I am planing to buy my first kickboat, and I was wondering if anybody had any sugestions of buying one. They have one at Outdoor Pro Shop called Water Skeeter, I was wondering if anyone knew if that was a good kickboat. Any suggestions will help I am really anxious of buying one.
I think it's a reasonable boat for the $.How much do you want to spend?I have a versa vessal and while a little pricey(around $1,000.00)It is awsome.You can look at the creek co boats too. Swampy
You should really check out the creek co odc 816.It's in that price range (I think) and I know some folks who are quite happy with them.The thing you want to consider is what material the frame is made of.Aluminum is best and alot lighter than the steel frames.I believe the water skeeter has a steel frame and is alot heavier. Good luck in your search and get out ther and fish. :7 Swampy
I agree with swampy I would check out The Creek Company ODC 816 it is a great boat. Also Creek Company has a great warranty on their products and is a sponsor of the BNT Opens.
The waterskeeter is a great boat for the money. They are heavier but they are extremely durable. Guys that have both seem to be very happy with them so either the odc or low end water skeeter would be a good choice.
Well here is my little 2 cents. I like my watterskeeter Day tripper it’s extremely comfortable. It’s a pontoon/float tube. One other thing I like about watterskeeter is they have GREAT customer service ill just say that without going into details but I will say it did involve the word free witch is always good. I just purchased a creek CO odc 1220 (huge 2 man kick boat) and actually used it for the first time today its nice but will take a little getting use to. Although this is my first kb I like the Odc seirously they seem to work well I’ve heard nothing but good things about the ODC 816 is a very popular here. But if you really want a long lasting long term kb I would seriously look into a versa vessel they are $#^%ing awesome. Here are some links to some nice kbs for ya hope this helps
