10 ft sit in kayak

I am looking at getting a 10 ft  sit in kayak and am going to put outriggers on it would this be safe to use inside the harbor and in the sound? thanks

it's safer then swimming in a tank of hungry great white sharks...

you can't save up for a decent SOT ?...

An SOT is so much more stable, no need for outriggers, and give so much more usable space.  Why do you want a SINK?

one of my dads friends has one that they said i can have for cheap. they got it a couple years ago but never really used it.

If 10' is what you got, it's what you got.

 Actually, most TIS (Trapped InSide) boats are more stable as your butt in the bottom of the boat is a lot lower than in any SOT. If you do go over, it's a lot more involved in getting it back over and emptied though.

The other concern is that a 10' boat is slow. In other words, you reach hull speed really quickly and your pushing a lump of water no matter how hard you paddle.
That's a major PITA if you have to cover any distance especially against a current.

All that said, you can fish a pocket fishermen anywhere. I did this one a few years back and it'd be a good boat for anybody 70 lbs lighter than me. The question is do you really want too?

Pocket Fishin Yak

10ft! That's 11% longer than the one i use!  My mini-x is super stable but it's true you seem to get minimal glide.  Went out of Whittier in the saltwater Sunday.  Poor quality video to be posted later...

So far I love the mini-x but am drooling over a Hobie no thanks to this board.  Finally getting a rep in Alaska! Woohoo I am going to be poorer...again.

Saw this one. Don't know much about them but probably better then a 10 foot sink..Maybe not who knows. Is this close to you?

You know, I kinda fergot that "hull speed" applies to displacement hulls. The problem with my lil pocket fishin yak is that it IS a displacement hull with me in it.    Like kardinal_84 said, your concern with a short boat is the lack of glide after you stop stroking and not so much the lump of water that I am pushing.

That said, those craiglist boats look pretty juicy!    Be careful though. Folk down here are starting to steal boats and putting them on craigslist.

That sucks.  Couple years ago all you heard about on iFish was motors being stolen off boats.

I keep all my boats secured with Kryptonite!  Not that bolt cutters aren't effective but its always helped.

That's a sweet deal. Even if it doesn't come with a paddle or a seat.
