Need some advise from some of you experienced in kayak fishing. I am planning to purchase a fishing kayak and really want a Hobie. What is a better kayak? What is the best deal? I am 6'2" and about 220 pounds and will be fishing near shore in the Gulf of Mexico on Alabama coast and in the Bay. I have found two used kayaks that I am thinking of buying. One is a 2009 Pro Angler 14. It has turbo fins, a fin bag, and ancor trolly that comes with it. It is in really great shape. The guy said he only used it 10 times and it shows. I can get it for $1,800.00. The other one is a 2011 Hobie Outback. The only thing it comes with is a kart. It is also in great shape. The only problem is the zipper on the back of the seat is corroded but not that big a deal. This guy wants $1,400.00 but I think he is a little flexable so I think it will go for $1200.00. What do you guys think is the better buy. Keep in mind I don't know how I will like kayak fishing so I want something that when I sell it I won't lose to much money on. Thanks, John H.
