Answer 1

go to ebay.com or visit used sport stores, they'll be able to help you. And they have all sort of price so you'll probably find something.

Answer 2

Buy Mine. I have a Dagger Honcho For sale. asking 350

Answer 3

I've been a kayaker for over a decade, if I needed a cheap boat, I would get a hard plastic one, they are the best, something wtih a nice fit complete with thighbraces, seat, backbrace of some kind, and foot pads.  You should look at used ones at various shops, just search for local kayaking shops and go there on yahoo or google locals.  they go for as low as 250 and as high as 700 bucks used.  For a begginer, you should start out with a white water river runner, they are well rounded and you'll learn a lot in them.  If you decide you'd rather go white water just get a playboat anytime, since used kayaks hold their value unless you dent them badly, you can usually get the price you paid for them or higher.

Answer 4

Answer 5

try amazon or ebay

Answer 6

try ebay or the classfieds in your local paper. possibly place an ad stating this what you are looking for. probably avoid stating price so they don't tell you they have one for 400 when they originally only wanted 300 for example

Answer 7

No you don´t need it, but you are welcome if you want to spend your money in buying one.

Answer 8

Sea kayak? Slalom or touring? Start with either a fiberglass/resin or rigid plastic model. Inquire at kayak clubs. Check with American Canoe Association for a local club. Inflateables ought be avoided.

Answer 9

Did you try cregslist?  or check the penny saver or even the news paper.

Answer 10

Check E-bay. It would probably have the best prices. or doba.com maybe even better.
