Ok here goes, this will be my first Yak, I have Kayak fished coastal Fl and Texas rivers many times but have never owned y own
I cannot research anymore or I might have a seizure, this site has been incredible BTW.
I am 6'1" 190# and primarily Fly fish (stable, stand-able YAk a must) the texas cost and tx rivers (standing not such a must), the several i have narrowed it down to are:
Hobie Revolution
WS Ride 135
Native Ultimate 14
Tarpon 140
I know I know Huge difference between these hence my frustration, the main common denominator (with the exception of the Revo, but the peddles are too tempting) is the ability to stand
I know it is impossible to "answer" this post but welcome any and all suggestions.
Thanks, Scott

Getting out to a Demo is the best advise you will get. Don't buy a kayak because someone else thinks it's great. Buy the kayak that feels best to you. Have fun with your search for the right boat.

My preference is the Ride, but Demo days are best for making your final decision.

Try the RIDE

I concur with the selection of the Ride. Still, it is best to demo the ones on your list.
