    Do's- do it
    Dont's- dont not do it


    Space gave you some good advice. My biggest advice for a first time kayak purchase is the seat. Get the best seat you can. Comfort while fishing is more important than paddling or stability in my opinion. If you like it, you figure out what you like and don't like and you'll accessorize and/or upgrade. I've been kayak fishing 6 years now and I'm on my 4th kayak. It's a Native Watercraft Slayer Propel. I have it rigged to the gills. It's a true machine that I take anywhere. The Rez, state lakes, Ms coast, South La, etc... I started on a Pelican Castaway for a cpl months and immediately upgraded to a Ascend 128t. After 2 years upgraded to a KC K12 and went the motorized route. Got in to tournament fishing and ditched the trolling motor for a peddle drive. Couldn't be happier. Incredible fishing platform and a ton of damn fun. The boat control with the Native prop drive is 2nd to none. I can fish this boat in the wind so much easier than pre pedle

    When you get ready to upgrade again, you let me know and I'll come grab yours! Thing is awesome!

    I'll be upgrading soon. Two small kids has taken my fishing down to a minimum.

    Sounds like it's about time for me to make a stronger effort to get back out on a regular basis.
