Rather than take another active thread off on a tangent, I'll start another. I'm in the market for a kayak. The options are amazing and diverse, so I'm looking for experienced guidance. Unless I'm overlooking something, I believe the most important features are:
1) ability to comfortably stand for fly fishing
2) relatively light weight
3) comfortable seat
That said, I also am unclear on the following:
1) length: for example 10 vs 12 foot besides the obvious impact on weight
2) what are the disadvantages of sit-on kayaks
NuCanoe seems like a good option. Is it really as stable as they say when standing to cast?
Native Ultimate Angler makes similar claims for standing stability and is lighter.
Then there is the Freedom Hawk Pathfinder and their so-called patented outrigger system. Probably the most stable, but at what trade off?
I'd like to get feedback (pro and con) if you have experience with any of these or can highly recommend something else.
Thanks
