I am a HUGE fan of Kayaking and I am in the market to purchase one.

I am looking for boat reccomendations.  
I want a recreational Kayak or light touring kayak for sure.  
10.5-12.5’ in length with decent tracking but good speed and handling.

EMS has a pretty good sale right now with boats 20% off and gear 15% off.

price range is 600-1000 dollars for everything (boat, pfd, paddle)  
I wont need to buy a roof rack.

These are some of the boats i have been eyeing:
