A few boats you may want to look at are:
Wilderness Systems Tarpon 140 Anglers Edition
Ocean Kayak Prowler 13 Angler
Liquidlogic Mantaray 12 or 14

Now you can save some money by buying the striped version ( non anglers) of these kayaks and putting on only the stuff you want, or you can buy the anglers package which usually comes with a couple of flush mounts, a scotty or two, and a few other little things. Buying one used is not a bad idea. If you can find one that is already tricked out for a good price you are all set. Watch the classifieds on this site, yaks pop up every once in a while.

One more piece of advice, try the kayak before you buy it. If you are buying it used off a private seller ask if you can take it for a test drive. Many retailers have demo days too so you can try out the kayak you are looking for.

I hope this was helpful, if you have any more questions feel free to PM me.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
