Newbie wanting guidance on a kayak purchase

There are Tarpon 120 Demos on sale in Queensland for only $799.

May be they deliver, maybe you know someone up there who can pick up.
It's a great price considering that second hand prices are usually higher.

Ok, so whilst waiting for my kayak to come in I went and paid the rest of it off and the reason he advised against the rudder is because we'll be doing a lot of anchoring.

I can kind of see where he's coming from, but I still need to get to the anchoring location and then back to shore, so I think I might end up getting the rudder.

Going to play around in local dams before I go out into the bay, so I have a bit of time to save for the rudder.

What's anchoring got to do with a rudder?
