[QUOTE="72MachOne99GT, post: 16469923, member: 125600"] Wife has decided she’s down to purchase some kayaks for family activities. I told her you guys were excellent reviewers and suggestion makers. Basics: 100% lake, river, slow river use 8/5ish/1.5 year old boys. 5’7 wife 6’ me Probably get a cheap 9’ sit-in kayak for my oldest. He did just fine last weekend when he hopped in a friend’s-kid’s kayak for the first time ever. After that, with the other two boys being smaller, I think two single-occupant kayaks would work better than a tandem for the wife and I. (10-12’ kayak ought to have room for one kiddo to ride along in each) After that, I’m looking to you guys. Wife likely wants a 10’, and I think I’d like 12’ for the space and storage. We are both very casual. And honestly, I don’t know if either of us have ever used a kayak. (I’m well versed in a 12’ 100# canoe) Looking for suggestions or recommendations. As the title states, I want something big enough to carry a cooler with a dozen or more beers. I don’t fish and neither does the wife (the boys may later but that’s not important at their size). I would prefer not to spend 700 each, but realize the jump from 10’ to 12’ is steep. Hit me. [/QUOTE]
