Demo.... Demo......Demo.. did I mention Demo :-) Serriously you should definitely get some seat time in whatever yaks you might be interested in. I jumped in and bought one from ****'s Sporting Goods and after one trip new it wasn't the answer. Owned a Coosa for a while, and it was an outstanding creek boat... but had two major downfalls for me. I take my daughter a lot and she is not quite ready to float a creek and fish in her own kayak. The other problem .. I fish some smaller lakes and the Coosa is absolutely awful in the wind (my opinion). I sold the Coosa and now own a NuCanoe Frontier. Has scuppers so works great on the creek and with two bass style swivel seats it is super comfortable for two of us. When she doesn't tag along the cast and blast deck is easy to stand and fish all day. You can even put a trolling motor on it if you need to make long trips. My biggest advice is to try several and don't buy without trying.. what is good for somebody may not be good for you.
