I have owned half a dozen kayaks over the last 6-7 swapping and trading owning both the SoT and the SinK. I find the SinK kayaks generally narrower to length and more efficient to paddly. The SoT are easier to manage fishing equipment from.
I enjoy float tripping and camping so have had 14' craft for gear. Right now I have one sit inside, two solo canoe and a tandem canoe.
If you have an Academy neat the Pescador is from the old Wilderness Systems Redfish molds and the Heritage is a good craft with both in your price range.
