Re: Kayak Brand?
It depends on what you want and what you are willing to spend. Longer is faster, heavier and tracks better. It seems like every brand has a pedal drive but that adds $$$. Pelican is a good value but you have to add the bells and whistles. Hobbies have devoted followers but aren't cheap. Wilderness Systems, Ocean Kayak, NuCanoe and Jackson are the big brands and they make serviceable stuff. I have a NuCanoe Frontier 10 with a Minn-Kota 40# on it. Very, very stable with lots of room for stuff. It needs the motor. It's a bear to paddle. It suits me well,in the smaller electric lakes but I took it down the Delaware once and that was really bad idea.
