One used outback here... So sweet but I like to get a fully body workout so I say use both. no complaints other than it as not as cool looking as other standard yaks.  This is a nerd fest of a sport anyway ... :-)

I want the adventure island next.... New

Just picked up a used Native Mariner 12.5 pedal boat. I love the ability to fish hands free and to stand up and fish. Wish they made a faster hull design though. And damn is it heavy.

Paddleboy84, how is the Mariner working out for you? There were concerns with the prop and kelp beds. Also, how about taking on water thru the surf? Up here in the Portland area we still don't see any of these. I still haven't talked myself out of becoming a Guinea pig.
