Sit-on-top vs sit-in kayaks
#10
I have both, I like both. Each for different conditions. I love to lake fish from my sit in because it is big. It could be a two person, I doubt I will swamp or that I will tip in it. I can carry alot, inside, between my legs, behind...
I also have a sit on, enough rocker to paddle down the Henefer/Morgan reach of the Morgan and enough rear keel to track well in slower water. Not as much storage, I know it won't sink.

If I were buying my first I would evaluate where you plan to fish the most with it, how you will transport/load it, how much gear you need to have with you and how easy you want to access that gear.

If I were buying another I would look for a longer, wider sit-on top. Probably with a higher raised seat and indents for a cooler, milk crate, couple of rod holders, electronics post and a drink holder. For hard rigging, a rudder steering system, anchor cleats and an umbrella mount.

Get a kayak that fits too, if you are a big guy, you should be on a big kayak.
