Here they are:
I dont know much about any "Ocean Kayaks" other than pack and paddle decided to remove them from our lineup. They're pretty low caliber compared to WIlderness Systems, but i don't know about the stability of either O,K, models. The Ride 135 has been a best seller for us for a long time. The 2012 hull design is brand new for 2012. they raised the weight capacity from 400 to 550 lbs. and its kind of heavy, but its the most stable all the Sit on Top kayaks other than the Diablo Adios. Ive paddled them all and am a big fan of the ride 135 especially pre2012. but the new ones are great too.
I would recomend the Heritage Redfish 12, Ride 115 or Ride 135. If he's a freshwater fishermen He may like the Jackson Coosa. All under 1000 bucks
