Dang....I was hoping she was getting a real bargain. I have never seen any kayak for as little as $75, and even $150 seemed good to her. Me too actually,------------but I truly don't know. But knot living in 'kayak country" we see few kayaks for sale used, ever. Small row boats used for fishing on the other hand are around, and usually a LOT more expensive than what I would have expected.
Too late! She found it and bought it on the spot.
Still, it will likely be good to have here as a loaner and to take out if someone wants to give a kayak a try. It has a lot of rocker, but I don't know how much chine yet. I have not seen it. It's going to be here in about 1 week or 10 days. She bought it and had her sister pick it up for her, and now she is going to pick it up from her sister in about a week.
I looked up Pyranha Everest, but all I found is what they make now, and that's a short white water boat and not like the one in the picture at all. The one she bought is 12 foot 8 inches long and sleek, just like the blue on in the picture above. No where could I find a review on the older one. So I truly appreciate your info Mick Allan. Have you ever paddled one?
From the pic it looks like one that would be good to learn rolling in. I don't know how well it will handle for longer legs in more open water.
I guess we'll find out soon enough. We'll use it and see how it feels and if it's not a super hard boat to deal with, I can use it as a loaner to friends or loan them my Old Town Loon and paddle the pyranha myself
