Just out of curiosity, why not a Malibu? I'm new to kayaking and i'm considering a Malibu Xfactor. ( I've only tried the cobra FnD and X-Factor so far. )

I guess because the Malibu's, to me, don't seem like a yak that I'll be happy with for years. I bought a nice FnD a couple weeks ago and went out on it 4 times (and had a great time fishing from it) but it wasn't "the one" for me so I sold it a couple days ago. The Malibu's seem fine, but for reasons I can't explain, I just see the Malibu's as another entry level yak that I'll want to upgrade out of in a season or less. I just want to skip to one that I'll be happy with for at least a couple-few seasons.

saw this add and it seems like a fair deal considering that it is only a few months old.
may in inquire why you decided to sell?

I dunno. First, they're expensive. Second, they seem like they're kinda heavy on land and with the mirage drive, I loose a lot of deck space. Also, I really enjoy the paddling. I like the exercise and my legs are strong enough from running daily. I might end up changing my mind one day but for now, I'm leaning toward the Tarpon or Prowler.
