Scupper Pro

Is $400.00 for a scupper pro a good deal? I dont have any knowledge of them and was wondering if they are stable enough for the ocean. It looked really clean in the pics, came with a PFD and a seat.

Imo that's not a bad deal.  They are great boats, but the seat is designed for small butts.  They struck a near-perfect balance between speed and stability on those original designs.

Hi Yaker:

         The Scupper Pro is my Fav. Try to pickup a Pro with a Tank well.
The cost seems fair and, even better if it comes with a seat and Paddle.
         My first Butt was caught on scallens' "Old Blue" a Scupper Pro. It's doesn't have much secondary Recovery but, It's like riding a Bike.
         The Scupper Pro is Fast, Light and easy on the Pocket.

with a definite nod towards speed.......

Great kayak, good price but it's not fit for everybody. I'm 5'11 and 240 lbs. lot's of leg room for me but the seat is a little tight and becomes uncomfortable within an hour of paddling.

What's you height and weight?

It's CHUB's boat of choice. He's been in some major slop with me the whole time riding his Scupper Pro TW. Because he is so light he hauls @ss on it too.

Had one but sold it to get the trident.  Scupper pro is fast and dependable.  caught many fish on it out on the blue. 

I have 2 supper pros now and at one time I had 4. 1 TW and one double hatch the TW is the one for diving and fishing. The other one is good for tripping across tomales for a picnic. A little narrow for some at 24 inches but they are fast. They dont make them anynore and its a good boat to have in the ocean. Its not good for anchoring in a smokin' outgo for sturgeon, BTDT. If they are asking 400 they will take 350 maybe.

Great! Lots of info. The yak is in craigslist in humboldt. I still have to contact them. Not sure if I can justify buying it but if it is still there I would pick it up for someone who wants it. I am headed to Placerville this Saturday. I will see if they have it regardless.

Hightide:  How does the Scupper stack against the trident?  I like the center hatch and the trident angler for pole storage.    DcBatt

The supper is faster but less stable. The trident is slower but you can sit on anchor in a 6knot current with wind waves hiiting you from the side of 3ft and not feel tippy. The scupper is lighter. You can carry it down a cliff. The trident you just throw over the cliff and leave it there when you are done.
