Awesome idea. I think this will be very interesting stuff. It should also help new folks out.

Some of us need more than two votes, either because we have families that kayak, like to take friends out with us, or are lucky enough to have task-specific boats (hey, you have more than one shirt and pair of pants in the closet). My list is:

OK Prowler 15
Hobie Adventure
WS Tarpon 120
OK Malibu II

What if we just float in our PFD's?..... :smt011

Seriously it should be if we could have any kayak what would it be. That would really help out anyone wishing to purchase one.

Heh Joel, I couldn't figure out how to specify my "other" boat..........my Ocean Kayak Venus.  So, you got a check at "other" but not the name of the boat from me.

what are the top 2 yaks that you use in general? That would be the answer.

By the way, how do you like the Hobie Adventure?

Blue - I bought my first kayak (Cobra Explorer) at Kayak Connection in Santa Cruz 5 years ago. I'm pretty sure they had T160's available back then. And I know all the REI locations and Monterey Bay Kayaks sells them as well.

Yea I voted.  But I hope people don't take it as a measuring stick on what to get.
I was new to the sport and had no knowledge of what to look for.
(shhhhhhh!)  I wouldn't recomend the kayak I use to anyone.

Point system like how many years you owned the kayak should do the trick.

potto,
how come you don't like your yak?
it's huge, but you sure seem to do pretty well off it.

got a center hatch. wide=stable,+long=fast.

closed cell foam lining makes it unsinkable.

looks like a worthy ocean machine to me? no?

fill us in.

Just any FYI: I created the poll because I was just curious to what people are paddling these days - I'm not trying to make a point on what kayak "rules  :headbang:" among the rest.
