Noob in search of a kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If you are not a big guy, something like this prowler 13 for $400 would be a good boat that you won't have to upgrade for a few years.

Not my boat, just posting something I found on CL.

The Cobra is Sold. That was quicker than I thought. Good luck in your search SlimJim.

i think this statement is all relative. as long as any boat is seaworthy it would not need to be upgraded.
i had a cobra marauder at first, took it out one time and i knew immediately that i would need to upgrade to a hobie. since then (june 2010), i have upgraded three times, each time.....a hobie.

I'm going to keep an eye on this thread since now I need a new kayak too. Around 7-8 hundred would be nice. (Sorry for the thread hijack)

Are those X Factors any faster than my Cobra FnD? It looks like a truck too.

X Factors are pretty good when it comes to speed and stability way faster than the FnD, was my first yak, but Hobies are the way to go

I actually upgraded away from hobie.

They are neat, I have owned 4 hobies. From outback to revo to sport. But went back to a prowler eventually.
