Canoe, Kayak or sit-on-top kayak?
I have a big heavy canoe that I use for river fishing but I want something smaller and lighter. I'm thinking that a kayak is lighter and a sit-on-top is lighter still. Plus is a sit-on-top easy to reboard.

What's a good brand?
I see prices from $400 to $1400, other than size what's important to look for?

I'm thinking about carrying it on the swim platform or on the bow of my cruiser, any one else do this?

Walker Bay sells a nice little boat that is perfect. Light weight/durable. I know they sell them at Heaths Hardware. There is one right as you walk in the door. I bought mine at Sports Parafunilia years ago for $399. I don't know what they go for now
