Lobo Angler:
Well, I've pulled the trigger on a kayak. After renting several, the PA, Revo, and Outback I decided that the Revo was the one for me. I stalked Craigslist for several weeks and ended up finding a Revo 16 a short drive down the interstate in Eugene at a great price. I was hoping to get one with reverse but I couldn't pass up the deal I got on a 2015 version. It came with a decent fish finder and the outrigger setup as well as a pole holder and the tracks installed.
Hauling it in my short bed Tacoma with the bed extender. After having it on there at this height I decided I like it with the T-bar adjusted to it's taller setting (~12 inches higher) which gets the stern and flag up about 2 feet higher and much more obvious for the person following me:

Here it is on the cart I built from a set of crutches my kid had to use:
Now I've got to get in the pool and learn self rescue, hoping to get up to the Vancouver Marshall Pool this afternoon or maybe hit Tualatin Aquatic center next Sunday.
Then I'll be hoping to tag along on some fishing trips with some of you!

For some odd reason I can’t see the photos I get a gray box with a white circle that has a - in it ??? Once you got the warm water re-entry figured out we can launch you in the bay and you can practice a few cold water entries in the safety of the harbor. Then it’s time to fish!

I’m in the same boat as jojo. Congrats regardless.

really weird but I saw the photos when the post was first made but now I only see the icon too.
