Hey fellas, huge thanks for all of the input. I'm leaning pedal drive, but will heed advice and hold off till I have a chance to sit in a few.

New babies decimated my budget when I got into kayak fishing. Great time to develop a habit right? That being said, I settled for a cheap kayak that would, "get the job done."

It works...but left wanting sooooo much.

My advice would be, that if you have the budget, drop the money. You get what you paid for. I personally don't mind paddling vs peddling, but their are definitely limitations and times where I would like to have a peddle yak.

Also, whatever you get, try and get something with a higher max weight capacity. I just got a bait tank for mine and the extra 40lbs or so makes a huge difference on my cheap yak haha.
