I have enjoyed canoeing quit a bit, but want to do the same with a kayak. I'm about 5'6", 160 lbs, in good shape--but would not like to deal with the weight and expense a SOT kayak beyond 11' would place upon me. I prefer moderately calm lakes/rivers, looking at 2-3 day trips at most, don't fish, and want to do a fair amount of photography from the water. I'm uncertain what I can get in the way of storage, stability and tracking at no higher than $400-$450...but sensible DIY modifications might help. Your thoughts? | |

If you can carry and store a longer craft, 15 to 17 foot canoes can be found used for $50 to $150. There is much more room you can carry a bike and there is much less chance of getting wet, but you do sitll need to protect your gear from water. | |
