I'm in Tassie at the moment. Just looked at a couple of 2nd hand sea kayaks.
Both not suitable for paddling the Whitsundays for 10 days.

Cheapskate me.... my budget [or maybe challenge] is to find one under 1000... 2 to look at in Melbourne on the way home both Apostles....

Know of anything suitable??

Why don't you hire/buy some from saltydog sea kayaking up here?

www.saltydog.com.au

Bought our ECO BEZHIG and CURRENT DESIGNS - STORM secondhand from Neill years ago and they performed beautifully in these conditions.

Good luck with some kayaks in your budget ;)

G'Day Royce,
Have a look at www.kfdu.com.au There is always something for sale there.

I just won an EcoBezhig with paddle and skirt... for $800 off ebay. Then the seller calls to say that he had already sold it the night before. AAArrgh!

I could buy or rent of Salty dogs but want to have my own to set up as I like and get used to paddling.

Looking at a couple of Dagger Apostles for around the right price on Monday,

Ask the guys on Tassie paddlers- http://www.tassiepaddlers.net/ if your in Tassie and looking for a yak. Simmo has a fair idea of whats around.
Abit more than you want to spend but this would be awesome around the Whitsundays.
