Best deals I see are on Craigslist because people buy them and don't use them. If you find one on a BB that is kayak oriented, they know what the yaks are worth - just like truck parts.

Mine is a sit on top, so the emergency procedure is "swim around and collect your chit that is floating away (rods, tackle, etc). Everything is either tied, leashed or has a float on it.

Mine is also not made for white water - you need a "playboat" or whitwater kayak for that and those are the sit-in with a skirt boats. A sit on top is great for ocean/lake/slower water and is generally very stable, but is not maneuverable enough for rapids.
