Free Kayak

[pbharvey]

I got the Kayak free two years ago from the kindness of another member here.
Here is the original post with pictures of the kayak:

Kayak 10’

I got this Kayak two years ago and used it once. I didn’t like it much. To me it felt unstable and I did not want to try fishing from it. It could have just been my lack of experience though. It a Pelican brand sold at Tractor Supply. I think it was the Angler 10 or something. Comes as pictured...

I got it to retrieve ducks in remote areas that were too far to carry my regular kayak. We carried this thing a mile and a half on one trip and it was fine for what it is. On shorter trips it wasn't worth the tradeoff off of a light bad kayak vs. taking our not as light good kayak. The problem is what it is is a kayak that can best be described as "this kayak sucks." The reason it sucks is it is snipey and tippy. I don't mind a bad kayak in warm water but I'm not a fan of one in cold water. Now you might look at this and say "oh look a little kayak, that would probably be great for my 10 year old son." Don't do it. Buy the kid something halfway decent that won't kill him.

If you tell me it's for your kid or wife I won't give it to you.
If you can't swim well I won't give it to you.
If you are one of those people who likes free stuff so they can sell it on Facebook marketplace I won't give it to you.

Pickup is in Howard County.

Lol 2 months ago i woulda done this and then offered mine for free. It’s similar but encloses past the knees. Instead i bought 15 cans of plasti-dip OD Green

 

[wpage]

That is a generous offer... If you lived closer would love to take you up on it. Looks decent for someone with experience.

 

[brianns]

I'll take it. I know where Howard County is. It's not for the purposes that would disqualify me.

Honestly, that is a great post! Generous but funnier than most of the humor ones.

It’s for my wife’s kid who can’t swim…

Disqualified?

Not if you sell it on Facebook marketplace and use the money to buy the kid swimming lessons.

The kayak has a new home with another Brian. If he owes you money collect it before he drowns.

Yup! Not sure about oweing any money but also not planning on drowning anytime soon. I do acknowledge the probability may go up with the advent of kayak ownership and plan to take deliberate steps to decrease the risk.

Suppose I tell you it is for my ex-wife?

I say if I bring it back to MDS possibly in the future for some reason and she's still your ex maybe reconsider. Maybe look into the bikes with those stirrup things like they tried on Brandon a while back.

Seriously, I'll take it if it's still up for grabs.
I actually would retrieve ducks in front of our shore blind.
Thanks, Ed

I’m the confirmed new owner. I’m definitely going to get in the water with it and use it and all that stuff. I hope any of my joking around after post 8 didn’t confuse anyone.

At what point does this kayak reach bongo status?

 

[welder516]

Maybe the tide will change and someone will take this kayak and sail away in the sunset, i am just floating the idea of this giveaway.

This never gets old

Or, maybe a contemporary Viking funeral(with or without corpus).

This is a small kayak and will not hold you and your balls. Sometimes "retrieving" to me means paddling 200 yards down river and shooting a cripple. This is not a good kayak to shoot from.
We used it on flat water in the first split and it sucked. I would not use it on bouncy water in the 2nd or 3rd split.
It's light and easy to carry though!

I'm sure you'll be able to use it next year after brianns upgrades.

Hmm, looks like I may need to chronicle this new adventure to figure out. I’m not expecting to use it as a bongo.

If I try that, I’d run into a bank or far shore of some of our manufactured lakes. I plan on kayaking around any tide to stay in flat water. Lol.

Hold that thought. My wife told me not to use it when she’s away and not able to notice me missing. She still remembers the time 2 lieutenants didn’t come back from the Neuse River till after dark and she called our CO after worrying. Then the sheriff. Buddy had a new bass boat, we went out after work without a lot of light to guide back in with. Man, I should tell the story sometime.

SHOOT WOODSTOCK'S CONGA DRUMS!

For a couple of years Maryland Shooters have been engaged to ponder the opportunity of a new lease on life. A simple listing in the For Sale or Trade section offered thousands of firearm enthusiasts a new world, an exotic affectation.... CONGA DRUMS! But alas, not a single user of Maryland...

2015 Duffy's Machine gun shoot Photo/Video Thread

I know I got Vince's blessing to post videos of the shoot on YouTube, but I hope it's okay to post some in your section here. If not, please let me know. The shoot was more fun than I ever imagined. Got to shoot some amazing guns that I can only dream of owning. I was also honored to be...

If the previous takers opt out I'll take it and use it for myself.

I can swim but I prefer to float.
