Definitely go used and water test them. You will get some of the accessories with the sale. A bunch of fishing kayaks up on CL.

If you insist on new some of the retailers have demos you can check out. Ramsey outdoor in ledgewood is an example.

The biggest thing as a fellow big guy for me is seat comfort. Not much fun having a case of dead ass and being numb in the back side and legs. Had a sit in that my legs would go numb after an hour.

I bought a 10’ Vibe yellowfin sot off CL last year ($500) and love it. Can sit on that thing all day. Bought it as a no thrills throw and go option for when I don’t want to deal with the boat.
