Great advise guys. Also Hook 1 takes trade-ins so you can find used kayaks there at a great price. Most of the 2015 models have been released, so you will see a lot of 2014, and 2013 models up for sale used. I always like to take my weight plus gear 350lbs and add another 75-100lbs for a total of 425-450 pounds and that's where I like the weight capacity of the kayak at a minimum. I was in a kayak with a maximum weight capacity of 350lbs this past weekend, but I limited my gear, by not taking electronics, only 3 rods instead of 7, and only 1-3700 series Plano, and 20-30 bags of soft plastics. Comfort is the main thing, if you are not comfortable you will not like it.
