****'s sporting goods carries a model that is basically identical to mine with a few improvements (cockpit padding, etc.).

It seems to me that the sit-in kind would be more stable due to the lower center of gravity, but they are also probably harder to get in and out of.

I'd be happy to load them both up sometime soon and meet you somewhere to do a little fishing if you'd like to try one out and decide if you like the sit-in kind or not.

Thanks I might take you up on that, alot of guys use these at the Falls just to get to the Kentucky side than walk to desired locations to fish. It's a great way to escape the incredibly rude fisherman that frequent that place.
