I started a thread last week asking for a little guidance on purchasing my first kayak. You guys had plenty of great input and with all of that in mind, I went up to Hook1 first thing Saturday morning ready to buy a boat.
Everything I've heard about Hook1 was spot on. I dealt mainly with Chris and another younger guy who's name I can't remember. They were both very helpful and patient with all of my questions. I think I spent a total of three hours or so up there between asking questions, testing boats, and getting everything set up. Not once did I feel rushed or pressured to buy a particular boat. I ended up deciding between a Ride135, Ride115x, or a Native Slayer 12. They were all really nice but I went home with the 115x with the high seat option. For what I do, I think it will be a great fit.
I was able to get the boat all set up Saturday and take it for a quick paddle on Priest. Today, I spent about 10 hours in the seat on the Caney. Fishing was a bit slow and the crowds were crazy but the boat did great. I can't wait to get out and fish some of the kayak tournaments coming up soon. Thanks again for all of the input.
