Get something you very comfortable in, and practice in the bay and for gods sake "THINK SAFETY" water temps are brutal even in the summer..

I sent you some of the pics you requested.

If you're new to yakking I would strongly suggest you start off within your budget. I started with a Prowler because I wasn't sure if I would like the sport, if I didn't like it I'd be out $800 and not $2000. This past Saturday (about a year after I bought my prowler) I took the plunge and bought a Hobie Mirage Outback, wish I would have bought it sooner but still have no regrets that I bought my Prowler first, it was a good starter kayak. One other thing, whatever you do please DO NOT BUY ON IMPULSE.....I saw my neighbor do it and he lost his *ss off. He used the kayak for one fishing season and half of a hooping season and that was that. He invested over $1400 and sold his kayak for $700 a few months later.
