There is a 12ft native manta ray for sale on LKFC. Save your gift card for all the stuff you need for fishing out of kayak...

I just called the guy and its 500, he added the scotty mount and anchor trolly. he bought it in july of last year and then bought another one soon after so he is trying to make some room and said nothing is wrong with it.

does this sound like a good deal and should i jump on it?

I have never been on one...seems like a good price though

ask the fella if he will let u try it out!

I'll be meeting up with him on friday to take a look at it and maybe try it out.

I will say that is just about exactly what i was looking for, as far as color and the fact that it has a few extras already.

I'll most likely be a kayak owner on friday. Can you carry a 12ft kayak in the bed of a truck(4 door chevy) without a any problems?

my dad does it all the time ! no problem

i have no problem doing it.

you can always get the bed extender from harbour freight for like 30 bucks

hunting is relatively easy out of a kayak... as long as you keep paddle movements to a minimum and don't lose your balance when you lift up to shoot... other than that just make sure the weight of the shell bag and gun and other stuff is evenly distributed... but thats a given...

sounds like a great deal,,,,see if he will throw in a paddle,,,lol,,,

Thanks guys for all the help.

When and if i do buy it and the weather gets better(warmer) we should get together and so some fishing.

Yea. We will def get together

If i didnt have to use my vacation for when my wife has our first baby i would be fishing in the tournament.......maybe something will come up and i can use my other week of vacation to fish in the tourny.

The members who own trucks put up to 14' kayaks in their bed. 2 kayaks usually fit as well. You'll just need to figure out strapping it down in the bed but that shouldn't be any problem with tie downs/ropes/bungies. I own the manta ray. You are welcome to take it out on Friday and test it out. There is a launch in the Vermilion River down from my house or you can head to lake martin with it. I don't have a paddle to spare though. I can throw in a stake out pole anchor.

what size paddle do yall use?
