Once you get past the obnoxious social distancing comments there is some really good tips in here. The idea of buying a used quality boat over buying a new bargain basement boat is something I wish more people would heed. Makes for a much more enjoyable paddling experience.
Is a used Riot Seahunter Tandem kayak for $400 bucks too good to be true kind of deal or would that fair for a used one? I see they are over $1,000 new
I found a used lifetime tamerak for 100$ but it’s got a big dent in the bow/hull. I’be never owned a kayak and I’m on a budget so it’s tempting . The seller says it doesn’t leak but I’m still skeptical. Should I pass on it?
My Dad had a rule he made us memorize - "If you have a doubt, there is no doubt." Basically, trust your instinct. I think yours is telling you to pass.
Thanks for the videos we used the information you gave to buy my grandson he’s first kayak
Glad to hear it!
Good information and Chris knows his stuff so you can't go wrong with him.

I agree. My first kayak was used.
Good topic! I’m thinking about buying a couple used kayaks for my kids for this summer.
Great video.
Though that measuring tape looker rather slack. I dont know if a proper 6' was maintained..

Great tips thank you!
