My kayak is a sit on top, Lifetime Daylite 8', 225lb capacity. Perfect for me and for casual fishing, I found it on Facebook Marketplace for less than $100 in great condition. I would check OfferUp too but there prices are usually a bit higher. At some point I'll upgrade to a larger angler's kayak, but for now I'm extremely happy when I can just get out on the water.
Wolf, "this too shall pass". I go through seasons of difficulty in my life but always find that my HP drops me on my head exactly where I need to be, and life is good in spite of the challenges. You've got a lot of people here cheering you on
