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.
Sincerest appreciation. I might take you up on that offer.

One of my issues is that 1)I'm a smaller guy and 2)a lot of my transportation would be on my car (getting the yak from Mansfield down to Truro or for freshwater trips). Because of the above 2 reasons, I was looking for an 11'-12' yak. I'd love something a little bigger with a bit more stability, but I don't think it's an option.
