My wife Gail and I went to an event at a local lake which allowed us to try-out many different Kayaks from several manufactures. The Best by far was the Pungo 120 from Wilderness Systems.
I am 6'4" tall and I was able to fit into it nicely. There is about 13 inches of space in cockpit area for the feet rests. I wear a size 12 shoe and I fit nicely.
I understand that this cockpit is the largest in the industry that also allows you to wear a spray skirt.
The Pungo 120 is 12 feet long and tracked very nicely in the water. I was able to make it move very swiftly and it was not effected too much by the wind like several other Kayaks I tried were. The seat is adjustable in several ways and ensured a comfortable ride.
While more pricey than basic Kayaks from a big box store, the Pungo 120 is well worth the money. When buying a Kayak, you get what you pay for.
It is very stable and fun to paddle. I weighed about 210 when I purchased it. And have tried it when I weighed in the 310 range. It worked well at both weights but at 310, I had to install scupper plugs so that I was not sitting excess water.
Being a sit on top Kayak, it was very easy to get in an out of this Kayak.
It makes a nice platform for Kayak Fishing.
I would recommend this Kayak to a person that wanted a sit on top kayak.
