Yes... I know... I haven't even finished the Raptor Project and I maybe starting another one.....

Just added a "Wasabe Green" Malibu 2XL to my quiver of kayaks. This one will not be as fancy as ones in the past; just the essentials to be functional, for the kids and/or wife to use recreational, and maybe as a diving platform (should I ever start).

Yes, I've used the wife and kids as justification to purchase a tandem and a buddy yak... BTDT.

I think we need to get a few NCKA bros and do an INTERVENTION before this gets out of hand.   :smt044

btw, can you help me with rigging my yak BEFORE we have you committed?

congrats on the new yak.  It's a wasabi green easel waiting to be rigged by its maestro.

Now you just need to dive off of it and get you some sashimi, to make it complete.  Lol

I think he buys his toys just so he can tinker with something.   :smt003  Nice color Glen.  I can't wait to see what you do with your new toy.

Just as soon as Lapu Lapu (Rey) puts together a Rigging Hookup at his place.... got a bunch of peeps waiting to get the kayaks pimp'd!

I don't plan to do much; just put a couple of rod holders, open up the hatches and a simple fishfinder...

Although I did size up the front & rear hatch ports  for some speakers and a 10" sub in the middle hatch, while I was playing/shopping at West Marine... :smt003

I have atwo seater and mostly use a create in the middle when we fish out it. This will also keep it clean and unabstructed when the family is playing on it.

$550; right in your hood last Saturday...... It's a 2010, but never saw the water; the guy got it as a trade for doing some work and it sat in his storage...

Gotta be quick on CL; and get a gov't job so you can surf ALL DAY!!!!

For the wife & kid...yeah right! :smt003  Nice color though  :smt007

That's my story and I am sticking to it.....

Actually, this is to be used to build WAF by taking her out on the water; and if doesn't earn me any WAF points, she going in the water  :smt044 :smt044 :smt044
