I followed lovelygamer's kayak thread with a great deal of interest, as I am seriously considering purchasing a kayak myself.
My question is: Which do you prefer (or would recommend for a novice) -- a sit-on-top or a sit-inside? I have only tried a sit-on-top and I liked it just fine, but I'm wondering what the pros and cons of each kind are.
This would be strictly for calm water kayaking -- local lakes and rivers, and possibly in the bay down at the beach.
The two models I am considering are:
Old Town Vapor 10 (sit-inside)
versus
Ocean Kayak Frenzy (sit-on-top)
Thoughts/advice appreciated!
