How often do you acquire a new (to you) fishing kayak?

I think I am the cheapest one here!!!  since 2005 i only owned 3 kayaks.

Read post 18... I'm super ghetto bro.

And it gets from place to place on a 2000 Toyota Camry.
With a cracked windshield and over 200k miles!

And the ghetto icing is my stock paddle. Weighs about 3 pounds. Lol

But it all works and I love it!

Sorry Guys, but I've got both of you beat.  I was given a (Native Watercraft) Manta Ray 12' for fathers' day 2009 and its' still the only one!!!

Picked up my first boat in 1988.
Ann Dwyers Kiwi kayaks "Kopapa"



Then upgraded a few years later and just kept upgrading.
Dagger's  "Resonse"


When the SOT thing hit
2 OK "Malibu IIs"



OK "Yakboard"


Islander kayaks  "Hula"  (rider, K. Wood)


Wilderness Systems "Riot"  (my first river fishing boat)


Hobie "Quest"  (this boat did not survive this trip)


Wilderness Systems "Tarpon 140"


Wilderness Systems "Tarpon 160" DH


Malibu Kayaks  "Mini-X"


Wilderness Systems "Kaos" (never fished from it)


Malibu Kayaks "4.4"


Wilderness Systems "Tarpon 160"


PRS "Spirit" (ski) (I liked to call it "Faster")


Wave Sport "Diesel 75"


Imagine surfs hybrid SOT/SUP "The Speeder"



Cobra "Strike"



RTM "Disco"


And the Jackson "Coosa".
.
and is my current primary/favorite.


We have been close to one boat purchase per year for awhile now and have also picked up SUPs as needed. A few more upgrades are expected in 2014 and Ill be making some difficult choices as to what has to be sold to make room.

 i have owned 5 kayaks over the past 39 months = 7.8 months

and since i dont plan on buy one in the next month and a half, I'll round up to 9....

Summarizing the current results.

80% of voters buy a new kayak on average every 21 months.  The other 20% buy a new kayaks at a rate more than 48 months.
