@hookspit9 I have that same yak. I love it. I'm 5'6 215 and it's never given me any issues what so ever. A damn good yak for the price that's for ...more sure.
It's a good kayak. But for you, it may handle like a boat. You're very light. If you never kayaked before, I suggest renting before you buy. It'll ...more help get what you need, and not waste money
You need to check your local classifieds or craigslist. For 350 you can probably get a good used ocean kayak or wilderness systems tarpon for that price. Maybe a ...more little more. Stay away from sit ins.
my honest opinion , stay away from pelicans if its for saltwater fishing. i have one and regret not spending the extra money for an ascend from bass pro shop.
