Greetings, I’m a 62 yr old advid fisherman and I have different small watercraft boats but would like to buy a sot kayak for fishing.
I’d like to keep it 10 foot or under to transport in my van and I have looked around but could use some advice on the matter.
The price range I’d like to stay around is $500.00 or under.
Any way a member could give me areas to look I would be greatful.
Thank You for Looking,
JimG

10’ SOT
Tarpon 100. Quality small boat that you might be able to find used for under $500.
How much do you weigh?
How far do you plan to paddle?
A 10’ boat of any kind can turn into a pig with too much weight.I weigh 220 and rented one.Only kayak I ever paddled that threw a wake.
Looking for kayak
My weight is around 200 pounds.
Maybe I should plan on spending more ?
Thanks for your help

Look for used
That’ll keep the price down.
More money and more boat
There are a few 10 foot kayaks that will hold your weight but they will be very sluggish on the water. Find a way to transport a longer kayak and you will be better off in the long run.
Thank You
