Getting a Sportsman by OldTown 10.6. Says 36” wide, seems to be one of the higher set seats of the fishing kayaks I checked out.

I’m 5’9”. I will mostly be on freshwater lakes, possible from time to time in calmer ocean bays, harbors.

It has the Minnkota option(inboard version) but I still plan a lot of paddling, lord know I need the exercise.

From research I’m thinking about 260 CM. I typically like the fins straight on but I’ve only used an ocean type kayak, Hobie dual seat so sitting lower. Would like adjustability, I believe the Hobie paddles I have have three positions which would be good(might only be two been awhile).

Budget $100-200, looking at bending branch at high end of budget. What should I be looking at?
