Let me add the Stealth 14 & Manta Ray to this wish list....  thanks for the call from a fellow member who has the Stealth 14 for sale.  Any takers on a great entry level Kingfish FULLY rigged?  Make a screaming deal to help fund the next kayak!!!!

What's your experience been with this kayak.  I've heard mixed reviews but have REALLY been looking for one!

Currently running a Lowrance M68C GPS MAP/Fishfinder (color) but am switching to a Lowrance HDS-5 Gen 2 for this year.  Prefer the waterproof connector of the M68 & older Eagle stuff (size, waterproofness, etc) but the new stuff all uses the larger plugs.  Can't justify the cost of the Simrad 19" monitor with radar but it WOULD look cool as hell!

I work to fish.... among other things.  I'm a Designer/Project coordinator for an engineering/design firm located in Morgan Hill, CA.  We specialize in medical devices, automated systems and metrology.  There are a number of other facets to our design capabilities as well.  We manage "ideas" from concept to market release or anywhere in between using the latest in FEA analysis and development in SolidWorks.  I also develop my own items as a "hobby" using SolidWorks.  Have a product you need manufactured?  I have a few very select sources for CNC machining of parts in a varity of materials and finishes, including powdercoating & anodization.  My personal hobies extend into metalworking and woodworking.  Looking for soemthing custom but don't have the means to bring it to life?  I may be willing to barter my after-hours cservices in design/fabrication/assembly for kayak/fishing stuff!  Drop me a line!

Hello all...  Thought I'd drop a "want" ad in the mix.  Looking for a new (used) 13-15' SOT yak.  Selling my shorter fishing yak.  Have the funds available despite not selling my current one yet.  Thinking a Scupper Pro, Prowler, Trident or Tarpon.  Open to other suggestions.  Though my current yak is as stable as they come, I need more speed in exchange for some stability.  Mine has been a proven 1st fishing Kayak and is an absolute SOLID fishing platform!  [P.S.  If you are looking for a FULLY rigged kayak, my Kingfish is FOR SALE -- short list of details includes 5 removable scotty pole holders with flush mounts, flush ritchie compass, Lowrance M68C Color GPS Map/Fishfinder, all stainless hardware, deck bungees, lots of eye pads for attaching straps & crates, etc...  all nicely done with in-hull transducer)  Don't need (or really want) a fully rigged model.  Some light rigging on it is ok.  Like everyone else, I like to make it my own creation.  The sooner the better!  Located in the Monterey Bay area but willing to travel north to South San Francisco & as far inland as say Fresno/Stockton area.  Feel free to e-mail me at go_4_fish @ yahoo .com  Thanks & Tight Lines!  ~Bill
