A friend. :lol: I suppose it should be Lovig Maverick - not loving Maverick - - :roll: I see the confusion.

Apparently my personality already socially isolates me, so I am ahead of the virus prevention curve :oops:

Sorry Rob, back on track now - I haven't used one. Have you tried any of the facebook groups?

Had a quick look at SLH - not a bad rig at the current special price. 2 seat heights would make paddling easy (down low) and the sitting back on the high setting when anchored. Plenty of storage and rod holders. No idea about the stability but they look good for the price.

Hi Robert, i bought the lovig Maverick a coupoe of years ago and found it to be an excellent fishing yak, very stable although i never used the higher seat setting, however it is somewhat a barge to paddle, not saying you can't cover the k's but when it's not flat you work hard ;) I made several modifications to mine to suit my application, all posted on here in the DIY section.

Although I've taken mine offshore it's really more suited to the bay, depending on your purpose either of the 2 lovig yaks I would definitely recommend for a cheap yak :thumbsup: im 20k out of Geelong so if your around this area your welcome to try mine out or give me a call and ask questions :thumbsup:
