Perry, thanks for the speedy reply and thanks for putting me on the right track. I'll get better at this.
To answer your question(s) Yes I do have dealers near me, and today as
a matter of fact I went to Malibu Kayaks and tried the xfactor. I have
not been on another Kayak so I have nothing to compare to yet, but it
seemed o.k. I am going to take a lesson with a friend down south near
La Jolla as that is where I am going to begin. I have a couple of contacts
that fish the area and I am all ears at this point.
My body style is the out of shape kind, but I am working on it. I am 6'2"
240 + or - a few, You know!
Comfort is my main concern, I will be out on the water many hours, that's
just my style of fishing. I am the first guy casting and the last one to reel in!!! I fish a lot of cattle boats, and long range stuff, I am sick of it!!!!!!

I as I stated earlier, I will be fishing La Jolla at first, until I gain confidence
and then the sky is the limit, but mostly offshore.

Thank you so much for taking your precious time to share with me, I will talk to you later!

Keith
