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.

You'll have a blast with that thing. The Tarpon is a good boat too.
I've had three nice fishing kayaks from a LiquidLogic Manta Ray, Ocean Kayak Prowler Trident and then the Hobie Pro Angler. It's a great way to catch fish and very addictive. You might find yourself using the kayak more than the boats. Enjoy and be safe. If you have any questions about rigging, I'll be glad to pass on what I learned over the years.

Thanks for the input. So far I plan to mount a Lowrance Elite 4 DSI on the slidetrax dashboard with a tranducer mounting arm. Wont drill any holes until I am for sure on my mount, I do plan to have a rudder installed as well as a couple flush mount rod holders behind the seat. Maybe two scotty rod holders in front of me. Once I get it paid off I plan to take it to the beach and build some confidence in it. Flip it and work on getting back in it etc. My bigger fear is that I may have bought the wrong boat for a beginner, at 28" wide. But I have never been on a yak so maybe its part of the learning curve.

I paid $657 for it as a dealer demo. One of the orbix hatches is a little sun faded and some paint is missing on the slidetrax rails.
