New kayak

Looking at buying a new kayak and any suggestions are welcomed. Im limited to 75 pounds due to transporting and about 1500 price limit as well. Would like a higher eeight capacity then most im not to large just like more stability. Currently look at big game 2 trident 15 and a couple others any ideas would be awesome

With that price range you have a ton of great options.

Standard advice is to try and demo before you buy...that way you can get what feels best for YOU and not what some other person likes.

Best of luck!!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

ps...if you have any questions about the Jackson kayaks I would be happy to do my best to try and answer them, but still encourage you to demo and shop around. 

I plan on trying to demo everything just want to try all my options first biggest issue ive found is weight limit

Im meaning both im only about 230-260 depending on diet etc the issue is car carrying capacity my roof rack only permits 75 lbs

You might want to reconsider using OEM roof racks.  There have been posts regarding them failing with kayaks mounted. 

They are not oem they are thule it says. Thule says my racks only support 75 pounds

Don't rule out used kayaks. It seems the newer models tend to be heavier than older models. You might run across a deal here or on the web. Are there any end of season demo/rental sales happening?

I think 75# is max bar load since your kayak will never be only on one bar you should be good with any yak you want.
That's what I was lead to believe.

I love my OK T15!!  I have a P13 also which is cool and all but the T15 is smooth and stable.

I think ive narrowed it down to the t13 and t15 just need to test them out
