I am looking to get a my first kayak to run some hill country rivers, the coast (inshore marsh), and ranch tanks. Would I be making a mistake not getting a pedal drive right off the bat? Would adding a trolling motor to a paddle yak compensate for the lack of pedal drive?
I have a really bad tendency to want to buy the best of the best, even when its not all that much better. I really dont want to spend a bunch (would like to stay around 1k since I have to get all the basic kayaking essentials on top of this cost), but the other part of me is afraid I may be cheaping out. Buy once cry once, or get a good 1k kayak, hit the water and learn for a bit then upgrade later? Any insight on this from the experienced guys would be awesome!
