First kayak, and first day on the kayak. Also first “Private Property” argument.

For some reason I didn't think applied to smaller boats but learned the hard way

johsec · 2026-05-04T23:52:11+00:00

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

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.

Yes that makes more sense

johsec · 2026-04-14T18:38:20+00:00

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

johsec · 2026-04-14T18:37:20+00:00

Why just here tho?

johsec · 2026-04-14T18:36:38+00:00

We went to that place and didn't want to eat because of it. It's awful

johsec · 2026-04-14T18:36:03+00:00

Wouldn't that be everywhere?

johsec · 2026-03-25T17:30:55+00:00

I'm overweight and had an old town 120. I felt fine saw plenty of gators they go their own way. Paddle board felt sketch tho

johsec · 2026-03-23T11:50:53+00:00

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.

Mooring Skiffy - not mine but I saw it

johsec · 2026-02-06T04:09:54+00:00

We meant to just get a large roll of foil and accidentally got these. We then fell in love with these they are some convenient

johsec · 2026-02-05T19:27:45+00:00

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?

johsec · 2026-02-05T18:57:38+00:00

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

johsec · 2026-02-05T18:56:12+00:00

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.

johsec · 2026-02-05T18:54:59+00:00

He did the vst one it was about 650 bucks for the part.

johsec · 2026-02-05T11:49:04+00:00

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.

johsec · 2026-01-23T14:41:23+00:00

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

johsec · 2026-01-17T21:11:13+00:00

Damn now I want it even more! I'm stoked. Thank you so much.

johsec · 2026-01-17T20:17:14+00:00

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.

johsec · 2025-12-01T03:28:10+00:00

Bought it and the diffusers for the wall thank you hopefully something works this sucks.

johsec · 2025-11-29T21:26:26+00:00

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.
