I've been doing alot of research over the last several days and have decided on either an Ocean Kayak Prowler 13 or a Wilderness brand of similar proportions. Both are SOT and it's said that the shorter length is more manuverable in smaller rivers and in general easier to negotiate obstacles. Sportsman's Wharehouse has a few to look at and I plan on running over there to check them out. Thanks for the advice, it was helpfull.
