Super User HoosierHawgs Posted November 20, 2015 Super User Posted November 20, 2015 Know nothing about Wilderness Systems, but I know they do have a good reputation on here. Someone has posted a local Craigslist ad for a Ride 135 with all the fixings here: http://tippecanoe.craigslist.org/spo/5312360088.html Is this a good deal? I bet I could probably haggle a little with him, what would be a great deal, if I could negotiate it with him? Thanks, Hoosier Quote

And wow, he's throwing a lot of stuff in with it. Looks like a good deal to me. 1 Quote

Super User Darren. Posted November 20, 2015 Super User Posted November 20, 2015 What's the price of a stock Ride 135? Going rates at Austin Kayak - just over $1K to $1400 http://www.austinkayak.com/search/systems%20ride%20135 Quote

I'm going to be doing some research on the finder (200 bones at Gander Mt) and the paddle before I make any decisions on heading to go see it. I might have to see if he is negotiable. 1 Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted November 20, 2015 Super User Posted November 20, 2015 Not a bad deal. I came close to buying a gently used 135 off Craigslist about a year ago. I hesitated after I went and looked it over - and after I tried to lift it. I ended up finding a new Tarpon 100 (w/paddle, rod holders, flag, etc.) from a local dealer for under $500 at a mid-winter sale. Glad I did. I'm not as young as I was when I was younger Putting the Tarpon on my Montero and Durango is pretty close to my max. I'd love that 135, but for me, I'd probably need a trailer. 2 Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted November 20, 2015 Super User Posted November 20, 2015 Each time I look at the listing, I see something I missed before...toss in the PFD, the roof rack, the FF.....etc, it is looking better all the time. 2 Quote

Yes, and like Choporoz said, you've also got a good PFD, roof rack, etc. Looks to be very good deal Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted November 21, 2015 Super User Posted November 21, 2015 you can get one brand new from appomattox for 900 or 960 shipped so keep that in mind too..... Quote
DubyaDee Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 I would try to get the kayak only from him. Rigging the kayak to your fishing style is half of the fun. Don't pay new prices for his used gear. I got my ride 135 used at a good price and outfitted it to my standards. If you go with a ride 135, I'd recommend a trailer. They are heavy after a long day of paddling and fishing. 1 Quote
