I just bought my Destin 10.4 a few weeks ago (3/19/2019); didn't know and don't care about the discontinued bit. It cost me $225.00 new at my local Walmart (the only place to buy a kayak within 35 miles of my home). Everything else was more money with less carrying capacity.

I've been out maybe eight times and I'd say it's pretty amazing for the price. I owned another yak around 2003 (don't remember the name, it was a SOT with similar specs to the Destin, but it cost me $500 used at that time), I'd say the Destin is its equal in every way, for less than half the price. If you are in the market for a yak and come across one for around $225 it is WAY worth it. (Amazon has some listed, but they're $300 to $388 - I guess that extra is $150 is for a "shipping charge").

Oh, by the way, it came with a (marginal) paddle, (marginal) seat and adequate scupper plugs. It does NOT have an in-hull storage system, but the two bungees are adequate for most anything you'll need to carry on a one-person boat AND you won't lose anything in the interior of the hull.

HIGHLY recommended at the price. Not so much for $100-150 more. There may be better options.
