i currently run a native watercraft ultimate 14.5. it is a very comfotable boat and is stable due to its tunnel hull. its a canoe/kayak hybrid (not a sit on top) so you need spray skirts over the bow and stern if youre paddling in white caps.
I was thinking about getting another kayak and i was wondering what is your favorite. The only thing is that i would have to use this kayak in moving water as well, so if you could tell me your favorite brand that would be great

It depends on what your budget is, some are 2 thousand dollars.

If you're going to fish out of it...I love my Wilderness Systems 14' Tarpon (SOT), but I also fish from my WS Tsunami 145. Wilderness Systems is my favorite brand name....but I have Necky's/Old Town/too.

Well, I was thinking of getting a charger, but I dunno.

That looks like a decent yak, but I'd consider something longer. Longer will typically track better....it all depends on where you're gonna use it.
My shortest yak is 13.5'...but I can take it anywhere (up to class II water) and it tracks very well, but it is a sit-in. My Tarpon 14' is wonderful...I can actually stand up and cast in calm water...it'll haul a ton of weight...it's width does make it slower... but not by much.

What level of moving water are you thinking?
