Do you really want to be out on the ocean, with the "cheapest" kayak you can find? That big blue can be a bitch, and the last thing I want is a weather checked, paper thin, piece of plastic between me and Davey Jones' locker. There are some great used kayaks out there, most of the time they are fine, guys just trading up. But you need to look them over, because even though the hulls might be ok, they might have lost the weather stripping on the hatches, holes drilled all over hell for mounting equipment that will take on water when the waves crash over the sides, which happens ALL the time. Just some food for thought in your pursuit of the madness, what might seem like a smokin deal at $200 could be a recurring nightmare for you. Make sure you check things out before buying dirt cheap used stuff.
Live your life, the way you want to be remembered. Don't have any regrets, we only get this one dance to make it count. Start at your eulogy, and work backwards.
