well i figure out of all the people on here someone will have an opinion on kayaks.
i live next to a pretty good sized river and also not far from the New River and have been debating on getting a kayak. i'm inexperienced on a kayak, don't need anything fancy, but a comfortable seat and something decently stable. i don't plan on spending over $500. my friend and his wife both have 10' kayaks by Wilderness Systems, the Tarpon 100 models. they both really like them and their uses are on the new river hauling a cooler of beer and they actually each take a dog with them. sounds like a sweet deal to me. well i started looking around and Dick's has this one

which looks and sounds similar to my friends but is 1.5' longer and a little cheaper than what they paid.
also, they are both sit-on-top kayaks as opposed to sit-in. how would you compare the differences?
anyone have some input?
