Anyone know of any used ones before I pull the trigger and buy a new one from Orvis?

Also, if you have used the ultimate 12, how about a good review.

Orvis??

Yes, orvis. Are you buying it from Sean at Orvis in dallas?? I bought mine from Jef in arlington. Got the whole package. Scotty rod holders, skirts to keep water out, and a paddle. Go ahead and buy the anchor system, it's great. I love this boat. tested it to the extreme the other day. 40+ MPH winds, white caps. You won't regret it. seat is really comfortable, and will keep you dry. the only thing i don't like is the track system on the sides of the boat. they don't stay on for anything. let me know when you pull it off.

Trout Bum: If you dont mind me asking, how much $$ was it out the door?

I have heard about the track system on the sides.

you can buy the boat other places for $875, but that is with nothing else. at orvis, you get the package for about $1125 tax included. if i remember correctly.

That sounds like a pretty good deal.

One more thing, do you like the 12' or if you could, would you move up to a 14'?

well, if i was going to carry gear, i would go with the 14'. If not the 12.5 handles great!!! The 14' is nice, but will be a little harder to turn in a short notice.
