I bought a 10' Lifetime Tamarack sit-on fishing model last spring. been quite happy with a $300 purchase. We mostly float rivers so pedals aren't really necessary. I do plan to upgrade the seat before next season.
Get one, you'll most likely love it! We hit the river most every weekend we were home all summer along with many weekday evenings.
FYI- weight ratings do matter....mine was discounted due to a guy initially purchasing it that was over the rating.
