Hello all, I live in Gainesville, FL, and would like to buy a kayak to be used for diving. This will be the first kayak I have owned, so if it came with paddle etc, that would be best. I am willing to drive a few hours out if the price is right for pickup. Also, since I am currently enrolled in vet school, I do not have endless funds to buy a new kayak, so used is also what I will be looking for. I am 5'11" 185 pounds, so I do not need anything in the big boy boat range, but it does have to be a sit-on-top style. I have read a lot of information, and something along the lines of the Ocean Kayak Scrambler XT or the likes (not sure since I am new if the Scupper Pro TW would be too unstable for me). Of course any personal suggestions or affadavits would be great. I do not know if something like the Sevylor XK2020 or ST5696 would be a good option either (though ebay has them the latter for a not bad price). I am looking to spend (again being living on student loans) around $200 - $250.

Thanks all,
Jeremy
