Hi guys - great info on kayaks being better than inflatables, except you forgot the age factor. At close to 80, certain body parts (like knees) don’t work so well so getting in/out of a kayak is questionable. Plus my experience tells me kayaks are only stable when upside down. My fishing buddy and I need something we can get into easily, and be high enough we can sit comfortably (and occasionally stand up ), and most importantly get in the back of a Suburban as we don’t want to have to store a trailer. We’re thinking an Intex Mariner 3 or 4 with a hardfloor would work, but don’t know if it will slide into the the suburban w/o deflating. Also worried about weight. Any thoughts?
