My kayak is over 20 years old.

As I mentioned in [The Kayak Thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-kayak-thread/987161), I got a sit-inside kayak with my REI rewards in July. My 20-year-old Ocean Kayak is a sit-on-top. I’d never paddled when I got it, and I was also heavier; so I got a big one – 13 feet with a rudder, and three feet wide. I wanted stability because the waves in the Pacific Ocean can be three or four feet on a calm day. Compared to my sit-on-top, the sit-inside feels less stable.
