looking at a used Dagger Prospect (2002) as my first kayak

Advice
#1

hi - my name is Michael and i’d like any guidance you could possibly give me. I am looking for my first sit in kayak to get started kayaking. I found a used Dagger Prospect 2002 is good condition for 250$. sounds like a good deal to get started. anything I should consider? (originally I was looking at the Eddyline Kayaks but following some advice from this post many kayakers encouraged a used kayak. Thank you and God’s Peace

For $250? If it is in good shape, jump on it. I doubt you will find a better kayak for that price. Just make sure it isn’t warped.

#3

Also make sure you can fit in it. This kayak was supposedly designed for a small person.

If it’s in good shape and you fit well, it may feel tippy. This feeling goes away within a few outings.

At $250, resale is feasible.
