You might look at these:
www.nucanoe.com
They are a sponsor. I own one and really enjoy mine. Kayak bottom, paddles very easily with a double paddle and have the advantge of sitting with your knees bent instead of straight out in front of you.
Very stable, comfortable, weight 65lbs for the 10' one and 85lbs for the 12' one.
I highly recommend them...Give them a look-over and see what you think...
By the way, I'm 61 years old too and love my 10' NuCanoe. I did purchase their optional seat bracket so that I could install a swivel seat.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
