Hey all, saw a nice Vibe Yellowfin 120 for sale on CL for $650 that's in like new condition. Anyone have experience with these? I'd be using it out of Santa Cruz in the bay.

Going to reply to this even though its 6 months old in case anyone looks for a Vibe review. 

I have a Vibe Yellowfin 100, recently got it; I love it, I think it's the best you can get for the price and it was my favorite among the others in the class.  It's wide @ 32", rudder can be added, the seat is super comfy for long days.  It's got plenty of storage and space for me, but I'm not crabbing really.  It's pretty slow but stable.  I haven't taken it out enough to experience bad conditions, but I'm also pretty confident in the water.  I assume the 12 footer would be even faster and easier to paddle. 

My biggest complaint is that its fairly heavy for the size, although again it's pretty wide.  With my gear on it (fishfinder, battery, cooler, etc) it's about 80 pounds, and I know there are 12+ foot pedal kayaks around that aren't much more. 
I'd rather be swinging...
