need some advice on float tube or small boat

[Kayote]

No stabilizers, you don't need them. The two in the pics are 31" wide and you have to really try to tip them over. They are extremely stable. I went out with Kayote II the other day to practice self rescue, and you had to sit sideways grab a rail and lean way out over the edge to get them to flip. Even then, you could climb back in very easily. You can get narrower tippier yaks like the Scupper Pro TW from Ocean Kayak at 26" wide. They are much faster, but still very stable with a little practice. I wouldn't get a tandem (two man). You end up taking it out yourself most of the time and they're much harder to paddle. Just get two one man yaks if you want to go. I am in Vernal. I can take you out sometime to test drive one at Steinaker if you want. I have been very busy lately though, so the invitation would have to wait till September, but you are more than welcome to try mine and see if you like them. FYI, this invitation is open to any and all on this board. Just let me know if you want to see what it's like. I havn't had anyone try them that didn't like them. Kayote II is very generous letting others use his yak.

Good Yak Fishing, Kayote
