Old Town Otter XT

I read some reviews at Paddling.net (http://www.paddling.net/Reviews/showReviews.html?prod=2376)
I found the Old Town Otter XT
9’6″ length, 28.5″ width, weighs 39 lbs., 225-275 lbs. capacity
Adjustable back rest and foot braces
Paddle keeper
Colors vary by location
It was priced in store at $280.
DunhamsSports.com (http://www.dunhamssports.com/products/old-town-otter-xt-kayak/) has them for $199.99 with a coupon for in store purchase (http://www.dunhamssports.com/wp-content/uploads/_my_products_coupon/7810-fcb38bd3.jpg).
They had a solid yellow one. I grabbed it instead of the red or blue one. Im hoping when I drown it will help to mark my location for the rescue team. I hope it doesnt attract every bee in the area or scare the fish away.
They also have KL Industries Cayman SS Kayak (http://www.dunhamssports.com/products/kl-industries-cayman-ss-kayak/) for $129.99 with a coupon (http://www.dunhamssports.com/wp-content/uploads/_my_products_coupon/7812-e4e058f3.jpg).
Walmart also KL WaterQuest 10' Deluxe Kayak (http://www.walmart.com/ip/KL-WaterQuest-10-Deluxe-Kayak/14550408) with a two piece paddle for $249 in store.
I picked up a Carlisle Day Tripper paddle (http://www.carlislepaddles.com/product/kayak_paddles/day_tripper.aspx) on sale for $30 at Dunhams as well. They come in one and two piece. I picked up a one piece.
I spent about 3 hours in the Otter XT today with my 5 year old crammed in with me. My feet were cramped but I couldnt sit properly with my knees up with her in it. I was worried about the plastic seat with no padding but it was actually pretty comfortable. Padding would definately help on a long float Im sure though.
I know a few of you have been looking for cheap kayaks so maybe that will help you out in getting one to start out with.
So when are we hitting the water?
