I agree with you guys. I don't think one that size will be useful to me. I definitely don't know if I want a sit-on or not. This is kind of a test for that. I like idea of having a compartment for storage infront or behind with a sit in. There is no intention of buying his just to give it some use while he can't. He hates seeing it sit.
Now my wife has hinted around about whether kayaks have two seats or just one. I think she already knows the answer to that.
Manchester, I'd like to try one out sometime. My only trout excursions seem to be at night these days. I am going to be up there on the river in October for a couple days. I live a long way from you if you are in Manchester. I'm over 100miles north of Tims Ford Lake. Be glad to help you out any I can on here if you want as well.
