Having fished from a SIK for the past five years, I have always had a great experience with it until one day last summer off of Gloucester. The waves were small but I was a bit overloaded - always try to travel light but not this time -- as I was trying to get into the kayak, I stumbled and then flipped the kayak, ruined and lost a number of items including a radio, a waterproof camera that decided it no longer wanted to be waterproof and several other small tool items.

The guys I was joining all had the SOT kayaks, they had a ton of stuff, were stable and seemed to be a lot more stable than my SIK.

That said, I am going to switch over to the SOT myself. Check out the newenglandkayakfishing web site, they should have some good photos of battlewagons and that will give you a good idea of what you are looking for.
