Not saying a cheap paddle won't work because they will, but just like most anything else, you get what you pay for. Similar to the difference between harbor freight and matco, snap-on, etc. Either one may loosen 99% of the bolts you put them on, but it's that 1% that'll bite you!
Or more in line with this board, a $99 bow setup and a $400 setup. Either will get the job done but one is sure more enjoyable to shoot!
Until you've spent the day paddling with a good paddle, most won't see it. Trust me, when I started out, I thought it was insane what some people were paying for paddles when my $30 paddle got me where I wanted to go. Once I used one, I was on the hunt for my own! If mine broke today, I'd be buying another tomorrow!

As for buying kayaks, there really is no better place in Texas than on the used list of the Texaskayakfisherman.com website. You can get some crazy good deals there from very experienced kayak fishermen.
I've bought and sold 2 there now, with no regrets.
