Any good deals going on anywhere for kayaks? Possibly buying two for the family and want to get the best bang for the buck. Been looking at WS Tarpon 120's. I read sometime ago someone found a store that offered $100 in accessories with the purchase of a kayak.

Thanks for the input!

Are you happy with the 120? Seems like the best all around kayak. I'll be fishing in mine sometimes but we'll also use them for leisure as a family.

yea I like mine. I rigged it out for fishing but I havent even fished out of it yet. but I do really like it. It seems alot more well built that most brands. the hatches are alot sturdier and its a comfortable ride

If you are buying 2 i would go this route, Perception Pescador 12 its the same mold as the older model Tarpon 120's. Read nothing but good things on them and you cant beat $500 bucks

I live around academy. The scupper pro is on craigslist now for $750 but negotiable. I was going to keep the 130T for my boys but it's looking like I'll have to buy a motor boat before they will come fishing. Ill post some pics tonight. It was well used as a rental for Austin canoe and kayak. Has a scupper repaired by them and is watertight. I'd take around $500 for it.

All pirices negotiable and I'm sure we could work out something better if you wanted both.

Salty, any idea how much he's wanting for the Native. I'd be interested if Dink passes on it.
