How many kayaks have you owned?

[Reefmonkey]

Currently own two rigid and an inflatable, and a canoe, the oldest kayak (rigid) I bought in 2000. Have owned two others, one I sold in 2005 after listing on TKF. The other I lost to Ike.

On top of that I own a sailboat that I’ve been spending more time on than my paddle craft lately.

Wow! Pretty impressive lists of boats!
I’ll have to disqualify myself for the 5 whitewater kayaks I’ve owned living in CO and NM. One I still have an Extrasport Maverick Kevlar Epoxy boat that I just can’t get rid of!
WS Kevlar Pamlico sold
Pigmy Triple wood boat I built and still have
NRS Pike inflatable still have
And my newest WS Tarpon 120 that is teaching me how to fish in the Salt.

Kind of two categories for me, my primary kayak and my 2nd/backup kayaks that I've owned:

Primary:
Ocean Kayak Trident 13 - Sold
Jackson Kraken 15.5 - Sold
Viking Profish Reload - Current

2nd kayaks:
Ocean Kayak Frenzy - Traded for some spearfishing stuff
Cobra Tourer - Sold
Malibu Mini-X - Traded for the Tarpon
Wilderness System Tarpon160 - Still have it

To get to where you are now. Mine has been a progression of wants and needs as I get older and kayaks have progressed in design.
First was a Ocean Cabo tandem. Flipped in on first voyage then sold it at a loss. Then a Wilderness Freedom, kept it for ten years and should have bought it from the beginning. Next was another WIlderness Freedom that I got at a great price just to have as a second kayak. Next was a Hobie Outback, this was in 2004. My wife liked the mirage drive but could not paddle it as the kayak would lean to either side and just go around in circles. She later got a Hobie Sport.
So, to tally up what I had.
Hobie Revolution 13-2
Hobie Outback-1
Hobie Adventure Islander-1
Native Ultimate -1
Native Ultimate with drive-1
Native Versa Board-1
Native Mariner 13-1
Malibu X 13-1
Diablo-1
Ocean Prowler 11-1
Ocean Cabo
WIlderness Freedom -2
WIlderness Tarpon 16'
WIlderness Atak 140
Ordered a Blue Sky 360, waiting on delivery.
My present kayak is a Hobie 13 Revolution with the nice seat.

I'm interest to see what you think of the Blue Sky 360. I saw a couple of videos on it. I'm trying to decide on a pedal kayak. I was concerned with sitting up so high. One because of the angle you pedal at and two afraid I would be spotted by fish too easily. Please let us know what you think about it.

Will do on the 360

I bought a Pelican 11.5 in 2007. My family laughed at me. I was going to local lake often. Then my son wanted to try, I sat on the bank and watched. I bought a tarpon 12. Then second son wanted to go. I sat on bank and watched. I bought a used tarpon12, my wife wanted to try kayaking. I sat on bank and waited my turn. Thus began the saga:
Pelican sold
Tarpon 12 (2) sold
Redfish 12 sold
Tarpon 14
Ride 13
Hurricane Phoenix 14
Tarpon 16
Cuda 14
Hurricane Skimmer 14
KI tandem ( to take grandchildren)
I don't have to watch anymore
