Experienced Kayakers
You guys that have several hours in the saddle, could you talk about length, width, sit-ons vs. sit-ins, etc.
Thanks.

Length wise you will be better off with anything 12+ foot. The shorter the kayak the harder it is to paddle any distance the longer the easier it is. Hope this helps!

Gulfcoastkayakfishing is a good site. Sit on top only. especially for offshore use. Sit in will fill with water just due to wave action.

Look into hobies and don't turn back
Give a googan a king, and he can eat for a day. But teach a googan how to kingfish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years

I am $ure hobie$ are nice but doubt that I could justify getting one right now. Maybe some day. $ave, $ave, $ave
Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
