I thought about doing the same thing for a fishing friend whom I would bring from time to time. It was nice to have an extra yak but I noticed it sat most of the time when I wanted to fish the other couldnt reality it sat most of the time. But it is nice to be able to be in your own yak especially if you want to move to a different spot.

All in all do you have that money to burn? Its your call now.

My neighbor bought a yak on impulse after I bought mine, his yak is now a bakyard ornament.

Neighbors Yak Purchase= $750
Neighbors Yak Upgrades & Accesories= $500
The look on his face when I came home with back to back to back limits = you know the answer

Much like you said though, " do you have that money to burn.............."

While I applaud you on bringing your friend fishing and wanting to get a "solo" yak for him, I would hold off.

Here are my reasons:

1. You have an extra yak already.
2. He only fishing once in a while (far less than you).
3. Money spent on a third yak could be used for a "Mothership" trip, family vacation day or something else.
4. You have an extra yak!

Have you considered that he can fish solo from the tandem. If you have another friend or he has one, consider purchasing an extra paddle for the tandem so three of you can fish together.

Good luck.

Tandem i sold (didn't really like the tandem) to buy another one from Andy(at this upcomming supersale).(at this moment i only have one)

I have received a few private tells, that told me just buy a basic model and make my friends hold their fishing rod.

So here lies the question

[tagyak]

let your friends rent or buy one themselves. if they really like to fish or want to kayak, then it will be a really easy decision on their end to do so.

aren't you a member of this forum for a reason? to find others who want to do the same thing as yourself to fish from a kayak? i have friends who like to fish, but don't have kayaks. i always encourage them to buy one so that we can go out together; they haven't bought one.

and who gets to clean up after them? do they help or do they just say thanks for the trip and go home? when i get back i am pretty beat and not feeling like cleaning up one, let alone two.

like they say, the thought is what counts; so nice thought, but use your money on something else.

my .02 worth

you guys are all correct.

I thought it was just nice to have two, but not to just have it sit there.


its like what someone just told me:

"Your friends are willing to go out with you as long as you shell out the money. I love my friends, and i love the idea of having two just in case someone wants to go with me, but it does not make any sense if it will just sit there and yes my friends help me clean them. that not fair either" he said


I guess i am the one who wants two...

I hate fighting myself...
