Pungo 120 vs. Pamlico 120

[hauker]

Hi!

Can anybody tell me how the these two compare?

I'm getting ready to buy me a 'Yak ... "budgetary constraints" ;-) suggest I don't exceed a 120, so I'm thinking about buying a Pamlico 120 for $399. - I also found a Pungo 120 for about $100 more.

I'm not an expert, though I've been paddling before - from looking at them, both seem okay in regards of maneuverability, but I have a hunch the Pungo might by "slightly" faster ...?

Anyone? - Thanks.

I'm not sure if it's okay to post a link or not and i apologize in advance if this is a no-no.Anyways, if you go to riversmallies dot com you'll find a lot of discussion comparing the relative merits of those two boats.It seems to be that most favor the pamlico.

Not sure if it is in accordance to policy either - but I sure appreciate it, Flypaint! --125-3

I'll go, look, (maybe post), learn, buy, and report back :cool: ....

Thanks again!

I just found a new Pamlico 140 for $420 --127-3- ... maybe that's what I should go for - it may be a good option to get a "cheap" Pamlico, but gain speed and tracking (via length) ...!?

Hey that's the Pungo dance your doing --127-3- --125-3

Well, BluesCruiser - I guess it ( --127-3- ) is more the Pamlico Dance :cool:

I decided to buy the 140 - and yes, it's as yellow ... it'll be delivered the day after tomorrow - so I'm a good bit excited :brow and can't wait to take it out ...

took mine out this weekend off herring cove...felt like a bobber
it started out flat and as soon as I hooked up on a rather good size blue all hell broke loose. wind tried to blow my right out to sea . Had that Blue last night --127-3- so good pungo pungo

There can only be one pa-pa pungo dance --127-3-

BluesCruiser tought new the dance, and I let him do all the leading. He's a fine dancer that man!
