You also need a whistle or airhorn.

Nope. Although I highly recommend it:

CLASSIFICATION OF VESSELS
Class A----Less than 16 feet
Class 1----16 feet to less than 26 feet
Class 2----26 feet to less than 40 feet
Class 3----40 feet to less than 65 feet

SOUND SIGNALING DEVICES:
Every motorboat or vessel of Class 1, 2, or 3, shall be provided with an efficient whistle or other sound-producing mechanical appliance. Every motorboat or vessel of Class 2 or 3 shall be provided with an efficient bell.

we need to make a sticker for only those on the OB with yaks


Just played around on this, the sticker would be just the white oval with the lettering; kind of like the 13.1 stickers I see all over town.

I know they are much more expensive, but once you fish in a hobie it is tough to go back to any other
I love my outback. It is nothing to get around the marsh. I usually do 4-5 miles per trip. Nothing like traveling around an entire red fish pond fishing the bank without having to pick up the paddle once.

This is definitely the case. I started yak fishing during a summer I spent in St. Pete and it was required over there.

I know it's out of your budget but for Louisiana waters I don't think you can beat a KC kayak.
That said its about 700-800$ over your budget

Also don't make the same mistake I did and but a new kayak check our bckfc for the buy/sell/trade and they will be more than willing to help you get a good

+1 on bckfc. There are always people selling good used kayaks. Check la sportsman as well.

The KC is a good yak. But I sold mine and bought a Hobie Outback.
