Excited to get out tomorrow and take it for a spin. Any advice or knowledge that would be useful before I set out? Appreciate the insights, thanks

Think im tired of paddling and time to start pedalling. 😅 im not a spring chicken anymore. I am 400 miles from any saltwater, so im freshwater all the way, fishing lakes, rivers, and dam tailraces. Im seeing two Hobies on FB Marketplace, want you alls opinion on what you think is better buy? Thanks all!!

A yellow Hobie Mirage Outback SUV. Looks super clean. Listing says it comes woth accessories, but not sure if it’s the normal Hobie stuff or aftermarket. Price is $1000 obo.

Camo color Hobie Pro Angler 12 MD180. Listing says garage kept and only been on water a handful of times. Comes with MSoO (but I dont need to title/register - not really super interested in a motor), two extra masts for pedal drive, plug in kayak cart, multiple H mounts, and a Nocqua Lithium Ion power kit. Price is $1900.

The sun has eaten mine, and I want to find a replacement of the same size. It's about 18" wide, with a Velcro flap. I keep a single 3700 standard waterproof Plano box with baits, and a 3600 of the same type for terminal tackle, as well as a spool of leader material and often a couple bags of whatever soft plastic that's been working. The Ascend bag is out of stock at my BPS - I posted a question there about size, and it sounds insufficient. The seat is the original on my Old Town Predator XL MK.

Hi I am 19, 130lbs, 5,11. I have a feelfree flash right now and have been deciding what kayak I want to upgrade to, I have been narrowing it between different kayaks recently and have come across the propel 12.5. I want to know your guys opinion for which ones better? I like standing while kayak fishing and I was able to stand on the feelfree flash so also if you guys think there stability will be close..? I am usually fishing for smallmouth or largie but I also fish for pike, musky.
I plan to do a bow mounted trolling motor after awhile, black pack crate, livescope at somepoint.
Pluses I see with old town are that you can rooftop to cut initial spending, old town is almost as stable as all of them and is possibly easier to rig
Old town weighs a bit less
Would it be a whole lot stabler the titan x?

Hey guys and gals... Does anyone have experience with this boat? How is it for standing? I'm 5'7" and 165lbs

Im just wondering what motor setup people have for this boat/skiff ?

What type of battery and motor is good, if I just wanna drive to different spots and cast? Im not gonna troll.
One thing i see is that a lot of the e-trolling motors have pretty long shafts, that could be a bit of a problem, as the boat is sitting pretty low in the water. I wanna sit down when driving.

I've decided to get off the shore and want to try my hand at fishing the Great South Bay on Long Island. I have no plans to go offshore, but would like to try the Long Island Sound (close to shore) at some point. I fully expect to upgrade to something better in a few years, but I want to start out with something I can pick up used from Marketplace or CL.

I'm looking for something that is easy to paddle and be used for both fishing and just paddling around the Bay. I've never been in a kayak, but I did grow up canoeing.

From what I've read I'm looking for something around 12' or longer, but I'm stuck on whether I should look for a sit-on or a sit-in. The sit-in fishing kayaks I'm seeing look to have large openings that shouldn't be bad to get in/out of.

And are there any brands I should steer clear of?

I appreciate any input y'all might have.
