Used kayak look

Considering purchasing a used prism perception 14-foot kayak for $200 any opinions

My buddy just bought one of these and seems to really like it so far. Big disclaimer: I haven’t had a chance to paddle it yet, so I can’t give you a first-person perspective. But after watching him, it looks like it paddles similarly to my Aquaterra Swing (the Prism’s slightly shorter, wider, and older cousin). These boats ride a little low in the water, at least for someone my size (6’1” and 185lbs) and have very little rocker. I’ve half-affectionately named my Swing the Yellow Submarine in light of the way it likes to punch straight through swells rather than ride over them. 99% of the time I’m diving off my yak, so I don’t mind getting wet, and the boat suits my needs really well, even for longer paddles. But if you’re planning on doing a lot of angling and beach launching through surf, it might be worth looking for something with a slightly more modern shape.

Here's a pic of the yak off the Russian River a few years back. Stable but low sides. Moves well in the water.

For 200 you cant go wrong
