Yes, another 'what boat to buy "thread:(
I have $1,400 to spend on a used OC1. I have done a little research & am leaning twords a Naia',Carbon hopefully. I have a Arrow & don't leave the canal or go out farther than I can swim in safely.
I've come across several Vantages,Pahoas, all HYPR Built, no Tiger Built:(
I would like a Zypher, but can't find 1. I'm 190lb,5'8". Thanks for any Input. I do t wanna have to be rescued or have a partner paddle in while I hang on-FAIL

Naia is good but try to find a Polaris or Blythe made Vantage. Have fun!

pretty good-sized guy. naia probably too small for you. hihimanu,polaris,vantage,fusion,zephyr for that price range.

If you stay California, get one Zepher on this website for sale with extras for $2700.00. No matter which canoe you buy, make sure you can get parts for it. Outrigger Connection still carry the iako screws for my Thunder.
