I was @ Sherman Island today paddling and a few folks recommended I list my fishing kayak here. (spike, Tiny, and a former Marine) thanks you guys.It seems as $975. would be a fair price. I'll see if I can post a pic. I guess you contact me thru this forum? I tried a few times to load pics, no jive. you can google, sabalo kayak to see some pics.

Cool looking boat, looks like allot of work but then a thing of beauty.

my boat is NOT the boat in the above smug mug link. I can email pics to interested folks. Mine has, a large rectangular hatch behind seat, two 9" diameter hatches, one in the bow, the other between your knees, 4 other small round screw lids to allow complete assess to bilges. has an anchor trolly system and 2 rod holders. It appears my image is to large to post here, and I've no idea how to resize it on my mac, The boat paddles fast and turns well when put on edge. Thanks for allowing me to post here, I was the guy at the crab fest with the wooden sit inside with the sprinkler pipe holder for my pro mar traps. That was a fun time.
Tim.

O.K. figured it out, here's the real thing.

I did not build this boat, rescued it at a moving sale.
I've build lots of wood kayaks, you can ask Dan @ Headwaters about the boats I've built. ( Shearwater-14, Pax-20,Night Heron,Chesapeake 14, Chesapeake 17LT),.Anyway I'm impressed with how this Sabalo paddles,and room to put in the kitchen sink. The wife wants me to sell this one, says we got enough wood clogging up what I call the service entry to our home, lol. I really would like to make it my crabbing yak, but that won't happen.
There's a lot of misconception about woods durability, well I really abuse my boats when paddling the American, no problems.
This yak needs a new home.
