ODOGFISH, I have a Cobra Fish n Dive and prefer it. If you're "big boned"

like me, you'll want some extra stability. I had an Ocean Kayak Scupper Pro that was fast and paddled great but when you put a little weight in it, it wanted to roll over. I'm in no big hurry to get where I need to go and I have no problems paddling the Cobra. Plus you can bring a small passenger with you if you want to because the Cobra can hold around 600 lbs. and has a small seat in the front facing the paddler. It also has tons of storage if you get one with the large center hatch (a must). Good luck with your decision.
