Need a good deal on a Yak or 2.

[jrisen]

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!

yea that was me. but that was on a demo day at The Backpacker. they do demo days pretty regular though. they have a baton rouge store and a lafayette store. the 120 is what I bought as well

[jrisen]

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.

[FF_T_Warren]

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

I have an ocean kayak scupper pro and a wilderness systems tarpon 130t for sale.

You can read reviews on most kayaks at paddling.net

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

Where you located in Lafayette? Or, post a thread with pics? I may be interested in one or both

[SaltyShaw]

Hey Dink my cousin might be selling a Native Manta Ray 14 rigged out

[Dink]

That's what I like to hear!! The rigging will nickel and dime ya to death!!!

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.

[jrisen]

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

[SaltyShaw]

He is wanting 850 for it I'll get all the extras and some pics posted up in the classifieds tomorrow
