Thanks, I'm not looking to do anything like fishing or long distance. Just to go down to some state parks and go down some short streams/lakes. Was looking for something under 500 just to get a feel for it.

It seems that it's recovered some. Austin Canoe and Kayak has a lot more inventory again. Was just looking at it last night while talking with a buddy who's looking at getting a kayak. Most of their pedal kayaks are in as well as regular paddle boats.
I've even seen more at Academy then during the height of hoax flu.

Place at the bottom of my hill started renting kayaks for $20 a day plus free jacket rentals. Been getting bigger ones for me + 7yo and smaller ones for myself on off weeks. Even with $20 being dang cheap, thinking about buying one and carrying down the hill each day like a surfer

Dr.Retarded
ended up buying a WS tarpon 120 and Hurricane skimmer 140T.Both great boats. Need to pick up a few more singles. Thinking of just sticking of tarpon 120s. Eddyline Caribbean 12fs looks hella sexy but I don’t know if I want to trust thermoform for durability. Already am with the hurricane but I’m skeptical how well it’s gonna fair in shallow waters with occasional stumps and rocks.

Those look like nice and fast boats. Hope you been out enjoying them on the water.

What is this 1990? Canoes are obsolete. No one uses canoes anymore. Kayaks are superior in every way. Pick a kayak for your intended use and be done with it.

You are correct. You can do flat water, white water, anything with a canoe, and you have storage, and more stability. If you're good with a canoe it's a magical thing. I think I'll always prefer them to kayaks, though I do enjoy kayaks as well.

Here's a guy chiming in with false information. Right. The same canoe you take out on the lake will work great for white water.... Real genius here.

Thanks for "pants on firing" me three times in your first ten minutes back. Shows me you really care. Also shows me you're a little bit obsessed, and are following me around. Cool.
Also, sorry you became such a pussy that you had to hide your profile.
Welcome back.

Actually, I have a canoe that works great for both. Thanks for confirming that. Have a nice day.

Back country canoeing is amazing. Go to the Boundary Waters if you can, or even better, Algonquin Park. Canoe from site to site every day. It's a blast. Go down streams, over/under trees, get some fast moving water, go across lakes. All in the same day. It really is a lot of fun.

Killarney is nice, but I love Algonquin. I once did a 19 day trip in there, carried in very little food. Snares and fishing. It was amazeballs.
