I have seen this yak in action and deffinetly give it the thumbs up, very good package. Good luck with the sale Tez.

Thought I would mention, if you would like the yak but without some of the extras, I am happy to negotiate. Though I will only sell the extra bits after the yak is sold.

Cheers

Kayaks are like most things to do with fishing, there is cheaper options and more expensive options. For example, you could buy a 12' punt to do the same job as a Skeeter, (this kayak is more towards the skeeter end of the market) both will do the job but some do it better and more efficiently in some circumstances.

Once you add in the cost of a sounder (approx $6-700 in this case) and a paddle that will have you putting more effort into going forward instead of just folding the blade ($350 for this one). As well as a cart ($170) and esky/livewell and the cost does start to get a bit expensive for some.

Having said that, you don't have the other costs associated with owning a boat like rego, servicing, fuel, repairs etc.

This is just another case of horses for courses.

Bump, have added a cheaper package.

[mangrove jack]

where abouts are you mate and what sort of dollars/package are you looking for? i'm thinking of getting into a kayak instead of another tinny

[bigtez]

I am at Caboolture, but am happy to travel for a test paddle/fish. I have put a couple of packages in the first post which are basically $2200 for the lot or $1600 for the bare essentials. I am also happy to negotiate anything in between.

Northstar Sounder has been sent off for warranty work (condensation behind screen) and is taking a lot longer then expected, so I have ordered a new HB 150x (should be here today).

Now $1800 for the lot.

[bigtez]

Still for sale.

[bigtez]

Bump....Make an offer.

[bigtez]

Now $1600!!
