Title: Wanted: Fishing Kayak
Post by: dufflayer on February 15, 2015, 02:41:03 PM: Hi there,

I am looking for a deal on a kayak. Located in Mackenzie, willing to drive a ways to pick it up. (eg. FSJ, Dawson Creek, Quesnel, Smithers.)

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to buy a kayak when you live in Mackenzie.

Let me know what you've got!

Thanks!

They sure can, but they almost exclusively carry Pelican brand boats which I have found to be of dubious quality - especially considering what you pay. Would rather drive 200km for a deal on a good used boat than a new one that I'd be unhappy with.

I bought the cheapest pelican one from CT I could find, fitted it with rod holders, paddle holders and an anchor system. Used lots, it's holding up fine.

Also try western canoes and kayaks as they sometimes have demos for sale. Craigslist is your best bet Though.
