I am looking at getting my first kayak. I am looking at the ultimate 14.5 basic. I am a 240 lbs guy. Any suggestions. I plan on taking a Kayak trip with Capt Mike with St Marks Outfitters on Jun 10th before I purchase a yak. I want to use it to do some fly fishing.

The native slayer is also a fabulous yak for fly fishing with little obstructions. (sans peddle version)
