I guess I forgot this thread existed when I started the other one. I ordered the NK300 and should have everything arrive by the weekend to work on the install.

Any one have a line on a good used kayak? Looking for a coosa, fb marketplace hasn't been great.

Looking for an original coosa, coosa hd, coosa fd or coosa x?
What're you looking to do with it? The original coosa was a river fishing kayak specifically designed for moving water. The later iterations were more general purpose.
If you want a river/moving water paddle kayak, also look at the Crescent Shoalie, Crescent Smallie or the Bonafide RVR119. A used Old Town Predator MX (what I currently use in the rivers) is another great option.

original coosa, coosa hd,
Looking to float the tangi River and upper amite River. Got some creeks that run behind my parents property to hit as well.
I'm trying to keep it under $1k so marketplace has been where I've looked.

I've taken a look at the primo, and hoping to run into a used smallie or shoalie

Another great option for those rivers is a used Native Ultimate 12. Very lightweight, easy to steer and tracks pretty well.
I have put many, many hours in rivers all over the south (TX, OK, AR, LA, MS and AL) in either my Predator MX or an Ultimate 12 or 14.5. Shorter boats with a bit of a rocker are what you want for manueverability but honestly on our coastal plain rivers you can get by with a lot of kayals since we lack true swift water.
River bass fishing is absolutely my favorite outdoor passion. I was on the upper Tangi yesterday before the storms hit.

I've got a line on a coosa hd for $600. Only thing holding me back is the weight on those. Kinda just what something I can throw and go. That's why I've been really looking at the primo's, it's about 25 pounds lighter and 2 feet shorter. I'll be throwing it on top of an older land cruiser, so I've got to get it up high.
I had a diablo amigo about 10 years ago, I didn't use it in the right environments so it wasn't the best experience.

If lightweight is your goal, the native ultimate 12 is really hard to beat. They come in at 49lbs.
Even the ultimate 14.5 is only 59lbs. On our rivers, the 14.5 is manageable. I have an ultimate 14.5t (tandem model) that i use with me and my 7 and 4 year old. We took it down the bogue chitto last fall and it did fine even with me just paddling from the rear seat position and over loaded with gear.

This Old Town Next would be great in the rivers. Its a canoe/kayak hybrid, its lightweight (59lb) and all the reviews I have read say it paddles very well. The lawn-chair style seat is the same one thats on my Predator MX and its very comfortable.

There's a native falcon 11? on marketplace for $600 and a 2013 Jackson cuda 12 for $400. I hadn't really looked at native until you brought them up.
I'm going to take a look at the ones you mentioned.

Falcon 11 would be great if youre not huge guy. The 325lb weight limit is on the low side but would be more than sufficient for me.
65lb and 11ft long so it should be maneuverable and easy to get on top of your car. Natives are good boats all around.

You need to come check out the hill country rivers. San marcos is my new favorite for proximity and I've seen some legit double digit fish in there.
PB a few weeks ago on the SM for me
Just got word back my march delivery of my fluxjet will be delayed to April. Can't wait to be able to run up river with ease. Im still fishing out of my 10 foot slayer propel. I do have an ultimate in nola I leave at my dad's. As other posters have said its light and tracks well. Also since its more of a canoe setup you can load it will camping gear

I have dreams of the s llano. Havent gotten to junction in a couple years and am getting the itch.
We had an unbelievable afternoon catching angry 15-17" guads on poppers a few octobers back that will be hard to top. And i know those pools hold some big largemouth.

I havent been to junction in a long time. I brought a bass fisherman with me once and he threw a giant jig all day. Caught 1 fish. 9 pounds. I used to shuttle with older couple. I understand they are retired from that now
Its marked in my Google maps. The tree it was caught in

I've been trying to get a family vacation out that way to check out some fishing out there. Going to broken bow instead this year.
Posted on 3/10/26 at 9:01 am to burgeman
If youre hitting up broken bow, look into fishing Lower Mountain Fork River, Glover River or (a little bit of a haul from BB but not too bad) jump over to the Blue River.
I lived in OKC for 5 years and caught a lot of fish in the Blue. Gorgeous river. Feels like something out of Colorado. Plenty of spots, a few largemouth and even a good population of Smallies.
If youre there anytime Nov-May you will probably run into some stocker rainbows too in the Blue. We used to catch a couple on accident every trip while bass fishing.

Smallmouth in MF above the lake. Big brown trout below the dam.

Contact Jackson kayaks. They may have an original coosa in their warehouse.
Posted on 3/11/26 at 9:21 am to burgeman
Man Broken Bow has some killer bass fishing. When the water his high is unreal! Close to the dam is where you can catch smallies and kentucky bass. Everywhere else it's large mouth. Caught one there pushing 5. Tons of 1-3 pounders. Go check out the breweries while your there.
