They quit making the Marquesa. How much do they want for it? What kind of shape is in???
Their new REDFISH series and their Native line which includes the old Liquid Logic Manta Ray Line are really pretty nice boats. If you wanna check some boats out before you buy, Austin Canoe & Kayak is having their south demo days at the Texas Ski Ranch on i-35 Sept 27-28. |

I run a shop in up near the Woodlands and I would say it isn't a bad boat for the money but I would save alittle more and get into a better yak. The model you are looking at tracks well but it is alittle on the heavy side for the size. There are alot of models out there to choose from so try a few models before you settle on one.

| It really depends on what you plan on doing with the kayak...fishing shallow grass flats, going BTB, etc. Just something to think about. |

I would recomend trying out as many kayaks as you can before making a decision.
