The tiny 6 footers at Walmart start at $250. I would like to find a used 8-10 footer for under $500.
I know Yellowfin has some used ones at their place you might want to look at.

yea... I could make a trip to see my parents in Atlanta and drop by
the local REI store a pick-up a NEW Ocean Kayak Frenzy (9ft) for
$349.99 + tax. So, I figure $200 is not bad money for a kayak
that is collecting dust in someone's garage here.

Go ride your bike!:yikes:

I really love riding my bike, but some days I need a break from all the cars
trying very hard to run me over on the bike path. On a normal ride from
Seagrove to Grayton (on the bike path), I have to take evasive action at
LEAST 3 times per ride. Kayaking around here is less stressful. :cool:

I'll give $205 for exactly what he's asking for. Really, I'd like a tandem kayak or even a canoe. When my kids or friends visit I'd like to be able to go out with them. I have an awaesome sit-inside Heritage Featherlite Fishing Kayak but want a second. But as stated, $205 and why not, I'll throw in a copy of my book :)

Hey Mike...Peter beat you to it. Isn't that funny that I had just suggested to you to do a post for a kayak. I hope you both get one and call me to go kayaking with ya'll. :D

It sure is. I came on to post and saw that Peter had a thread looking for bascially the same thing so I figured I'd just out bid him. I know I was making him sweat. I figured he'd never be able to take the pressure of such a bold and decisive step up, but apparently he used some kind of Kong Fu mental tactic on the seller or something. But I'm not a sore loser and if I happen to see Peter in his kayak I won't yell obscenities at him acroos the lake nor will I swirve at him while he's on the bike path again, I mean, for the first time, meaning, the first time, because I've never done it before :)

All's fair in love and used kayak purchasing? :nono1:

The rental companies usually have used kayaks and bikes for sale at the end of the season.

We just took a used boat in on trade. It's a tandem kayak called a Pelican Apex II. It's 12' 9" long, 36" wide, weighs 70 pounds, and has a 450lb. capacity. It's $300 including two seatbacks and two paddles.

Peter F., if you need any accessories for your new boat, stop by our Seagrove store.

Mike, this may not be exactly what you're looking for, but we get different kayaks in all the time.

Good paddling...

Thanks John. Yes I have your card with me right here. I got my fishing license with you guys and supplies before and have been in and looked at your kayaks. You actually handed me a pamplet with new kayaks which i keep next to my chair here at home. Luv just lookin' at em'. I am familiar with that tandem Apex. My brother has that model bought from Academy SG. I appreciate the heads up on it.

Dang it! I can't believe he did that. I mean, that's 30a kinda money he's throwing around. Peter, you can have it if it's that important to ya. I mean, I have mouths to feed and alcoholic beverages to buy. Good luck buddy, but, uh, watch it on the bike paths lol

Teasin' There has to be more than one kayak out there. $204.99 (Reverse psychology)

Took care of that. YellowFin no longer has the used Pelican kayak for sale. I just scooped it up. :biggrin:
It will make a good starter kayak for the little lady and I.

Peter,

I have an Ocean Kayak Scrambler XT- 12' long and it weighs 55 lbs. Red. With a dry storage hatch.

I have been considering trading it in for a smaller surf kayak. If I can find a new kayak to replace it, I may be willing to sell it to you.

Let me know if you're interested.

Sounds like what I am looking for.
What condition is it in ? Have you stored it out of the sun?
What about price ?

Thanks.:wave:

I would sell it to you for $200.

Good condition, the keel is slightly dented at one place. It has been stored under a porch for the most part but does have some sun fade.

Dry storage cover is in good condition and very watertight.

I can post some pics in a few days.

Peter...give me a call when you get your kayak and lets go kayaking...I'm ready for a trip into the wilderness!
P.S. I thought you were moving away...?
P.S.S. Watch out for "book boy":lol:...don't let his "way with words" steal your kayak :D

I would like to take a look at it. I am not so much worried about
sun fade as I am long term UV damage. Plastic (Polyethylene)
exposed to the Sun long term , can make it brittle and easyer to
fracture under stress. When you are ready to sell it give me a call:
