One of the all time best fishing kayaks

I know lots has changed over the years and we all get caught up in the New-latest-greatest-thing but this is still one of the best kayaks ever made, not initially made for fishing but adapted to do so. It is a kayak that paddled like a dream and if you found yourself in nasty conditions - this kayak was a knife in the water. I would say not a good match for paddlers over 200lbs but for everybody else it did the job. It sat low in the water and had lots of flare to punch through surf or chop.

I was able to shimmy up front to the hatch and the tankwell was a breeze to access on the water. Not even sure if the kayak is still made but if you can find one used, it is worth it. I know some people didnt like the that you the butt area was wet, but hey - its a water sport.
