Kayak Bassin

Featured Replies

I'm 6'7" and 220. I need a kayak that I can fish comfortably in while standing. I don't wanna break the bank either. Does anybody know what my best option would be?

Just look for wider kayaks. And look at the seating area to see if there is a somewhat flat area to stand. I have an emotion kayaks renegade xt. It's stable, tracks good but not very very fast but fast enough.

Just a tip, a drift sock is a MUST!!!

Good luck

Guess a definition of "break the bank" is needed.

If you're looking to spend a max of $1200, say, look at easy-to-stand kayaks such as the Native Ultimate 14.5, the Wilderness Systems Commanders or Ride models, Jackson Coosa and Cuda, Moken Anglers, etc. There are several great kayaking stores on the web you can find discounts on last year models that put some of these models below $1k.

Because you're a tall fellow I'd suggest nothing shorter than a 14'.

All of these will let you stand, the Commander and Ultimate are hybrids (canoe/kayak) while the others are SOT's (Sit On Top) with scupper holes.

If money is not as much of an object, Hobie Pro Angler... But $2500 ain't small change.

I'm 6'6" 220 and have an Ocean Kayak 13 Trident Angler that is great but not easy to stand up in. I will add outriggers this winter. It was about a grand with shipping and rudder from Saco Bound.

Take a look at a Feedom Hawk 14 at Cabelas now on sale for $1105.

Big Game is probably your best option in that price range.
