We have several small lakes around here. Some rivers that are good for exploring.
So flatwater then. Sit on top, or sit in? Recreational, touring, or sea kayak? Sit on top, or sit in? That would be your next decisions. I like sit on tops, for shallow water explorations...in the sound down at OBX. And for surfing of course. But for longer trips, and lakes and water I don't really want to get out in, put me in a sit-in. This is the one I use for our day trips...it is so stable you just wouldn't believe it. My BF's is a bit longer.

$3500!!!??!! That's ridiculous. Actually, once you have an idea of how you want to use it (whitewater, flatwater, surf, fishing, etc.) check out craigslist. You can get insane deals on them there.
I buy just about everything, used.
I have 4 boats. I don't have enuff time to enjoy a motorized kayak, too.
Now it just got complex. More to consider. gives us more to think about. Thank you!
Sorry! I was hoping to make it simpler - not more complex!!
On a different note...my son's thumb is NOT broken. Yay! Had it x-rayed tonight. Nothing broke. It will just take a while to recover.
Also, I tried to start my gas blower this afternoon, knowing full well that it wasn't going to start because yes, once again, I didn't empty out the gas last fall. (I've never understood how I'm supposed to know when I'm done with it, until I find I've not used it for a month. ) Anyway, I poured out the old gas, bought some fresh gas, stabilizer, and carb cleaner. Sprayed everything good, let it dry, added the new gas, and son-of-a-gun it started right up. I thought sure I was going to have to put the stupid thing in the shop. I am so pleased!
It's the little things, yanno?
