That's what I like about my kayak. 70 lbs or so with what I normally have on it (not counting crate/tackle/poles/cooler). Easily lifted up onto the top of my vehicle. Not tied to launch ramps, although I use those sites for easy parking. I typically launch from the grass/sand on the side of the ramp, leaving the ramp for the bigger boats.
To pedal or Paddle... I've been looking at the Hobie Mirage pro Angler... anyone ever used this Kayak... I love to paddle but I'm afraid an old shoulder injury will impair my ability to paddle long distances. Plus I like the idea of "Handsfree" fishing. Anyone done a Trolling motor modification? Ideas suggestions welcome.
There is an older NuCanoe that pops up for sale cheap sometimes and you have to be careful not to confuse it with the Frontier. There was a bare one sold for $250 a few days ago near me (saw a thread on it).
The OP may want to consider Native Watercraft also. They have pedal yaks also. If you are convinced you want a pedal yak.
I like my dirt cheap light little plastic kayak for banging down rocky rivers in the Piedmont and I am building a fiberglass over ply yak for paddling through the breakers. I choose performance over stability. They aren't super unstable, but turn easier and go faster than equivalent length kayaks you can easily stand in. It's a tradeoff.
i wish i was down south.. it seems that where all the used ones are ... ive been seeing fully loaded frontiers for sale at a huge discounts
isnt a couple hundred dollars worth it to be able to stand and fly fish at will?
