They make inexpensive sit on top kayaks too ( as most already know).(My small yak I have for little creeks and such is an Emotion Spitfire 9.. great little yak)
I always suggest buying a sit on top for the reasons stated below ..
1- your butt stays far drier. :)
2- easier to get in and out of.
3- they float when full of water because they are double hull. Sit in yaks are like a bathtub and fill and sink.
4- Better to modify.
Glad to see you back posting kayak fishing vids. The big boat saga is also great, but I've missed the kayak vids from you.
Keep on catching. :)
Again....fill your "bath tub" up with water and watch it sink like ...well...a bath tub full of water. :-P
Flip a SOT over and it still floats... You can fill it with water and it still floats.
I kinda like that....... especially out on a big lake or in the ocean.
TRY IT....you'll like it.
We are talking "fishing kayaks".
I won't debate what are already well known facts about the pro's and cons.
BTW-- I'm not short ( @ 6'2") and I've never had a wet ass one time sitting in my Perception Striker 11.5, my Pelican Catch 120 or my Nucanoe Frontier. ) Even with the scupper plugs in and standing water in the floor. ( you do not sit on the floor..but raised in a seat
I also like to stand and fish and walk to and fro on the deck. Or go out in the surf or big lake or in cold weather. Which they all accomplish nicely. Matter of fact I caught a 45lb. Blue cat in the Ohio river yesterday from my Frontier. Couldn't have done that in a 10ft. Sit in yak. ( water too cold - fish way too big)
Now my el cheapo Emotion Spitfire 9 will get your butt damp... but it's just a little, cheap 9 ft SOT that I use to drag up little creeks. It will however hold 350lbs. is unsinkable and only weighs 37lbs. empty.
:)
Sit-in kayaks tend to be a bit sleeker and thus quicker than sit-on-top models. They are also a lot lighter and easier to carry or lift onto or take off a roof rack. This Pelican weighs 37lbs whereas a comparable 10' sit-on-top kayak would weigh something in the 45 to 53lb range, per Pelican's website. Plus, it seems that most sit-on-top angling kayaks are 12' craft that weigh at least 30lbs more than this Pelican Argo.
As far as modifications go, with sit-in kayaks, one has the option of securing accessories with any sort of attachment, including bolts with locking washers, rather than just screws and rivets.
One thing you left out, though, is that sit-on-tops tend to be better for taller guys or ones with longer legs. My 10' Pelican Odyssey sit-in kayak would probably be cramped if I was 2-3" taller - I'm a pretty average-sized guy at 5'9" with a 30" inseam on my pants. One can also swing one's legs overboard on a sit-in kayak for an alternative sitting arrangement that gives a broader casting range than with the forward direction in a sit-in kayak.
There are advantages and disadvantages with both types of kayaks.

Hope this helps.
On the off-chance this comment might get read and passed on to someone involved with your product development, with your sit-in kayaks with open rear storage compartments, such as the Odyssey 100X I bought last spring or the nearly identical Maverick models, you should widen up that rear compartment a small amount so that it can hold a standard-sized (13"x13" - 16-quart) milk crate. As you should know, milk crates are very useful and popular both to hold gear inside and to mount further accessories, such as additional rod holders, on the outside.
Thanks and thanks for supporting Marty's channel. It was a significant factor in my decision to buy a Pelican last year.
Picking a new yak up in Clearwater Saturday (I'm out of Cape Coral) want to fish up in the Tampa Bay area while up there but don't know much about it. Any advise on some good spots to launch from to fish some healthy grass flats?
A few words to anyone considering one of these Pelicans (since I bought a similar 10' sit-in Pelican Odyssey 100X last spring from Costco - it's almost the same as the Maverick 100 Ltd. sold at Dick's Sporting Goods), which looks to have a better front storage compartment and a better seat than this Pelican Argo 100, but no built-in flush mount rear rod holders, which I installed myself on my Odyssey 100X.
First, I mounted my swiveling front rod holder in the exact same place as Marty has his in this video, since it was the closest and flattest place in the front of the kayak. That was a bit of a mistake, because it is really too far forward by about 6" and it's hard to reach when seated (and I have longer than average arms - I wear a size 35" sleeve on a dress shirt). In retrospect, I wish I had mounted it closer to the front, even on a spot that isn't as flat. The thing about rod holder bases is that they are surprisingly flexible when screwed down, they can be bent to fit a curved surface, and I could have trimmed a bit of overlap if the corners hung over the edge a bit.
Second, while there is an open storage compartment in the back of these Pelicans, for some reason they did not make them quite large enough to fit a standard 16-quart milk crate, at least not on my Odyssey, and it appears the compartment on the various Maverick models I've seen at Dick's are the same size; maybe this Argo has a bigger rear compartment. On my Odyssey, the rear storage compartment is about an inch narrower than a standard milk crate, which is 13"x13". This wasn't an issue for me because I happened to have a slightly narrower than normal crate (I think it held two or three gallon jugs - it's about 11" or 12"x 14" ) that fits perfectly. It might be possible to apply some heat from, say, a blowtorch, and maybe use a saw to bend and trim a standard crate to fit.
Having said that, though, I have been really pleased with my Pelican. It's noticeably quicker than several 9" Sun Dolphins I've paddled, and seems quicker, too, than my wife's 9'6" Perception. It tracks pretty well, although I may want to build a rudder/scupper for it, as it did not go as straight as I would like paddling on a really windy day. It is very stable - I've never once felt like I was coming even close to tipping. Of course, with a sit-in, it's a bit trickier to stand up on it, something I've not yet tried, but since watching Marty do it, I think I'll give it a shot this summer (I'm not risking toppling over in 40*F spring water). There is room behind the seat to stuff an anchor on one side and a dry box along with a couple of utility-tackle boxes on the other side. For the $299 I paid for my Pelican, which included a paddle as part of the Costco package, I got a great deal.

I decided to concentrate on the real world I want to conquer that mountain in a way that nothing digital can. I applaud you on your decision to life life in a more full manner.
If you ever decide to stop in Alabama let me know, we could end up doing some fishing.
Love it!
sincerely the chad
just like my way of fishing
