Intro and Kayak Recommendations - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I really appreciate all the replies and feedback. I should have known that posting "kayak recommendation" would lead to the pedal vs paddle discussion.
That said, I fished my buddies outback about a month ago and after 8 hrs on the bay today with some fun wind chop, Im heading over to the dark side. I think it just makes sense for me. That said I will miss surfing/fishing the 120.
She's up for sale

I wont be getting a Hobie anytime soon, due to the fact that they cost more than most of the cars I've own put together, but I'll be looking for hopefully a used model with turbo fins and a newer seat for my back (fractured two vertebrae in high school)

Now the real question:

which model?

That outback for 1000$ would be a great starter . It's amazing how well the hobies hold value .

I saw that. Looks like a pretty good dea, I think it's a 2005. I've got a few people interested in my old kayak and if I can sell my mtb I'll be in the range for a nice used kayak. that 2014 you're selling has the new seat?
