I’m a cheapo, so I bought the Pelican Icon from Academy. I’ve not tried any of the high end yaks, but I’m sooo glad I went with this one. The seat it comes with provides all day comfort and the boat is really stable. Not stand up to cast stable for me, but stable. It’s got decent storage and there are a ton of mod options. Best of all, it’s only 299.99 right now at academy so you can afford a nice paddle, which makes all the difference in the world.
