I posted this on another forum but have only received one reply. My son is interested in buying 2 inflatable kayaks for use on lakes and reservoirs. He would use them for fun, but not for fishing. I have always owned SOT kayaks and I know nothing about inflatables. Can anyone suggest a brand of kayak or point out some things he should be looking for in an inflatable? Any ideas would be appreciated.

There are some really nice ones that are pricey and some that are junk. I wish I could help more, but here are examples of some.

The problem with most of the cheaper inflatables is a flat bottom that makes them frustrating to paddle. They don't track in a straight line very well. Need to find one that has a pretty pronounced and rigid bow and stern. This is a good example of one that will track well but is expensive (https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Element … ast_sto_dp ). I couldn't find any others on amazon that compare. I have heard several people that love the new inflatable paddle boards. They say they perform really well and seem a bit cheaper than the good inflatable kayaks (https://www.amazon.com/Inflatable-Acces … amp;sr=1-1 ) But this isn't the same as a kayak. Not sure I helped, but that is my 2 cents.
