Here is my kayak. Less is more, but it gets me in the water.
A couple of suggestions (no criticism implied) for you to consider:
1. The aft carry handle -- I converted mine so that is removable -- seems like every time I had a fish run under the yak towards the back my line would catch on it .
2. I don't see a 'help me stand up' cord (short cord attached low a couple feet in front of your feet -- used to pull your upper body forward as you push back with your feet). I clip my detached carry handle onto it.
It's also handy for hanging onto the yak when you're stepping out and attaching a bow line.

Good ideas. I have not had a fish go behind me. I had one take me for a little ride and then do a 90 degree run, but then he tired out dragging me around 😂. Number two is a definite. I’ll look into that. Thanks

Been doing some research. I'm interested in an affordable kayak I'd like to use upstate NY as well as as in the LI Sound and its estuaries. An 8' one person craft that would slide into my Chevy king bed would probably do what I'm looking for. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for any input.
I finally found the video on a YouTube that I follow where the model of their 'yak is mentioned.
After I hit the Powerball, I think I'll pick up two of them.

Compared to a Hobbie brand Papa, How much is this one. Hobbe's got to be in mid $ 4K - $ 5K range these days.

After you hit the powerball, where will your lake front home be. Along with the kayaks of course.

Yeh, it's currently a $500/night dinner B&B -- I'd keep the staff.
It's on the San Pablo Strait (between San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay). No more 2 hours sitting in commute traffic just to get to the marina!
Pray for 10, 18, 22, 54, 61 and 11!!!

Back to the topic of kayaks (and the real world)...
I came across this 2023 buyers guide...
https://www.onthewater.com/fishing-kayak-buyers-guide
Be sure to read through the comments because there's a lot of lower-priced options that are mentioned.

Don’t feel bad, I didn’t win either. I’ll find out who won to let them know I want my four dollars back. With all the money they won, they can afford it.
