[QUOTE="richg99, post: 454756, member: 4376"] While I agree with many things that Dale said, I think his prices are too low. A decent light weight paddle (very important for distance and speed) could easily add $150.00 ( up to $600.00 or so if you want to get crazy). I've owned five Sit On Top kayaks. One thing that is often overlooked is the size/weight/floatation ratings of the yak...as compared to the size/weight etc. of the paddler. Don't begin to believe the ratings that the sellers put on a yak. If you are fishing out of them, consider a 2/3rds of the stated rating as minimal for your use. i.e a 300 lb rated kayak, IMHO, would easily support a 200 lb. guy and some tackle. It won't, safely, support a 260 lb guy. DO NOT ask how I know this! Add an anchor trolley; consider buying an inexpensive drift chute..and have fun. rich [/QUOTE]
