Cheap compared to what other brands? I've only kayaked in the bay and surf around Port Aransas and a sit inside kayak would suck ass for that I think. I havent relaly messed around with any others, the two Oceans my mom have worked for casual fishing.Originally Posted by BroncoJo

perception, malibu, hobie, wilderness systems....
Nothing I like more than outfishing those high dollar ****ers in my 400 dollar setup.

I just watched a spider dominate a fly on the wall outside, i thought would would travis do? and i did the opposite, spider lives!
think any of them bought their boat thinking it would help them catch more fish?

this is what I got. mine is older and not a fold up though. It has a wood frame w/ some kind of vinyl stretched over it. What I like about these type of kayaks is that they are effortless to paddle, can carry a crap load of gear, and are super stable and will keep you dry. the only negative is mine is heavy and the bottom doesn't like sharp rocks.
damn, thats almost $1000

i have 2 of the 14' wilderness system fishing kayaks
... my dad gets dealer prices on everything

those are white water kayaks...I think jimmy wants more of a touring/fishing kayak
those kayaks are real unstable aren't they? and they track like **** so they can turn on a dime in white water. I think they are a PITA on any kind of flat water where actual paddling is required. they are more of a sit and let the current guide you along type deal and then paddle to redirect change directions.

Blue boat came with plans to build a cheap and easy glass over plywood canoe.
I thought about that, then thought it sounded heavier than an alumimum one.
Boats and hoes

With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
I know just what I'm lookin for
Thunderbird will do just fine.
here's what mine looks like. I bought mine for $150 from a friend of mine at a fly fishing swap meet.
Mine has a red hull and yellow top. My Dad has one also. He built his from a kit. Mine was already built. You can find them every once in a while. Check Austin Craig's List...lots of tree huggers that are into that kind of thing plus Lake Travis is always crammed w/ these kind of boats.
You are more than welcome to try it out to see if you like it.
We used to have a canoe but it was fiberglass and sat in our backyard for 20 yrs flipped over on saw horses. My dad had an aluminum before that but he almost died on a river one time when it got sideways in a rapid and the canoe folded in half around a rock. Good story.
Karl's uncle has a pink canoe, its a story of expiramental surgeries and one man's strife to become a woman, but i've probably divulged too much private family history already.
I thought this was a cool old pic. I use to have a willy's like this.
