If you're at all interested in getting one, you should check out The Outdoor Source's Thursday night (if it's still going on) kayak demo and get an idea of what style might fit you and your needs best. Storage is a bit of an issue with me as well, but I'm setting up a hook system in my garage ceiling this week to stow it away during the off season. If you get one next year, I'll be happy to meet up with you some.
