I'm just looking at buying one myself. Being 125kg's, I've found that not all kayaks are created equal, and it has restricted my options. just something to consider when buying a used yak.

I've got one in Newcastle, come for a road trip!

Seriously though, I'm a shortass and 60kg. I fish out of a viking tempo fisherman.
My mate who is 6'3" and well over a ton (120kg ish?) fishes out of my yak all the time and reckon's it fits him perfectly. Surprised me, but might be worth a test paddle in that model for you oversized bastards.

Yeah I have one already, I have a Malibu Mini X that I fish from, they are an awesome little fishing Kayaks for what I do, very short yet very stable and they are rated to a max weight of 150KG. What I am after is another cheap kayak so that mates can tag along, I am always being asked by friends if they can come.

This is my Kayak:


This is this morning at Sandgate:


Plenty of bites this morning:

IM looking at buying a kayak ATM as well. To hard to choose.

There are heaps or brands and models. You first have to decide what you are using it for, the if you you want a "sik" sit in kayak or "sok" sit on kayak both have pro's and con's. Then length, width, hull lay out, hull storage, payload etc. I have tried a few and researched well before I bought my Malibu Mini X, I wanted it small, light, stable, specific for fishing. It is not fast and at 9'6" it doesnt track as well as a 12 - 14 footer but I love it

Yeah Vaughn, I love shift work, I have been on 2p to 10p so I am home in bed by 11pm then up at 6am and off to do some fishing, back home by 10am, shower, brunch, nap, off to work at 130pm.
