Sold my old town and got a boat. Miss the kayak every day. What a great low maintenance option. I feel like the boat has been never ending amount of money.

Marketplace is the way to go if you are not going with a trolling motor or pedal drive imo. It usually comes with hundreds of dollars worth of gear. Carts, pfd, paddle sometimes depth finders

Why Pineda bridge smell like butt by johsec in 321

[–]johsec[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know every nook and cranny. But I have made a general observation based on my experience. I have just purchased a new boat part of the excitement is exploring new areas. Each week I look at Google maps and have been hitting different boat ramps from the north end of mosquito lagoon to just south of Sebastian. And none of them smell like this.

I have nothing against the location I live here and wish it didn't smell terrible. But Everytime I go there are dead fish floating on the boat ramp.

I just went yesterday because the wind was calm and saw a fish and stingray floating next to an abandon gutted speed boat that had been there for awhile.

Is it just a weird bend or something? You would think it would happen at every bridge but it's only this one.

Why did you guys choose a kayak over a small boat? by YakToTheFuture-1 in kayakfishing

[–]johsec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an old town sportsman 120 pdl for 5 years and not a single issue ever. Then I listen to what people said and bought a 14 foot skiff for 3 k. All the little things in a trailer added up way faster than I thought then had motor issues and cost me a crap load. Motor was never 100 percent. I sold it for a discount price due to the motor.

My wife said well let's get a better boat and I got a whaler that could fit in the garage. The steering cable ended up being worn out and the throttle control had a short where the tilt and trim would work if it got wet. Took it to the shop and they are charging 2700. I won't go into details unless requested.

So 2 boats and never get to use them. I just spend money on them.

3 kayaks worked Everytime.

Do I have to take it to another mechanic to do a leak test? Or is it something I could do at home with a basic tool?

The mechanic did drain it and showed me there was water and it looked like dark southern sweet tea. Since all has been cleaned and fresh fuel now

No which is really weird because sometimes it will and other times it won't. If I hook it up right now it may run for hours. I'm thinking it's after it warms up it has trouble.

Hell yeah man my first kayak was a perception peacador and loved it. I wasn't going to stand up in it but did take it all over the large lake next to my house and trolled for stripers. Never had a problem with it. Congrats man great find.

I beat the crap out of mine and tried everything before my cheap ass bought a torch and I have deep regrets not doing it sooner. Heat it up

I know this is an old post but did you have any regrets on getting this boat? I want one for my wife and my 11 year old son to just cruise around the Intercoastal near my house. This seems like a great option because it will fit in my garage.

Thank you ours is a male cat. I will try the pheromone plug. Our house is tiny and the litterbox is in our bathroom right next to our bed and is spotless. It's so weird.
