Question: How many kayaks do you own (past and present)...

1st yak was a tarpon 160i now my older son's ride
bought my trident 15 thats all mine.
got a prowler 13 for nathan, but now thats the wifes.
won a trident 13 at the MBK tourney with a huge 56 pound (or was that ounces?)rockfish, nathan's current ride.

1st yak was a tarpon 160i now my older son's ride
bought my trident 15 thats all mine.

E2G, how would you compare the two? They are on my short list for my next yak.

OK Scrambler XT- gone
WS T-160 2-hatch----gone 
2 Cobra Maurauders current ride and buddy boat
OK Kea- Ty's rig
OK T-13 on the way to pimpsville 

I've only owned 2 boats and the 2nd one I just picked up -

07 Hobie Adventure - mine
08 Hobie Outback - wife's if I can ever get her out but more likely a buddy boat

Someday I hope to get one for the little munch-kin but she's not even 2 yet so I've got a little while.

I fish and dive a lot and need the carrying capacity.
I used to own a Cobra fish and dive but sold it to work abroad.
 Upon returning, I found nothing but empty space in the freezer.
I tried out a number of intended upgrades and chose once again ....thanks to Mickfish......a Cobra fish n dive.

here the basic stuff http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,13485.0.html

since then I would add that the trident weathercocks a lot more than the tarpon but that can be remedied by a rudder, or with some paddling 'rudder' action

2 scupper pros
1trident15
1pamlico sit-in double(soon to be my go to steelhead/salmonriverboat)
1wilerness systems cape horn 16ft touring

A lot actually...but the rudder makes it fantastic.  Jellys old Tourer was the same way.

My first kayak was a aegean OK on the Big Island
loved it but it was a barge.  It floated my friend and his wife and they collectively weigh over five hundred pounds.
Current kayaks
Recently bought a three man OK (not sure name) for a hundred dollars.
Cobra fishndive
islander moku 11.5

-Liquid Logic Manta Ray 14, replaced by Native Manta Ray 14"
The first one leaked and developed cracks, but the Native is awesome and remains absolutely bone-dry inside.
-OK Drifter, picked up cheap during and end-of-summer sale at Sports Authority...  a decent paddling boat, but wet.
-OK Scupper Pro, old school dual-hatch, picked up in a trade, very fast but a little tippy.  Good for small butts.

 Currently.. Hobie Revo, also have Trident 15.7 &  WS T140 both  are for sale.
 
 Past rides.. going back in time., T160i,, Pungo 120 & 140,, Necky Zore sport,, 2 Necky Santa Cruses,   
 2 Old town  Loons, a frame and batten canvas coverd home built, plywood 14 home built.. in high school.
   
  Loved them all, Royg
