Please help with Kayak purchase

: Although he did say that his budget was $500. A roofrack worth anything will cut substantially into that.... Geoff This is true, however it is good to know that if I did chose to get a hard shell kayak I could get it onto my roof. But for now I would like to stay away from spending additional money. So I suppose I would have to get an inflatable kayak for under $500. Are these any good and what type would I need for use on water that ranges from flat to 2-4ft waves? Chris http://www.theboatpeople.com/iks_touring.html#solar $469.00 I have the river version, called the safari which is almost the same boat with holes punched in the bottom for self bailing. Awesome boat and tracks well with the skeg installed. Made in Chekoslovakia by a large European raft company. Inflatable boats will generally have about 25% more "paddling resistance" than a comparable hard shell. This one though, weighs 21 pounds and comes with it's one "dry" bag backpack that it fits into. Between shipping and a paddle, your gonna spend more then $500, but not too, much. I use there Cannon Take-Apart paddle, I believe it's the best value. -- EvilTwig "A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."---- Douglas Adams |
