Ok, getting ready to take the plunge once I get rid of my powered boat. I have researched and read about the different options in kayaks. I have narrowed it down to Hobie Outback, OK Trident 13 or 15, WS Tarpon 120 or 140 and Ride 135. Hobie might me out of the price range since I want to add FF, GPS unit, extra rod holders etc. I have also looked at used models. Here are my questions.

1. Does any one have any of these models for sale?

2. I plan on using it on Norman, Mt. Island and possible on the coast when I go on vacation. So which type is more suited for that type of water.

3. Outside of the Hobie which ones tend to hold there value?

I look forward to being a part of the kayak community and meeting and fishing with some of you. I know the Hardcore team is in my area and I have seen them on Mt. Island before. You can email me directly at huskernation24@hotmail.com
