I've been thinking about it for a while. Since renting a kayak at the Thompson Boat Center on the Potomac. I've been scanning local listings looking for used for the past month and the choices seemed to be in the extreme. Top of the line stuff that I'm not sure I want to invest that much in yet. Or garbage. Stuff that had been beat to hell. REI is selling a Riot Quest 10 that was was reduced to $366 when it was placed in the cart. Reviews were fairly consistent with it being a good starter kayak. I pick it up Friday along with a paddle and PFD.
