I live in Adelaide and looking for a place to hire and purchase a decent kayak for fishing. I have had a look around but most places have a limited selection ,the only one that seems like doing the job was a cobra fish and dive. If anyone has had any experience with this boat a reveiw would be good.Have herd they are a bit slow.I am about 6foot 3 and weigh just over 100kg if anyone has any recommendations i would love to hear.

Get in contact with Phil Nelson at Hooked On Kayaks (http://www.hookedonkayaks.com.au/). They're in Adelaide so you should be able to have a test paddle.

I have no personal experience of the Fish'n'Dive but it is regarded by some as being a bit of a barge. Find out from Phil when he will be getting the new Malibu "X-Factor" in stock. These are designed for "the larger paddler" and there have been some good initial reviews from the US (see the reviews section atKayak Fishing Forums (http://kfs.infopop.cc/6/ubb.x?a=cfrm&s=418607442)).
