Offshore kayaking?? need help

[scoocer101]

Hey all,
im thinking of purchasing a some sort of kayak and need some help. I will want to be doing mostly ocean style kayaking like trolling and fishing and also some inshore diving, so it will need good stablity, and looking for a 2 seater and also to have the pedal things so my arms are free for fishing.

any ideas on wht brand i should be going with? and wht price range i will be looking at?

thx

Hi,
If you want the "pedal thing" it pretty much narrows it down to one brand. sounds like you want a Hobie, my mate has the mirage sport fish i think its 3 metres approx, they retail for about $2000. check out there website.
Cheers.
