I am looking for a used 10-12 ft. kayak that is not being used anymore or someone is wanting to upgrade.
I am mainly looking for a starter kayak for a friend, nothing fancy or special. I am not wanting to spend a lot
because I don't know at this time if she will stick with it or not. If any of the members know of something that would
fit this situation, I would appreciate any help. I will also be looking for a used pfd & paddle. I have been
watching the papers & newsletters but have not found what I need. I would appreciate any help MCC members can give me.
Thanks a lot.
