I have a beautiful 21ft nitro with a 200 merc and I found myself spending $1000 on a new wilderness ride 135 today. Just can't get the idea of kayaking out of my head.

Welcome to the addiction bro.  I'm not one of those anti-boat types, they're awesome too, but catching a fish from a kayak is just a different experience. Also, you'll easily save that $1000 in gas money over the life of the yak.

I've owned over 20 power and sail boats. Now I own one power boat and two kayaks. Different areas and experiences. Nice to have a choice. Rich

I'm selling my Bluewave this year and keeping the yaks. The boat is a money pit.

I sold my bass boat 2 years ago, it was a good move. Every now and then I'd like to have one, but not having to worry about any of it is well worth waiting for someone with one to ask if you want to go.

Not many boats that can catch snapper, trout and bass without a need for a boat ramp. I sold my fancy bass boat, now I have 3 hobies. I don't see myself crossing back to a boat any time soon. It's just too fun being inches off the water closer to the fish.

You don't have to be crazy to be a yakker but it helps (JK). The great thing about an armstrong motor is it starts every time.
So much you can get out of paddling, good cardio, etc. Less impact on nature and so relaxing, best stress relief I know of.
Besides all that the financial impact is 20 - 30 times lower.

Just a soon as you get that Ride in the water you will probably go and put a "for sale" sign on that powered money pit. Many of the TFF'ers formerly owned money pits and would never go back.
Mariner Sails was proud to have had the opportunity to put you in your Ride. Your business is appreciated and we are here for you!
