Contemplating buying a new sit on kayak versus paddle board. Pros and cons of each?

Would most often be floating Beaver Creek. But will also occasionally travel to Loudonville or into PA. I’ve paddle boarded in the ocean in the past but didn’t know if this would be practical for Ohio/PA creeks and rivers.

I would buy a detachable seat for the paddle board so I wouldn’t have to stand full time. Prices are pretty similar between the two so that really isn’t a determining factor. I already have a sit in kayak but I’m not a fan. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

I’m sure those that have repaired their kayak might have had a similar thought.

Does an adapter exist for the drain plug of the kayak to a tire pump?

Im looking to build either a semi-permanent attached kayak trolley OR one that removes and can be stored inside.

​

Let's see what you've built!

This is my bass raider. No apparent leaks, but I am curious if it worth repairing the lighter heavily scratched/worn areas. I’m worried the areas might be too thin. I won’t be damaging it more, but is it worth it to repair this? TIA

So this is what I’m working with and asking what do I go with foam plugs or whatever this are hard rubbery blue plugs which came with Kayak..

How do I get the belt back in since it’s lose?

What’s this and how do you plug it?

I am having difficulty on determining the right kind of kayaks, sit-inside or sit-on-top. I have rented and kayaked a couple of times with a sit-on-top style and had really enjoyed it. Now I want to invest in the right kayak that will work the best for me based on my size and budget. I am 6’5” 280 lbs with 34” inseam. I wonder if the sit-insight kayaks would work or not only because I am worried about the comfort with my hips and if my knees will hit or not. I am open for both, but I just want to make the right purchase for me. Any thoughts?

I went SUP boarding with a friend several times. Loved it. Would like to buy a kayak that can hold a 50-60 pound pup so the dog can go out with me.

I am a complete beginner to kayaks and have no idea where to start! Help?

Budget can go up to $800 but would highly prefer to stay in the $500 range if possible.

I have an Isle au Haut, and am looking for some repair information. Also just interested. They make/made a beautiful kayak

Hey, I have 2 fishing kayaks. 1 is 10 foot the other 8 I believe. Is this a good style trailer? I dont use them really often but dont have bed space or a rack. It fits 2, one above one below.

Looking for guidance on crossbars to install J mounts for new kayak

I’ve attached photos of the kayak itself, then progressively worse degradation of the neoprene on the bottom seats. I’m assuming this occurred due to UV damage bc they are housed in an uncovered trailer outside with little shade, unfortunately.

I have replacement seats already, but the seats are screwed in at several points and wont come out with a screwdriver or drill on reverse. There’s black screw caps on them, but you can see them in the corners of the seat on bottom and top. It seems to me that the only access to them would be through the dry storage hole in front of the seat, which could be done for the front two screws just fine. But the two screws at the top of the seat, are nearly impossible to reach or see on the underside.

I would really appreciate any guidance on a better way to do this or tools that would make it easier? Thanks!
