Damn Iceman I got all excited!

Gotta get my shocks so I can do the bedcage on my truck. Got all the parts except them and it is driving me nuts.

Mine broke in half on Thanksgiving. I need a new one and maybe a spare.

Your kayak?

Would you be willing to throw in a decent paddle? The ones with a bend in them? I know I'm stretching it, but its worth a try and I also have to ask the wifey too! doh!

wow, really? you want a bent shaft paddle for free on an already awesome deal? This is a great kayak and about $700 cheaper than buying new.

Yeah sorry I cant throw in a paddle, especially not a Bent shaft. The cheapest bent shaft I own is 480.00.

Yeah, i know. I've read up on it and the only thing I dont like is the weight capacity.

I ended up getting a Wilderness Systems Ride 135 for a heck of a deal. Thanks for sending me the pictures anyways.

How does that thing surf? If you still have it after I move and after I get the new rifle and after I get the new scope, I'll take it off your hands. I could probably use a sleek, sporty kayak strictly for paddling. Lord knows I wouldn't be able to fish from it. The weight of my tackle box alone would probably swamp it. Is the load capacity really only 375#? I can't believe that. I think I saw Dave Easton with at least 375lbs of WSB on his T160 once. You couldn't even see the kayak; it looked like he was straddling a raft made of lashed-together WSB.

Anyway.....let me know if you still have it when January rolls around.
