Guys. First the link those not work anymore so cant see the yak


But after years of fishing out of yaks.

The seating is very important, Nothing worst then buy a kayak and hate it after a full day sit in it because of the bad seat,

You can have a simple ok kayak but have a great seat and have. A great experience.

Dont be fool by the price,,or name of a yak. Some are over price and not comfortable.

The best is to try it yourself, everyone is deferent,,,body weight height,,etc etc.


Bying less expensive yak can be fun, I saw tons of guy fishing out of those pelican and catch lod of fish and monsters also.


But dont forget. USED kayaks. Out there, You can have a high quality kayak a bit jsed for the same price as those low quality ones, innthe pst years i have sold kayaks less then 50% off new price and had a lot more features or better seat and so on,,,,do look around for used or demo,
Ex tarpons,,frome wilderness have great seat and can be found used frome time to time,,,,,also look at bassrpo and cabelas,they have there own brand. Less expensive.

The most import thing. Is to enjoy time on water,!!!! Dont look at the name or make of the yaks,,,,just get what you can aford and are comfy in it and enjoy it, simple as that. Low cost those not meen not as good,,,not t all, First dont care lol haha,,,and less monney spent on a yak,,the more you got for the rest. And forget about the rest,,,paddles,,,,etc.



Many time those lower price yaks are lighter,,,,,nd this is great, As you upgrade many time you also bring up the weight,,,and then its harder to carry around etc, This is something that you have to think about, Cause i tell you a 80-90 pound kayak is not that fun to put on top of an suv,,,alone and wen windy.


Nad pls. Dont count a good canoe out,,,,canoes are very good for fishing and are more versatile,but have to get the good one for you....
Joco,,,,,,,

http://www.costcoweekender.com/2015/03/ ... 74452.html


Sure look like many highef end kayak, They simply took old model of big names.

Look good and do have nice features.

But the seat,,,not sure, But yes you can up grade,,,,,can put a simple gel car seat frome canadian tire it help a lot and its always in special.

Can get an oceans kayak seat,,,and retrofit to fit that yak.


Aain. A try out for few hours those help


Go to trailhead at there demo days,,its free. And try many yak.
