any other thoughts on a stable, comfortable, maneuverable kayak?
Thanks for the input everyone.

I started out with a Malibu Sierra as my first kayak thinking that I would only care for bay fishing, boy was I wrong. After jamming in that for half a year I set my sights on a wider more stable kayak, Malibu Stealth 12, since the Sierra is a bit tippy. After using the stealth for a good 10 months I began I dread how slow it was and now I'm on my third kayak, a Hobie Revo 13. It's tippier, but faster, lighter, easier to handle, and has a rudder! I do miss the stability of my stealth, but as someone said somewhere here on the board, you can't make a slow kayak faster, but you can always learn how to become more stable
