sale
Dicks is having a big sale right now and at our location Columbus Ohio, they are offering a Rhythm 14 for 499. It has strap down hatches and comes in yellow and red. Might be worth a look.

Craigslist
I’d hit up craigslist. You’ll end up with a better quality boat for the money. I just bought a Prijon Seayak & and a Looksha 17 with paddles, life jackets, spray skirts, & a bunch of other accessories for $800. You may not get that lucky but deals are out there.

fIELD & STREAM 12’ EAGLE RUN KAYAK
Naw Man
Look for a used plastic boat. 15 - 17 feet. Be patient.
opps 399

good advice everyone maybe i will just wait.my kayak sure does the job now .but i for sure hope to get a new 1 someday
Look for a used Perception Sonoma 13.5
on craigslist. I’ve seen them for as low a $500, but not in my part of the country in the midwest. You’ll need a float bag for the bow, unless you’re loading it with gear.
I agree with Kudzu !

I saw at least four different Kayaks
here under the classifieds that might be in your price range. Trying to help if I can

Thanks Jack
If I was dumb enough to sell a nice 16 foot boat and throw in a nice paddle for $600 there’s bound to be another dummy out there.
i need to hit lotto
lol i never play it unless its like 250 mill.its always expensive for fun stuff.but i will be patient
Agreed.
If I can build one (two, actually), anyone can build one!
Sad fact
Kayak touring is largely a middle class activity (for good reason: it’s an expensive hobby), and at a time when the middle class is being squeezed, it’s getting harder to do.
The alternatives, as this thread has shown, are to be a bargain hound and buy used, or to make your own stuff (boat and paddle).
If you go the latter route, you might end up with an SOF boat and a Greenland paddle. Grow a beard, learn some fancy rolls, and suddenly you’re the hippest kid in class.
im good at fixing stuff
but im preety bad at wood work i doubt i could build a kayak
local CL boats
I looked on the Atlanta Craigslist posts and there is this for $350 with float bags and paddle (read the user reviews here on P.net – could be a good transition to a touring boat):
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/boa/2396692090.html
plus someone is selling a Wilderness Systems Tsunami 125 for $800 (a bit high, I would offer him $600 and see if you can get it for $700 – it is a $1000 boat new.)
Unfortunately when I look at some of
the ads, I think there are way too many people trying to make a living from selling boats rather than trying to help their fellow paddlers.
Many of the boats are way over priced.
