That's because most inflatables actually float on top of the water, rather than cut through it, something most hard-body kayaks do effectively. I would really consider a hard shell if possible such as the Wilderness Systems Tarpon 160i or with the Ocean Kayak Prowler 15. In other words, I think that inflatable and hardcore are mutually exclusive. Despite that, newer kayaks such as the AdvancedFrame (by Advanced elements) is designed to mimic the characteristics of classic boats. Also I've heard that Advanced frame is one of the best. Though the SVX200DS is considered very good, though I know very little about the Sea Eagle brand. I would look at the reviews at : http://www.paddling.net/ . I would also look at this site: http://www.airkayaks.com/. http://www.advancedelements.com/kayaks.html Major Kayaks by Manufacturer: * Advanced Elements, Inc. * Airis Kayaks by Walker Bay * BIC Sport North America * Hobie Kayaks * Innova Recreational Products * NRS, Inc. * Sea Eagle PS> Another thing to consider is the purpose, fishing says a lot but will you be traveling long distances or relatively short ones (long hard shell are the most efficient). Plus most inflatables are best in flat water.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.paddling.net/inflatable-kayaks.html Inflatable boats have a deservedly sketchy rep.
