Snarking after the gathering CHAT

In related news, I didn't lose a knife this time!

I won't say a thing.

What do you guys think is the best type of kayak, the sit-in, or sit-on-top? Why?

 

[Guyon]

Depends on what you want to do with it.

For a fishing platform, you can't beat the SOT's. Stable, lots of surface area for mounts and gear.
In warm weather, the SOT's are great boats for paddling and adventure/camping.
However, in the cooler months, I really like my little sit-insides with a spray skirt.
For speed, nothing beats a sea kayak. Lots of room for stowing gear inside too.
Length matters too. Short = more maneuverable. Long = faster.

I took my Kayak out Sat and Sun but today Im back at work. Did catch a few fish.

Thanks Guyon. I was thinking a SOT would be easier for me to board, just because of my weight, and lack of nimbleness, haha. Seems a sit-in would be hard for me to manage. I would just use it on the lakes, perhaps the creeks. Do a little fishing for sure. BTW, I love the looks of the green one you posted above. What kind is that?

 

[Guyon]

They make kayaks for big dudes. For instance, the OK Big Game Angler is rated for 550-600 pounds!

Holy crap, that's awesome. What kind is your green one above, and what's it rated at weight wise?

That's a 13' OK Prowler Angler Edition. It was my first 'yak. I don't even think they make that exact boat any more. Here it is tricked out for striper fishing.

Ocean Kayak is good stuff. Also, check out the Wilderness SOT's (Tarpons). Perception is a sister company of Wilderness and makes good 'yaks. Malibu, Hobie, etc. also have good boats.

Edit: Maybe they do still make it, or maybe I just found old stock. But I found it at Flander Fountain. Says it's rated for 450 lbs.
If I were buying now, I'd probably go for one of the Ocean Kayak Tridents. Those are sweet.

Thanks for the heads up. Damn, you have that thing loaded, it's awesome. Sure looks a lot different without everything on it. http://www.oceankayak.com/kayaks/angler_kayaks/prowler_13_angler/

 

[thrillbilly]

yeah but all they have is yellow. I would want one in subdued color. I think Im just gonna buy another small jonboat. I had a 10' jonboat that was awesome, would go anywhere a canoe would...and it was STABLE! plus I could haul a lot of gear/beer coolers.

 

[Greybush]

For those who were wondering, I ordered my guitar. Les Paul gold top and a line 6 combo. Can't wait.

 

[tradewater]

Which line 6 did you get GB?

 

[Skystorm]

That prowler looks sweet! I was looking at the 13T in brown. I can't do yellow. uhg,

Me and the Major took our boys out for a nice little hike down a creek we have been to several times, and cooked up some breakfast. Had good times. Only wanted to strangle the boy a few times. Vast improvement. Pics shortly. Also, 5.11 Rush 72 is freaking awesome. Had it fully loaded down, and no issues at all. I even had two full bottle carriers attached on the sides, and all it did was make the whole getup wider.

Cooking breakfast in the woods is comparable to magnificent breasts that dispense cold beer. Looking forward to the pics.

I was thinking of getting one of these http://www.zebco.com/products/Micro_details.html for kayak fishing. It can be a pain to handle a full sized rod in my little yak.
