Kayak patching - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks for the replies. So far we're 1 and 1. Anyone else have an opinion on this? How much does a small hole repair usually run?

On another note, any suggestions on kayak brands, lengths, etc? I've seen some nice ones for around $600.

welcome to BWE. go talk to Andy at OEX sunset beach see what he has, demo a few different kayaks. I would not buy a kayak with a hole in it for $600. Unless it was a pro angler.

About a mile or two.

For $600 you can buy a bunch of nice kayaks. Don't start with a problem!

You want to focus on your fishing not screwing around with bilge pump capacity numbers.

Take it from a guy who's been there done that...saw this happen personally, kinda scary...

First of,

Repair isnt usually too bad. Most repairs will run you 20-30.00 with OEX.

However I agree if price isnt phenomenal, get something else. We have a tarpon 160i for 650.00, a Cobra FnD for 550, and a few other used boats at OEX Mission Bay. Andy usually has a few as well.

If you dont know who did the patch then dont trust it.
