Lifetime tamarack 120

[Cooter]

Anyone have one?  Last year they ran them on sale for $200 at the local farm n fleet.  That happens again i might have to gets me one!

Looks like a good deal on a decent boat. Fished out of a yak last month. Going to stick with my solo canoe for now, but I could see adding one to the fleet somewhere down the road. And at that price it wouldn't be a tough sell at home.

 

One thing I will make sure of, that it has good back support. Even after an hour or two fishing in these pretty waters, my back was like "get me outta here"

$200 is almost like free for a yak.  Pretty low risk venture there for trying one out.

 

Only problem I might be leery of with an economy yak is, like Duff said, the comfort factor.  There's more effort to make the paddler comfortable in the more expensive models.

 

I paddled a rental once and didn't care for it.  I tried a friends 12 foot fishing yak and thought a lot better of them.  I bought my 13 footer and don't regret it one bit.  I prefer it to a canoe any day for being out by myself.  I don't know anything about Duff's solo canoe so I can't say it's better or worse but they seem kinda cool too.

Bought one, planning on a maiden voyage this weekend.

Good luck, have fun and stay topside this time of year.

Ugh, in the process of moving.  Will try to get out soon and post an initial verdict.
