If you already own a yak and all you need is a paddle, then use it. You need a paddle for a kayak or a peddle boat. I have a paddle for sale

.

As for what's better, I sure do like the way those peddle boats zip around the ocean, but then again Quietman's trolling motor worked well also

try before you buy thats good.whats the price difference between them

the difference between a free kayak and a new peddle kayak is about $1700++++

I'll need a new one soon, gonna have to kick the tires on a few soon.

The Hobie mirage drive adds quite a bit to the price. It would probably be best to just buy a paddle and use the one you have for a while. That should give you some time to learn all the ins and outs of kayak fishing. If you decide that you like it and are going to stick with it you can look for a specific yak. The OEX stores have a wide range of kayaks (everything except for Cobra I think) and they can help you out with your decision. Make sure you paddle/pedal several types before you make a decision to buy a kayak.
