I ended up going with a 13 foot old town next canoe.
Got it on sale for $790
I have set up an anchor system.

Flight01, so you went with a canoe instead of a kayak?
Hmmm...
I can't wait to get my Catch 120!
The only good thing to say about waiting, is that I'm working straight through 'til Sept 6 anyway.
Plus it's been raining too much. The McLeod R is high and higher each day, and muddy. Muddier and muddier...

Check out the next by old town. It's considered a hybrid. But I call it a canoe. One person , easy to get around, I use a double bladed paddle. From across the pond you'd think I was in a kayak. I like it for the open space and 450 pound capacity. Rides a bit higher too.

I looked at the Catch 120 and the Preception Pescador Pro 120 along with a few others and settled on the Pescador Pro 120. I bought it at Aquabatics and they were great to deal with.

I am by no means a kayak expert, but comparing this one to a few others on the water, I know I made the right choice.
Stable, tracks well, easy to paddle and has lots of room for fishing and the seat is very comfortable. Have rigged it out with a Warner Skagit paddle and Scotty rod holders and gear tracks. Next spring will get the mount for my Lowrance and set that up. Have caught walleye, pike and rainbows from it and I am hooked!!!
Good luck on your purchase!!
Cheers

Sitkaspruce, those Perception kayaks are pretty nice looking. When I was looking at options, I really liked them.
Again, in my case, cuz I'm in the small town, that had a lot to do with the choice I made. I'm pretty sure if I had lived in either Calgary or Edmonton, I'd probably have looked at Jackson, Wilderness Systems (I really like the look of the Ride 135) or maybe the Pescador.
Having said that, all the reviews by Catch 120 owners are extremely positive, and I'm certain I've also bought a fine kayak.
Flight01, that is also a pretty nice looking canoe-kayak that you bought.
