    We just bought two. They are Wilderness System Ride 115x. Absolutely the best kayak I've ever been on. We use them in the Chesapeake bay and the are stable enough to fish while standing up. The rails on them make installing rod hfolders simple, and there is a removable center console that can hold a depth finder or GPS while protecting the transducer underneath. Definitely worth looking into.

    We did a cash deal with a local dealer and got two for $1900, worth every penny.

    I want a Hobie with a mirage drive sooooo bad.

    My dad has a Wilderness and likes it a lot. He also has two Oldtown Loons he uses for wildlife photography.

    My fiancee and I have 2 kayaks, 1 is a Trophy 126 which we got on sell at ****'s Sporting Goods for $300 and another is a Pelican (no idea model), which we got from a neighbor for $80 with a paddle.

    Cheap kayaks compared to some but it gets us on the water and honestly we have no complaints. They're perfect for us. Tho, I'll have to admit I've never sat in one of those fancy fishing kayaks.
