saw that one this morning, hope the seller gets back to me. Might also check out a Prowler 13 today too if the S14 falls through.

It said it has a hole that was patched... I hope it was done professionally...

I will never going to buy a used kayak that was patched again..........

Or unless is really patched by professional like OEX.

The guy i bought the kayak from, also said was patched and doesn't leak, and it start leaking in the water first time i went out fishing!!

I did test the kayak when buying from him, but with only few mins on the water, really hard to tell is it leaking water, and i was too excited when buying my first kayak...so....

Its a home patch job, I passed. Other than that it's clean

jsigone · 05-16-2012, 09:48 PM

was cheap enough that if it had a problem, I can have it fixed. Hardly any drag marks on the bottom. So it came home w/ me. Also has a high back seat, fish finder,battery/charger and a working bait tank, alum paddle and bunch of bungies.

like danjor said nice car; make sure that you don't hit the triple digits while your yak is on top.....

jsigone · 05-17-2012, 11:18 AM

dude do you know how hard it was to drive at 60-65mph with that yak on last night

oneyedeer · 05-17-2012, 11:20 AM

just put saddles on your wing and put the yak on it

and a monster energy sticker would complete the outfit

Ladder rack on a 1994 ford ranger doing 70-85mph on the freeway is no problem for me with a PA haha

Deefeesha · 05-17-2012, 12:09 PM

Nice buy.

You should loop the straps through the scupper hole for a piece of mind. I would hate to see/hear a kayak loose on the freeway again.

Thanks again Deefeesha for the amazing ladder rack is has paid for it's self time and time again!

jsigone · 05-17-2012, 12:52 PM

not sure I want to try and put that much stress on the roof racks at 85mph.

For the scupper hole idea, I do like that but I've been thinking of added a third strap through the rear doors, tie down the yak to the car rather then depend on the roof rack system. Maybe being too paranoid but never had a kayak on a roof rack before, just my bikes.

Deefeesha · 05-17-2012, 02:05 PM

I run the same set-up on my Audi, its perfectly fine at highway speeds. I have done 85+mph before and it's pretty stable.

Yakin, now let's test that rack out with two yaks.
