I recently sold my old Kayak and went out to replace it looking for a great deal.
My budget was for below $500. I started online looking and found a Field & Stream 12' Eagle Run Kayak at Dick's for $474 that fit my needs.
I was looking for big capacity as I am 279 lbs and plan to carry about 100 lbs. I also needed dry storage space for my gear as we paddle a couple of miles to reach the camp and need to bring our stuff. Another requirement was a sit inside kayak to keep dry when it's cold.
I purchased the kayak at Dick's for $474 and a matching paddle for $99. I took it out for a test on calm water a few days later and was happy. The kayak was faster than my old one and had better tracking also.
I plan to put it to use soon on a few day fishing trip.
Here is the specs:
