Hello everyone, I have been considering getting a kayak for day trips and exploring the waters around west florida. I have a lot of experience with whitewater kayaking, but this will be my first time doing more of the “touring” type of paddling. I found a trophy 144 sit in kayak on Facebook marketplace within my $500 budget (the boat itself is $300), which is more of a fishing kayak, but i would use it primarily for day trips and longer distance paddles.
Is this a good boat for getting into day-trip kayaking? Any advice or experience with boats like this would be appreciated!
