I have 2 pelican persuit 200's, they are 12 feet. Got a deal I couldn't say no to. I have a truck and use them all the time, anything over 12 feet will to be long to get into the back waters. the 12 foot is nice because it is a little easier for longer trips. I have spent many a day out in it. As for rod holders, I got mine from bass pro, they had 2 similar to the scotty for $16 last year, and I got a flush mount adapter for $2.80. I started kayaking with a higher end inflateable. I still own 3 of them and love them. I will not sell them. what you loose in efficiency yoo gain in stability (they will not tip) and portability. I have used mine for fishing extensivly and they still have no holes. I have owned mine for 6 years and my wifes for 3. What is really nice about them is 3 of them with fishing gear will fit in the trunk of a honda civic, as well as an overnight bag when going to a friends cottage. I brought them to myrtle beach in the civic when we went and used them in the ocean. I have used the inflateables in the big waves of lake erie (without fishing gear!) and had a lot of fun, also I have used them in the alora george with all the whitwater kayakers with there expensive boats playing beside me. Paid $150 for each at BJ's in the states, but West marine also has some. Here is a link to mine http://www.airkayaks.com/products/Advanced-Elements-Firefly-Inflatable-Kayak-%252d-AE1020.html
Again if you have a car or its your first kayak trust me go inflateable you will use it more than any boat you own. and you can store it under yourr bed! With the canvas cover they are very durable. If i pop one I will get another.
