You talking about my yak pic? It's a Feelfree Moken 14 but with the camp job it could be mistaken for a Jackson. It is much awesome. It's made for blue water, and I take it about once/week around Deer Island, Joppa Flats, Nahant, and pretty much all around the Noahth Shoah. I went out into Boston Harbor channel and fished with the serious boats once, but fighting the rip was tough, and even with all the "don't crush me Me Powerboater" gear on, it's a little intimidating.

Gene, LOL on the young man's game comment. I don't combine them.
I like this thread! I'm learning a lot from the other guys. That Jackson kayak pic in one of the posts was pretty SICK! I want one. Who's boat is that? It looks like a fish'n machine.
