Hey all! I'm BRAND new to kayaking, have never even been, but want to try! i have a small budget, and an '03 Mirage Outback came up for sale for $350. looks to be in good condition, but wondering how long can a kayak last outside? I live in North Bend, Oregon, so we are very wet, but don't freeze much...maybe one or two days a year. Otherwise 40-65 degree year around. Just curious your thoughts from the experts. I can afford a cheap kayak new, or this one with enough left over for a roller cart.
I'm a 50 year old female, btw. This is a Cadillac when I thought I was going to get a Yugo
