looking to buy a a Kayak or Canoe (1 Viewer)

I am looking to buy a Kayak or canoe, kayak preferred. I am not looking to spend a lot of money since I will keep this at my cabin in Canada and will only use it a few times a year. I am looking for something I can go out in in the evening during calm weather for some fishing. Some days the water is like glass and I don't want to have to pull the boat out of the dock just for casual fishing.

A couple years ago I ran into a guy at Coyote Lake that had one of these.
Hobie Cat Company - Mirage Outback

I know they are pricey but I have seen a few of them on Craigslist at decent prices.
This is the one I'm saving up for.
Hobie Cat Company - Mirage Outfitter

The pedal drive mechanism is pretty amazing, these things really move.

Those are cool, but I am looking for somethign used under a hundred bucks.

Birdog has the right idea, only mine will be the Outback model

How'bout an inner tube?

Inner tubes are only good for one thing, stuffing a cooler in them while rafting down a river.

I may go with an inflatable kayak if I can't find a used one for a good price.

$100 ? Wow good luck? Sports chalet has good selection of both? You can get ok sport kyak around $250?

I figure there has to be someone with a dust covered, spider infested 1970 kayak sitting in a back yard someplace... if not, I'll get an inflattable for as much as I will use it.

This is inflatable and is only $9.99. Should work perfect for ya

 

[hudyhue]

[megolfer]
