difference toward a new one later when you know for sure it will be a long term passion.
