So this evening my wife and I had a discussion:
Is it more reasonable to buy another kayak or just rent one for when my fishing buddies decide to go out with me?
A little background:
I work like a dog M-F at work, Saturday i almost always go kayaking and Sunday is Church and family time. On a few Saturdays a fishing buddy would go out with me.
My First kayak was a red tandem and i would take a fishing buddy to go kayaking but then i started fishing so i got an X-factor (so for while i had two yaks). My tandem would only go out when my friends were willing to go fishing with me. (
like once every 5 Saturdays) otherwise it just sat there... (granted in the summertime i take a few days off every month)
So then I saw Andy super sale and i decided to sell my cobra tandem and get another x-factor.
So my wife(who refuses to kayak) says to me is it really necessary for you to buy another kayak when the tandem just sits in the garage for a long time and I said "yes." (you never know when the house might get flooded and we might have to kayak out of here)
Which got me thinking should I really be getting another kayak? I mean its nice to have two
My wife made a really good point...
She told me it was up to me.... (you married people know what that means) (but really its my choice, she has given me the green light)
----- But i do want a second yak----- because renting gets expensive--- and i want a blue yak
I also like the fact that i don't have to wait for a kayak rental place to open in the morning before i can take my kayak fishing buddy out.
I mean i could always rent one from Andy, if someone wanted to join me, its not like my friends go out with me every Saturday.
I know other big water edge members have come across this situation
Advantages to having two yaks:
Ability to pick a yak before going out
You can have a friend tag along
You can have two yaks to look at in your garage
You can kayak with a friend and leave any time you want
Disadvantages
Can't name one
My wife says: Waste of money, your not going to use it
Now Most of my friends live in Apt don't have a garage and just have a tough life... So i wouldn't mind having another basic yak...
But it really comes down to, is if i should get another one...
so i am asking for your honest opinion here
