A little off topic, but what are some good websites to search for a used yak? I'm interested in getting one myself. Don't know what I'm looking for or my price range yet.

Bckfc.org and lafayettekayakfishing.com

I know how much u like Austin tx now and they have a big yak shop there that sells new and used. A lot of takers from hawaii would order used yaks from there. Think its austinkayaks.com but I could be wrong. Ill see if I can find it for ya

If your gonna go to Texas there are a couple clubs out that way also. I can't think of the names off the top of my head.

I have bought some off craigslist, use searchtempest.com for easier searches. Also texaskayakfisherman is a very active site. Plus the others already posted.

What if I add a rudder? The kayaks im interested in are in stores that dont demo. Imvpretty sold on the 10' but not counting out the 12'.

It definitely helps you track better.

As many have said, I wouldnt go with anything under 12'... there are a lot of reasons for this... I was like you and my first yak was 10'... now my yak is 13.5'... I cant tell you how great it is on so many levels, now I wish I would have listened from the beginning... demo if you can... there are several kayaks that have high and low seats, which are very comfortable... jackson, wilderness systems, native to name a few...
