None had any prices on them so I was able to get an employee to determine the price for a Pelican ProFisher-12' single seat kayak/stand up paddle board at $397. It was easily the largest kayak of the group of 20, so probably it has the highest price.

Is it a kayak, or is it a stand up paddle board designed for fishing? What is it? It has a large beach chair style seat, a large stand up spot, four fishing rod holders and looks by design and size to be plenty stable for stand up paddling and fishing, plus a large sit down seat as already mentioned. Probably, knowing what I know ...... it's a kayak with stand-up fishing/paddling capability?

Weight ...... maybe 55-lbs, which is not very light weight, and just a guess? Color ..... darkest dark green. Capacity ..... one large comfortable looking seat with a high back for one person.

No State of NH registration, insurance, or gasoline needed ...... just you, a pfd, a whistle, and a paddle.

Here's a question for the forum experts: Is there a low priced stand-up bimini sun/rain top made for a vessel like this that's about 30" wide or is a large el cheapo Mexican straw sombrero the best for blocking out that hot NH sun while fishing the big lake?

Couldn’t you rig up a super awesome Bimini top using your favorite Walmart foam noodles and a tarp from Heath’s while grabbing some free coffee?

Say, fll, while you are at it, maybe you could slip in a Chevy short block, geared to a short shaft with a three-blade stainless steel prop, and maybe some trim tabs. In case of rain, you can be home by the time the first drop hits you.

I may be wrong but I thought the free coffee was at Rands Hardware in Plymouth and Heaths charged $0.25 but had a super duper paper cup?

You may be correct....Of course if you go buy a super el cheapo pack of coffee cups at Walmart then try to fill your own cup at Heath's when they aren't looking you can bring your cost down!

Don't forget to stop at St. Vincent de Paul in Laconia for some 4 year old Ramen noodles, which are totally enjoyable from his million dollar view down the broads from Meredith Neck

Before the winter I asked if it was ok to leave my kayaks outside all winter. Well, I built racks at my beach to hold them and I put them on the racks upside down so that they wouldn't fill with water.
I went down in the middle of the winter and they blew off the racks and were covered in the snow. I guess I should have strapped them to the racks.

You just have to love the irony in all this though, just think of the shellacking that will come to that waterfront tax bill once that gold plated DPW building cost hits in Meredith. Awe ain't that a shame. There goes that SS check. Amusing isn't it?

Especially if it puts the bill over $10.000.00 Sorry nothing allowed for over the 10k max deduction.

Well, well, well ..... looks like the other Ozark Trails ProAngler-12 ..... over at the outdoors Plymouth-Walmart display area done went and got itself sold off to some unknown buyer for $497.

About two weeks ago, a new load of about 20-kayaks done showed up there, including 3-brands and about 6-styles of kayaks ...... and two weeks later ..... the only two having been sold are the two biggest and most expensive ones in the group. One was a camouflage small mouth bass color, and one was dark gray/green, and they is both sold, now!

Is there someting like a nation wide shortage of Ozark Trails ProAngler-12's out there or what?

Now, just ain't dat someting! ..... check out the home made produced, stability test video .... on you tube .... the tag from the manufacturer describes this model as a combination sit-down paddle kayak with a large, comfy seat plus also as a stand-up fishing platform ..... which probably allows for it to get paddled while standing up like a sup with either a two blade, or a single blade paddle ..... is so very interesting ..... what will they tink of, next?
