Neal Lewis Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Business is booming here in North Jersey, so I decided I need a new recreational interest to spend time and money on. I picked up a couple of kayaks earlier this summer and have been out every single weekend. Just need two more for the rest of the family. I never realized there are so many beautiful lakes within a short drive. Even been on the Hudson River. Now I understand why people are so into spending time on the water, although I think I'll stick with the non-motorized variety.

Brad Manor Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Nice boats Neal! I started paddling kayaks with my Dad 20 years ago (I've been paddling canoes almost since birth, like a good Canadian). I can't think of a better way to spend one's free time. -Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Katen Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 So Neal, that picture looks so appealing I find myself wondering what a tupperware kayak sells for these days? - Jim Katen, Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Lewis Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Jim, I paid $700 on sale for the Pungo 120 12 footer, complete with a dashboard & 3 cupholders. About a thousand complete with car rack, paddles, life vest. I bought a second Old Town kayak for $350, but it was crap. Slow in the water and drifted a lot. Retuned it and got a second Pungo. John, I don't think I'm doing any rolls, but we did find a great rope swing at one lake. Haven't done that in a few years.

Tom Raymond Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Neal, When you get the itch to go fast, build one of these... http://oneoceankayaks.com/index.htm ...or these http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/guillemot/ ...or these http://yostwerks.com/ Just don't plan on hitting the water too soon, I've got over 200 hours into one for my son and it's a good 60 hours away from floating. Tom Nice shots btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
