Hey guys, I’m completely new to kayak fishing so I’m hoping to get some advice before I pull the trigger. I mainly fish saltwater bays, harbors, and occasionally near the beach so I’d want something stable and safe for that kind of fishing.
I found this kayak on Facebook Marketplace and I’m trying to figure out if it’s a good deal and I should pull the trigger or if I should pass and continue saving. I’ve never owned a kayak before and don’t really know what to look for when buying used. So I thought I’d ask you guys!
The price is $850
The description reads:
This comes with about everything you need to get started. Hobie drive and all the lines worked when I moved her to storage. Comes with a paddle, fishing crate, scale, dolly, seat, night beacon, and a vest. I’ve even got a 2” hitch tailgate extension included if you want it!
She has been well loved - cosmetic scratches and I did notice a bit dry rot / misssing straps on the Hobie drive.
