T120, maybe a Cobra of your chosing, how about a Malibu. Yea, the T140 a nice SOT, a bit wet, but nice. But most of the kayaks mentioned in the thread starter are good SOT's, its personal choice and use.


texaskayakfisherman.com and kayakfishingstuff.com are good places to check out SOT's. The latter also sells kayaks on the site, prices are comparable or better than local shops.
