I've never used one, but My kayak is terrible and there's nothing worse than a bad yak! Go find a place to try one out, like Austin Canoe & Kayak Demo days or another retailer. Figure out what you like and go from there. Some of the guys here might help you out in that department."Curmudgeon only pawn in game of life."

Just take your time and find a good used one. Or save up some extra cash and buy the one you want new. If you can find a good used Perception Bimini I'd snatch it up. I have had 2 over the last 12 years and loved them. Perception doesn't make them anymore for some reason, but they are great fishing yaks. And of course you can't go wrong with a WS Tarpon. Texaskayakfisherman.com always has some for sale.

The best way to buy the right kayak is to try different ones first. One opton is renting and trying for a day, this does cost a little more in the big picture, but you won't be stuck with one already purchased that you may not like. Also you can find some places such as FTU that has a tank and will let you try them out for free (they will even carry it out to the tank for you. This is not the same as fishing out of one, but you can test for stability.
