Looking for a Lowrance ff/gps for my new Hobie Outback
It was only a matter of time when I was going to hang up the paddle on the side of the kayak.
My 2 Wavewalk 500s have been v good to me. However, I wanted a pedal yak to not only exercise my legs but to keep my hands free for casting & for longer trips in rougher water. Additionally, I needed a yak that would work w/ my existing vehicle & rack. I ruled out the Hobie Mirage Sport & the Native Watercraft Slayer Propel 10( both nice yaks) for not being long enough. I took a good look @ a near-mint used NW Slayer 13
& I wanted it badly but I couldnt get it to work for me due to its weight. But dang, it has gear tracks all over it. Perhaps, if I had a different vehicle that would of been a no-brainer for me. After fishing w/ friends who use this yak & the Outback I knew it would be one or the other when the time was right. Then, something told me to look @ Delaware Paddlesports fb page. I did & I noticed their demo Outback was available again so I contacted Brian & the rest is history. I just picked it up plus a couple other items( thanks Chris), took it out for a lil 3-hr moonlight pedal on the Nanticoke River, in Seaford, Delaware. Didnt catch any fish but I did hook into something big that got off twice & never showed itself. I'm thinking snapping turtle not ray. Anyways, now I need a ff/gps. I had always fished naked(ie, w/o a ff). I'm looking for a Lowrance... used is ok...& battery? I wish to track mileage too. Suggestions? I may need help hooking it up. Thx for reading this.
