I don't know what size you're considering, but I got an 8' Ocean Kayak, Yak Attack for my 9 year old son and it is plenty big enough for him. It's stable. Anything bigger, I don't know if he could move it easily. I have a spare rod holder to put on it. I would typically carry all the tackle. He only needs a small cooler for some snacks/drinks.
I got it used off Craigslist.
