Just bought a new boat
Well, my boat is in pieces scattered all the over the yard. The 18 Fish is a hopeless case. I have considered buying another hull to rig out but then I end up with yet another boat in the yard. So today I went down and dropped the down payment on a new boat. She is four feet shorter than the V20 and light. I bought her as a dealer demo so she has some scratches. Supposed to be one of the best hulls in her class. Took her for a test ride today and she is fast but a little hard to turn. Power is a little sketchy. I have never paddled a kayak before so I got some learning to do. Should have my 2010 Wilderness Systems Tarpon 160 home by the end of the month!
It was killing me having no way to fish. This seems to be the most affordable option while I work on the V.

I hear Budlight is a better fuel for it that regular Bud, more strokes per can!

Congrats Jason. Best of luck with it. Get and wear a PFD made for canoes and kayaks. They have larger holes in the arm area so it makes paddling easier. Spares right on the Bud light, but if you want more power go with the higher octane Sam Adams.

I am jittery enough with just the kayak. Let alone bringing some BUD. Destroyer I plan on wearing my inflateable like jacket. I wear it on the V and this is no different.

Congrats Jason, looked at them at the sportsman show here in Jersey yesterday. I think that is so cool, great way to fish.

Well things changed. I am not getting the 160 Tarpon. I am getting a 2013 Native Mariner 12.5 Propel. I spent four hours on it on mlk day and fell in love with it. The seat alone made it worth the purchase. We went fishing Saturday and I tried out a Native Slayer. I just do not like having my hands tied up with a paddle. I decided on a Lime Mariner. So now for a name. What goes good with Lime?
