Personally I would spend a little more money and get something larger at least 14' and more stable like the x-factor.
Which ever route that you decide to go, it's going to be a great experience. You'll have a lot of fun, see some amazing things and meet some interesting characters along the way.
Welcome again!

Thanks for the welcome. I watched the updates on the recent blem sale they just had, but had to sit it out and hope for another one next year. The prices were epic and don't mind misspellings or other types of defects as long as they float. I didn't get much help/info from the one place closest to me, especially when it came to yak fishing. I might just take the bike out and see what they have over at OEX, they seem to be good people. I'm constantly checking craigslist for deals, but it is for not. With my job situation and baby on the way, I'll just watch from the bleachers, cheer you folks on, and glean what ever information I can.
As for the areas I wish to fish, I want it all! I live about a mile from Channel Islands Harbor and want to venture outside the walls as well. The recent Santa Cruz fish camping really got my attention. The video replaced Saluki's pictures as my internet porn. I really look forward to meeting the lot of you. Thanks again.
