I'll keep it short and sweet. I just left the service under a year ago and got into kayak fishing big time!

Unfortunately i adhere to a strict budget for now and around 1,000-1,400 dollars is the best i can offer for a used kayak. Let me know if you guys have anything you're willing to sell to help me start up this awesome hobby.

A couple options,

The location is a bit of a stretch. I don't mind going an hour out. They both look like great boats too. Thank you for the references., the second link was especially cool.

if he'd take $1500 for the Revo it'd be worth the drive!
Plan it so you could hit up La Jolla on the same trip

Be careful as this is the older model revo with twist mirage drive. For that amount you can get a newer used model.

This guy started out wanting to trade if you read on recently he changed it to sell kayak separate and all have full rigging. One is a OK trident 15 for 1/2 your budget. Check it out. http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ad.php?t=23280

I'll throw in my .2c for what it's worth. You have a really good budget to work with. Guys at OEX hooked me up over two years ago with a basically brand new x-factor that was a blem. It would take you 10 mins to find the spot where the blemish was. With that being said I would hightly advise thinking about your method of transportation, where you see your self fishing, where you actually end up fishing, fish you are targeting etc.
if you are focusing on la jolla and the occasional San Diego bay trip I would look at stealth 14 or a similar yak. Definetly do a test paddle. I love my factor but it's a beast to paddle, on the other hand it's so stable and the one time you need that you'll be stoked.
If I had to do it all over again test paddling and waiting for the right deal to pop up on this forum or Craigslist is the way to go. I've seen deals as low as $800.00 for fully rigged paddle and go amazing yaks. Don't buy on impulse, do your homework.
Stay in touch and look forward to fishing with you soon!
