I am looking into kayaks, as compared to traditional boating, and I am looking for a sit on kayak that can handle my 270+ frame. My main problem is that all the stores that have types I have looked into don't have them in stock. Now when I check online, I find that that "bargain" kayak for $400.00-$500.00 now becomes a $600.00-$700.00 after shipping and taxes are added in. What gets me steaming is that they will carry virually every type of kayak in house EXCEPT the one that I am looking for.
The stores all say the same thing: We have limited space for inventory. They don't like ordering in store, because of the shipping charge, which tends to turn the customer off right from the start.

At the pace things are going, I may never find an affordable kayak, short of buying one used, which is not very likely with the fuel cost going up consistantly.
