Essex don,t know if it makes me better or not, Johnson Outdoors are aranging to have my P13 collected at their cost and a new P15 in yellow at my door this thursday/friday. Also thankyou again Starvinmarvin for the name tel number, Andrew was very very helpful indeed. terry

Update, thanks to an e-mail from david who placed me in contact with johnson outdoors,this is the deal, around 250 P13 kayaks have leaks, this only comes to light when the kayak is used and weight is placed on the unit for the 1st time. Anyway Johnson are picking up the P13 and replacing it at their expense, I am happy with that, BUT PEOPLE WATCH IT IF YOU DEAL WITH KAYAKS AND PADDLES, customer care, I don,t think so. terry

Well I am returning the kayak and getting my money back tomorrow, but can,t spend over 600 pounds on a flooting sand pit, thanks for the offer anyway.terry

Well I took the kayak the second time and it floats like U56, after 1/2 hour 1 gallon of water inside. On returning to dry land I rang Kayaks and Paddles at Plymouth only to told I would need to wait a week for a replacement, and it would be at my cost to return said goods, a round trip of 100 miles, not good. In fact when asked if they knew of a fault with the Prowler and if they had any returned they stated they knew there was a fault but were selling them anyway, and know they had not any returned, I know of two that have been returned to this very shop. I will collect my kayak, test it and if its no bloody good get my money back and never deal with these people again. People out there in the words of stg from hill street blues 'be careful out there'and best to leave this company alone. terry

Hi I like the look of the above, but there again I like anything that someone builds with their own hands, If I may I will copy the above design, I use to work for a company that used lots of aluminium, maybe able to get some when I am in oxon and copy your design, will need to use bolts as don,t have tig welder these days. also like bills to but the price with all the postage add ons, someone needs to go to the us and buy us all the things we need or just buy us things ;-) I must say it makes me mad the price we buy over here for our hobbies yet the yanks have better gear at 1/2 the price.terry

did I hear 1st Gulf warm well did I hear it, went there with RAOP troop, its a long long time ago and I can,t beleive we are back there again. sad just sad.

hi pugs, your name caught my eye, you don,t happen to own a pug do you???? also I see you are interested in tanks, what type ww1, ww2 or all. terry

Bill will ring you tomorrow, the trip out was a bit bumpey but fun, there is a big leek in the kayak and I don,t mean me. All you lads who are game for brixham for some fishing, well done we you can all past any useful tips to me because I do need them,lols terry

Sound good to me, But I bet I never win the pool,lols terry

Hi all got my fishing gear up together and while her in doors is up north I am planning to get out on the water this afternoon, to hell with the DIY who needs kitchen worktop anyway,lols. wish me well terry

great pic,s wish I had been out there with you, and thanks for the tip on the red wool, As I understand it flounder like movement near the hook, I have tryed coloured beads after reading about them in total sea fishing, they worked for me. be good terry

The PC mod win again, makes me sick, thank god I am leaving this 3rd world country.

Again the PC company wins out again, Yet its far from me to be the bearer of sad tidings but if you look at the figures just like the red squirrels white English folk will be out numbered within 20 years and thats not counting the vest numbers still flowing in. I for one am planning to leave this very very sad country, And please don,t anyone say that the English our a bastard race, I know but its always been the strong that have mixed. The PC mod have just given this country away.

Hi, I understand that exmouth is good for flounder, is that correct??? and are they around at the moment does anyone know, thanks terry

Bill, I don,t have your tel number, the dogs had it, who would have pugs they think anything paper is a toy to chew up,lols my tel number is 263366, i am around this weekend bar saturday. terry

Hi, thans all, but tell me what part of this kayak are the scuppers, heard of them but no idea of what part of the boat etc they are, always had the idea that this was the part the water drains from the deck, but where on a kayak, and what am I looking for???

Hi all, for family reasons I found myselve heading upto the lakes over the weekend, with the kayak on the top, having just picked it all up. during a break in my family duties I was able to take the kayak out on the coniston for a bit. Its a Prowler 13 angler edition. during my bit of a paddle around 1/2 an hour or so. I returned to find a lot of water had shipped into the hull, it must come down the rod hodders, is this normal??? there must of been 1/2 a gallon or so, no wonder I was slowing down,lols. any help would be great. thanks terry

Hi Mad Yakker, the answer is NO, she is up north at the moment and I am down south, and a kayak on top of a new model engineering lathe will just put her over the top,lols What part of OZ are you in Mad, I have family in melboune, been out there one myselve but just could not get on with the place, i love history to much, I just wish we had the fishing and a bit more space here to enjoy, Begood terry

Hi Chuggs, I am new to the area, Ladram?????? is that near me, I am planing to take it out for a little bit of a go tomorrow if I have the diy done by then. Yakity are we on for going out, can you let me know, thanks all terry

Starvinmarvin, you just don,t know her,lols

Hi, I would ju]t like to share the fact that I have just picked up my new toy. A Prowler 13 anglerm and dry trousers, top etc, and not forgeeting the BA. I went to Kayaks and Paddles and got 10% discount off the total, not bad realy and a nice person to deal with. I just hope the sun keeps shinning and that her in doors don,t notice that big yellow thing on top the car.lols

Thanks for that, I always return what I catch, hopefully they will fight another day, You can just tell that I am from up north a bit can,t you, anyway hope to pick up all the gear by the weekend or even today if B&Q show up with my kitchen worktops. terry

Thanks for that Simon, The bass will be going home now the waters getting colder, where is a good spot for winter fish. I have seen Yakity Yak amd yes he is a good man and knows his stuff. Nowever all information from all the forum is useful to build up a picture, I realy don,t like the idea of cutting up crabs for bait, and would like to use lures etc, Its a bit late for fly, so what is open to me??? terry

Hi, well I am taking the step and buying a kayak, having just moved down to exmouth and finding that having a large boat is a pain to own here, I think and hope that a kayak will answer all points, ie make me a bit fitter with all that paddling and 2nd get me out to those fish, I can,t cast for toffee,lols. So whats going to be out there around the estary for me to have a go at??? any ideas, terry

Hi, the pic,s look great, just wish i had been there. fishing as it should be. may i ask what reel you used, and line. thanks terry
