    Consider trying both sit on tops and sit ins and find out which one works better for you. I love my sit on top , I know others love their sit ins. Its all a matter of preference.

    Question?
    Sit on top Kayaks:
     
    Are they stable?
    Have you ever flipped yours?
    Ever use in the rivers?
    Do you get swamped by boters/barge waves?
     
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes they are stable
     
    No I have not ( I have exited the seat into the water and tried to get back on board on purpose , Im a big guy and was able to climb back on with effort)
     
    Rivers - yes I have with no problems
     
    There are scubber holes in the SOT yaks which allow water to drain , you cant sink a SOT unless you swamp the inside of the hull.

    I have 2 ocean kayak prowler 13' SOT and love them. I'm 6'3" and was 250 and could stand on them to fish. Attempted to roll it and rocked it as hard as I could and all I did was roll myself out. Like deetz said I even climbed back on with no problem. I like the room of the SOT compared to the SIS. I use mine for fishing and waterfowl hunting. I have an 80lb lab that goes with me and can jump out, retrieve the birds and I can help him back in with no problem.

    I took my yaks to the ocean and they work like a charm to take the bait out past the surf. My buddy brought his SIS, the locals call them "die insides", and watched him swamp his 2 times before he put it up and used my extra.

    I've used it on creeks, rivers, lakes, swamps, ponds and the ocean.

    The worst day hunting or fishing will always be better then the best day at school or work!

    Sit on tops are great. They're very stable, I'd say unflippable. I personally have yet to stand up on mine but I plan on trying in the near future. Now that its warm I don't have to worry about freezing if things don't go as planned. I love that you can take the kayak in a mere couple inches of water to get to places that nobody else can get to. I use mine nearly every weekend at my camp in Shenango, either the lake or the river. I tried the sit in before I bought mine and hated being cramped. The sit on offers so much more room to move around and carry all of my stuff. I currently have the future beach angler 144 and wouldn't trade it for anything.

    Like others have said, try a few out. I had a Ride 115 and just sold it, paddling a new Jackson Kilroy now. Lots of options out there and most dealers will let you demo a few to find the one that works for you.
