I think a traditional kayak will actually be lighter than a sit on top. I personally think it is more comfortable to sit down in a kayak than on top with a Sea Kayak. But I strongly recommended trying both before buying to see what you like. I believe both LL Bean and EMS have demo days. I think you can demo at the place in Center Harbor across from Red Hill Dairy/Heaths as well. I have a 10' Perception that is about 35lbs that I bought about 8 years ago for $350 at EMS. Hope this helps! Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions!
