I have the Bass Pro Ascend FS12T sit on top, I understand it isn't the best for ocean either but it's what I have for right now. It has been fine for lake fishing but it doesn't seem to be a very fast hull design. I talked with a guy who saw one with a trolling motor on that worked pretty good but kind of defeats the purpose of having a kayak. It stable though because of it's tunnel hull design.
