I am a newbie looking to purchase a Prowler 13 or Cobra Fish N Dive.  The link below is for a used Cobra with high back seat and paddle for $800 on Craigslist.  I've seen some in the LA area for cheaper (600-700), and I realize that supply is harder to come by here (and maybe increased demand).  Not even sure if it's appropriate to post such requests for advice here...
But can anyone tell me what is considered a "fair price" for such an outfit? (used Cobra FND, high back seat and paddle).  The paddle new would cost $70.

If you have any other related advice, would appreciate it.  I'd like to get my kayak and gear asap and get out on the water.  I will admit that I have not rented any kayaks to test it out, and the only kayak I've paddled on was a sit-in kayak for a kayak paddling class.

I am a newbie.  Want to take up fishing again, and have taken a kayaking class.  I've only fished from pier/surf in the past and want to purchase a rod/reel "basic setup" that won't cost more than $150.  As the yak + essentials is going to cost approx. $2k+, with accessories over the next year, I'd like to keep the costs down to start with.  I'm interested in fishing for rockfish, hali and stripers (all I can think of for now).  All recommendations much appreciated.  thx in advance.
