I'm looking at something like this:

Johnny, if you're looking at OK SOT's, take a look at the Prowler tridents. Very stable. Much faster than the Big Game. They now make them in 11', 13', and 15'
I have the 15' Trident Angler with rudder that replaced my Liquid Logic Manta Ray 12' (anther nice boat now sold under the Native Manta Ray name).
You'll be surprised to find out how stable a narrower kayak can be vs. getting one of the widest (OK Big Game) available. That Big Game can get cumbersome and pretty darn slow.
Say the word and I'll let you test ride my Trident if you'd like.
