sit on top
Got my sit in sold, currently in the market for a SOT. Can't spend over $400. If anyone has something they want to get rid of let me know. Did'nt have a chance to get down to OEX for the demo days because of a busy work schedule this weekend (i work for a catering company and customers book last minute) but tried my hardest. thanks for any input.

Those are actually a good deal when you take into account it's pretty much everything needed to launch and use immediately.

You might want to contact this guy and see if he still has the Blue mini X. This is the fish and dive model which means it has hatches to store things and comes with seat and Paddle. This is better than the recreational model, other wise OEX has last years model and not blems for $433.00. Good luck http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/spo/4367479189.html

How big of a guy are you? I have an older wilderness systems tarpon 120 (2004-6?) that my wife doesn't paddle anymore. There is nothing wrong with it, I just wouldn't recommend it for anyone over 250lb or taller than 5'10". If your interested let me know I'll give you a killer deal.

Don't ask about extras, at that price that kayak is a steal! You can always pick up a paddle and seat for $100 if you start asking around, which brings you still under budget with a badass ride.

I totally agree don't be greedy. $250 is a steal. From the picture it looks like the wilderness system seat is on the boat. Save your money and get a good paddle though not a real cheap one.

The seat is attached to the boat with a new hotseat bottom pad & new backrest pad. You will need a paddle and rodholders.

Jump on this deal it's better than you could have hoped for. You can always upgrade seat and add accessories later. Tight Lines

250 is ridiculously good. I have so many kayaks that YakMedic actually has a few of mine for me and I would consider this boat at that price.
And I bet it you step over to see Andy while in the area he will give you a deal on a paddle. Then your all set! |

That tarpon 120 is manufactured so much better. There really isn't a comparison.

You are joking about buying the Tamarak over the Tarpon right? You might want to do some better research!

This is a very very poor decision on your part.
There is no comparison the older wilderness system is far better and has a great reputation for kayaks. Lifetime Tamarack=Yugo Wilderness System=BMW You can get the yugo for cheaper but it won't perform nearly as well. |

my reasoning is the age of the kayak. it seems more logical to purchase a new kayak with warranty (albeit of lower quality than the tarpon). i understand that it is a great model and is widely respected and by no means think that YakMedic would sell me a faulty kayak.

Wow if you're going to pass on this then I might be interested, as I'm sure others would be as well
