No doubt consideration is to be given to your primary purpose. Fishing, crusing etc. Seen many people buy a kayak and not get what they wanted. So I bought 5 different models. I prefer the cockpit type with skirt. The skirt keeps the cold water out and your legs from getting burnt. lts also must if you need to roll. I do have one of the longer kayaks with dry storage that I can store enough gear in for overnite trips. Tracking and ease of paddling are a plus with this particular model. Longer means takes more room to turn around and trickier to handle around hazards. This boat won't turn on a dime. The weather should also be a factor as a sit on would get chili faster in cooler weather. Your welcome to come down and try some 7 different models if you'd like. I have 5 my neighbor has 2 and one of them is a sit on top.
