Thats a shame you've decided to sell it so soon. I know the second hand value of sit-on-tops is high but you have invested time and extra money in rigging her.

 

Good luck with the sale. Will be a good buy for the larger paddler & newcomers to the sport.

after paddling a p13 I realised that the Drifter was too big for me!

 

It is a great kayak for someone bigger like you say or for flyfishing and I am only small and I dont fly fish.

 

I bought it as my first kayak and to see if i liked kayak fishing.

 

It is a very stable kayak, would keep if I could afford to.

To get an idea of what you are after, prise wise. How much roughly would be the right price and could you arrange delivery ?

 

As a big guy this would be great as my first yak.

 

Cheers

I have never paddled one, but will there be that much difference?

YakDiver: I have both, and there is a difference, I will choose the prowler every time, cos....

It's faster, it tracks better, it's drier, it cuts through the waves like butter, and there is less hull slap. I also like the screw top hatch.

How weird is that... I've just sold my P13 to get a Drifter!

Personally, the Drifter is alot more stable than the P13 but suffers from a wetter ride. I havn't noticed any difference in speed at all, in fact I was thinking the Drifter felt like it was slightly quicker?!

 

It's a very personal thing buying & paddling kayaks and even after a summers worth it can be a minefield.

[MJB]

Maybe you just have a fat ass Steve?

[MJB]

Ha ha ha,

 

Coming from MJB - that is quite funny.

 

Come on Mary, Buy it - we all know you are just itching to get into a yak.

 

All the best

Are you suggesting I don't have a pert butt that is firm enough to crack walnuts between my cheeks? I'm still wearing my shorts 'kiwi style' on a Sunday morning too!

 

I would buy a yak, just to make Lord Griffiths of Kent dine on his prowler. I fear that this one won't be in my price range though.

MJB, can't believe what I've just read, give Stu a try on price, you might be surprised... will Jamie want some ketchup with it
