Does any know of anyone selling a touting kayak cheap?

If you're in the Adirondacks check out paddlefest. If you're coming up this way also check out Northern Outfitters in Utica they have a bunch of touring boats plus they are stored indoors.
In Florida check out Sweetwater Kayaks.

Alistair (or anyone else),

I have a Necky Kyook that I don't use much anymore after getting my Lost Pond Boat. The Kyook is a 15' boat, this one has no bulkheads and no rudder, but it would come with bow and stern bags for flotation plus a cockpit cover and spray skirt. I'm just outside of Burlington, VT but I could meet somewhere in the Eastern Adirondacks, preferably Putnam Pond, if you want to take a test paddle. But be forewarned it is not a touting kayak!

Thanks, but I'm realy looking for a day touring boat.

Not sure what you mean by cheap. Oak Orchard Canoe in Rochester is selling off 2005 models for $100 - $150 off list. Just picked up a Current Designs Kestrel 120 HV for $599 and an Old Town Dirigo 120 for $649. They also have used boats. Check Oak Orchard

Alistar,

I used the Kyook as a day touring boat probably 95% of the time. It's big, so it wouldn't be as easy to cartop as a 12' boat but it is also faster and roomier than a smaller boat. Check the for sale ads in your local paper.

Not sure what you mean by day touring kayak. Ordinarily recreational kayaks are 9 - 14 ft, day touring 14-16ft and touring are longer than that. You may mean that you are looking for a recreational kayak...
What length boat are you looking for?

I have a line on a Dagger Edisto - 14'.

Perception (carolina 14.5) with rudder. Has bouyancy chambers fore and aft and plenty cockpit room for fishing. Wilderness kayaks www.ems.com has nice open (light touring) kayaks perfect for fishing too.
