new model ocean kayak

[tomca]

I happened to be down at the boat ramp near the old caravan park at Hemmant this arvo and there were 2 blokes with a new ocean kayak, straight out of the container having a play in the creek.

It had a hatch like a profish but a bit smaller that housed a battery and in the rear cargo well was a short minnkota and the power control was a dial in the middle between your legs, and the rudder was a traditional foot operated one with a twist and stow mechanism(like the hobie one)

Looked the goods, much better than the peek-a-boo IMO.

It was very stable when standing up too and was much narrower than my outback. Mobile phone pics didn't work, but its a great looking bit of kit. Just got to talk Nickers into an upgrade, so I can borrow it :woohoo:

What did you get in exchange for the ring ? :laugh: (and don't say Nickers )

[tomca]

I cannot answer that as I have been promised a beating if I don't start being serious about it

Ocean kayak torque , about $3500-00 I think....is awesome , but so is the price !!

[tomca]

Yep, thats the one. Name escaped me before.

The price makes a hobie look cheap!

[rob316]

hey tomca , I was wrong with the price - looking better at $2490.00...still needs a battery though...equal to the hobie prices if thats correct

Nuff said?

I would so get a boat

$3690 for one on ebay.

Can buy a pro fish for less and they are almost as big as a boat.
