looking for a new yak??? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Just thought id post this up for anyone who is in the same boat as me. If your looking for a yak on a limited budget i just saw this on craigslist. New yaks at a used price. Trying to get work covered myself so i can get up and drive up there and hopefully bring something home with me. Gonna be super bummed if i cant get work covered.

so i realized after looking at the photo that the kayaks are all stripped. Would have to purchase all hatches, seat, paddle etc. Anyone know what the cost is for like the front or center hatches on malibu kayaks?

I dont think there cheap for a cobra kayak its like 80 a hacth i think this is an okay deal if you want a 100% custom and have the money for it.

I'm sure that Andy & crew from OEX will be handling this sale once again. Don't be fooled by a "generic" yak, specially these Malibu yaks. I went to the first parking lot sale they held last year and purchased my X-13 and my brother got a X-Factor (stock). The X-13 came with front & center hatches, rod holders (four) & a rudder. Some of them are "stock" (bare bone yak) while others may have a few add-ons. Go you won't be disappointed.

One Happy Malibu customer!

yaaa unfortunately i was unable to get my shift covered at work so i am stuck from 6 till like noon at the earliest. Any idea what they do with any leftover stock if things dont get picked up??? Does OEX take them to their shops and get rid of them??

snaps!.........I started with craigslist yesterday.........will be posted here on Monday

This is a 1 day event, so get someone to go for you or get there somehow. We do not take stock from the factory, after it is over it is back to business as usual.
