Seriously as mentioned the Kingies are a great inexpensive yak to get out on the water, sure there are cheaper but imo they are crap
Disagree Bill, for the price they are a fantastic entry level all purpose yak. For near $800 you will get a yak, trolley, paddle and seat and a couple basic rod holders. 10 year warranty on hull. Australian made. Factory in Seaford sells seconds which can reduce the price a bit. Good storage and good resale value.

Thats my opinion, next I would look at Malibus at BCF, they look well set out fishing yaks and they are new models. There are always good yaks in the for sale section of the forum, so keep an eye out.

Sorry Bill, I read it as though you thought the kingies are crap. I think they are a good yak to get into yak fishing with. Sorry fellow PA owner. Now my son wants to get Fish chompin stickers like yours, so I guess its a visit to ebay. Cheers Bill.

No probs Geoff, the trouble with a lot of the cheap yaks imo, is that they lack stability and are not very well designed for cutting through the water. The Kingies are a great yak to start with or even to hold onto.
Anyway get some "fish chompin" stickers on the yak mate and put your glasses on next time you read a post :lol:
Cheers Bilby.
PS Yellow yaks go faster than Moss ones.
