Lookig for a single yak to do the following in order.
1 Fish in rivers and creeks.
2 explore while not fishing, but also carry the 6 year old daughter.
3 Fish the close reefs in the open waters around the Sunshine Coast.

Would also like it to have plenty of storage, be easy to handle for a first time yaker, option to fit rudder and elec motor.

Could you please give us some ideas and post up some pics of suitable yak's. I like the look of the Viking tempo, but that's about all i've viewed.

NOBOAT if you want a motor lots of room i think the tempo would be the best set up. mark

Heya Noboat,

Agree with MS, the Tempo would suit you well if you are wanting to fit an electric and also carry a young one.

Macfish has one for sale at the moment in the for salesection going at a VERY keen price, send him a PM.

He's based near Brisbane.

noboat agree with the other blokes re the tempo, and the Macfish yak can be regarded as 'as new, and can be seen in pics in wivenhoe dam reports and is the blue yak http://www.akff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3144

Brought the bright blue Macfish rig off him today. Had to ask him about this site as I had lost the url in my favorites [my bad].
All is good, took it for a paddle in Currimundi lake with the daughter sitting in the back no prob's. Had a few prob's with the sounder not reading bottom, but I did fiddle with the settings, so maybe it's a ID10T error. May take the tranducer out and clean it up as macfish must of used $100 worth of silicon to bond it to the inner hull. lol. No wonder he didn't want to throw in the paddle with the sale, had to recoup the $$ spent somehow. lol
Performes well and is nice and stable yak with plenty of room. A little slower than expected and a little heavier too, but ya got to compromise some where with an allrounder.
For what I wan't and the price I paid I'm one happy customer and it suits my needs. Ya think he would of thrown in at least a six pack with the sale, lol, but he drives a hard bargin, and good on him for that. Hope he gets the yak he wants, I know I have.
Thanks.

I used to have a boat, a stink boat, but then I sold it a long time ago.
So then I had noboat, and then I bought a yak, so I still have noboat, but I do have a yak and I will catch fish again like I did in my boat, but i'll have more fun, more money and a better fittness level as I will do it all out of a yak. lol
So to sum things up, I still have noboat
The end

noboat congrats on the new yak mate you wouldn't have bought any better buying a new one.
Another suggestion think about putting the yak into your signature in your profile now you have one
