How does one launch one of those without getting wet? I couldnt imagine having body weight inside and doing the "scoooch" along the ground until it floats. Would probably puncture it pretty quickly. I guess if you have access to a dock or something, that would help. Get a pelican fishing kayak from costco, this one is on for $350 in store right now;
https://www.costco.ca/Pelican%E2%84%A2-Odyssey-100X-Kayak-.product.100333947.htmlComes with a paddle, car roof carrier kit, two flush mount rod holders etc. I know guys in condos that have them, one guy hangs it from J hooks on the wall, another leaves it on his deck. Its only 10 feet long and 50lbs, easy to manage.
You can use it for a year or two and still sell if for $300 if you want to upgrade or downgrade. The PVC one will be effectively worthless on the resale market used.
Those cheaper PVC Yaks have a finite life span. You'll wind up spending $100-$200 and quickly become frustrated with it's durability, tracking, overall functionality and always being 'on guard' while fishing to avoid rocks, barnacles, tree branches etc. With a hard one, you can crash into everything and not worry, focusing on fun and fishing.
I'm sure the pricier inflatables track better and will be more durable, but I would be leary of the low end ones.
