Fully loaded fishing kayak - homebrew

$900. A broad, super stable 12'6" Ocean Kayaks Malibu 2 tandem with everything you need to get on the water catching fish this weekend, minus the price tag and hassle of setting up a new rig. Excellent starter rig for shore-fishers looking to expand their range. Features:
--Fish it single or double with full functionality either way; fish single either from the back seat for surf launches or the middle seat for harbor launches
--Livewell with timer pump. Make your own bait and keep them swimming strong
--Color Humminbird Helix 5 fishfinder/GPS unit; transponder on flexible arm to provide water temp and no breakage/snagging in kelp beds
--12V battery and charger
--Two SeaAirSports high-backed seats with two rodholders and a storage pouch each
--Rugged PVC cart with solid rubber tires
--Hull: beat up, faded, ugly but fully solid. No hatches means less chance of water intrusion. Filled with about 20 pool noodles for backup flotation
--Rod holders for both single or double configuration, without interfering with your paddle stroke. THIRTEEN rod holders includes one Scotty that can be moved to fit your single or double configuration. Rod holder placement allows trolling with rods in front of you and your fishing buddy in all situations. Easily fishes three rods plus gaff single; six rods double.
--Two paddles with leashes
--Two super nice Kokotat life preservers
This is a homebrew fishing yak and would do best with an owner who doesn't care how it looks. It works great and is light enough to wheel down the path at Bluff Cove in PV, with all the features needed to fish Redondo Canyon. Dog not included.
