Re: Kayak - Sit-on-top or Sit-inside?

Baytownbert take a look at the hobie kona if you would like to look at another top notch kayak. We have three kayaks and this one I like to refer as the battleship, its that stable. It can seat 1 or 2 people comfortably. When we float the rivers this kayak carries most of our gear and you still have enough room to fish. I have started standing up in the kona to get a better view of the fish. At 11'6" it handles well on the river, lake and bay.
I also recommend trying to wait for Austin Conoe and Kayaks demo days, you get to try before you buy. Austin Kayak - Demo Day
They have a place in Austin, San Marcos and even Houston.

There are also alot of mods that can be performed. I installed a depth finder on my wifes. The newer hobie kayaks have a mirage system that will let you fish while you move.

Have fun
