I have a couple 10’ sit inside kayaks. Nothing fancy, just your local big box fare.
The non-fishing one my wife uses paddles faster because of the shape but it’s not quite as stable as mine. Mine has a flatter bottom and rod holders and such. It paddles slower but is more stable.
Neither kayak has much storage. You could probably do an ultralight one or two day trip but that’s it.
If I was buying mine again I would either buy a sit on top style fishing kayak OR a one person canoe. The sit inside kayak isn’t great for fishing because you can’t open a typical tackle box in the cockpit. A sit on top gives you more space to work and some of them are stable enough to stand up and cast.
A single person canoe is another option I like. You can’t stand but you have lots of space to have your fishing gear or load it up front and back for a multi-day camping trip...or a 200 pound deer quartered and split between front and back ends of the boat.
