Re: Cobra Marauder?
Thanks Perry.
We should do that! Can we still buy bait at Cabrillo or do we hafta make it? I'm leaning towards this yak! Saw one in action at Dana testerday. The guy's friend was on his Fish n Dive. The guy was on his brand new(maiden voyage!) Marauder! He was running circles around his fish n dive. Perry, have you tried the X-Factor? When Iceman tokd me it was heavier that my Pro 2 Tandem , I dropped it like a hot potato. Maybe I shoulda tried it! Perry, pm me if you have a yak that's your absolute fave! Capisce?   Regarding Cobra, they're the best. Wes Ogle is a great guy. I recently took my fish n dive over to them in Gardena because a crack had developed. They repaired the crack, recaulked the hatches, went over the whole boat, gave me a tube of caulking, and Wes told me if the crack reoccurs, they'll replace the yak. Can't beat Cobra's guarantee/service!

Re: Cobra Marauder?
Jerry,
I am a bit familiar with the X-Factor. When Rik worked at MK, they wanted to make a kayak that would be in the same class as a Fish-N-Dive. Rik asked some of us for our suggestions and I was able to suggest a few things for it such as the 2" mounting rail around the cockpit, a tankwell that would have double recesses in it for a 5 gallon bucket in addition to a full size milk crate, and front carrier which was dropped but they came out with the Gator Hatch afterwards. I was able to use one and paddle it for awhile. It's a nice kayak, but I wouldn't consider it in the same class as a Marauder. You have mail. Perry

Re: Cobra Marauder?
Interesting about Cobra. I was going to buy a new Tarpon 140 but found my Navigator XF at a price I could not pass up. I sent a courtesy message to the OEX dealer and he sort of gave me a sour grapes reply stating that Cobra was out of business, did not have any warranties e.t.c. I can only surmise he is a bit peeved. He should not have been though as one of the other OEC franchises, beat his prices by $300 (he said, that at those prices, he must have been trying to sell me a used one, which I suppose could be true. but they sure looked new to me). Again, sounds like sour grapes to me.
I will still buy accessories from him though, he is a knowledgeble and nice guy otherwise. James http://www.bdoutdoors.com/forums/kay...ly-rigged.html
