Can't decide - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

When I decided to finally get the boat I'd been dreaming about for years, I was prepared to do whatever it took to get it.
Scraped up all the money I could and planned on financing the rest. After years of dwelling on it, Hobie made sense to me. Then my wife threw me a curveball, and said why don't you get two, so you always have someone to fish with. Craigs list had two Outbacks an hour from me. I made an offer and got both for $2300, fish finders one with GPS, a Hobie bait tank and other misc. gear. They are older boats, not shiny but in great shape. Used boats can come with a lot of equipment that adds to your overall cost. A new boat would have been nice, but I am very happy to be able to get out and fish with my boys. No regrets
