Re: Kayak Help
It's awfully difficult to study all the ads and come to a really good decision.they're all trying to seem you something. I haven't yet read "try before you buy" but it's coming I'm sure. I have owned 5 different kayaks over the last 15 years and found them all to be compromises. Dan has probably spent more time in the water in a kayak than anyone here and he even catches fish. The Tarpon 120 is a fine compromise for most bodies of water. I'm not anxious to stand in it but is maneuverable enough for rivers and fast enough for bigger bodie of water. I have a Frontier 10 from Nu Canoe. It's easy to stand but too wide for anything but slow moving rivers. It's an absolute pig to paddle so I have a motor on itYou also have to take into account how your going to transport it. The Hobie PA weighs about 125 ponds. If you're vertically challenged putting it on the roof of most SUV's is not the most fUn you'll have standing up.
Demo's will be available from some of the retailers soon. If you don' like whatever it is you can probably sell it in the Spring for what you pay for it now. Check out the Kayak Fishing store for theIr's.
