I have been in some pretty hairy situations on the big D between Belvidere and Pburg that would have put me on the bottom of the river in a sit in side. And the weight capacity of my yak is 600lbs. I would go with a sit on top. It's your kayak and if something goes wrong it's your life preserver. I have an ocean kayak prowler Big Game 2 and love it(except the "lifetime" hull and deck warranty is basically just a role of toilet paper). My buddy has a Jackson coosa HD and it comes ready to fish. If I were a smaller guy the HD would be an awesome start.
Thanks Yakattacker....Im 6'1" 220 lbs. im right with you on the coffin thing...I never was a fan of sit in. I like having my legs free. I am looking for something that I can pedal as well. It looks alot of kayaks have rudders, but not sure if they have pedals. Hobies clearly have them.
