Oex is an awesome start point as you can test ride. But for a first yak I would recommend going used. You can find some great deals especially in the fall/winter months. Big ticket items to look for is a comfortable highback seat, large hatches (large center hatch is amazingly usefull), and a large rear storage well (big enough for a crate, tackle box, or bait tank). If a crate fits it is generally adequate. Flush mounts and accessory mounts are a plus but is something you can add for not much cash. I've got a 2010 conga escape in good condition with a fishing seat if your intrested. Price is negotiable. Bot trying to push the sale of my yak on you, just putting it out there.
