Perception Koho 11.5 Kayak

It's easy to transport Perception's Koho 11.5 Kayak down to the shore, and this stable craft's sit-on-top design makes hoping on board a cinch. Bow, stem, and side handles help with carrying the Koho, while a bow storage hatch holds extra layers and snacks. Use the Koho Kayak's molded footbraces when the water gets choppy, and stash a refreshing beverage in the cup holder when you're out for leisurely paddles across the lake.

Bottom Line: An un-complicated, easy-to-paddle sit-on-top for recreational paddlers.

just getting into boating...i want to do some overnight stuff so should i go with an enclosed boat? or would something like this work?

Hey, I have two boats, a 12ft sit in rec boat and a SOT almost identical to this, different brand. The SOT is MUCH better for me for overnights and such. Much more like an SUV, I can strap tons of stuff on it, like this boat a great space for a good sized cooler (very difficult to accomadate in a sit in boat) and the dry hatch space is almost as large as the main (rear) dry hatch in my sit it. Bottom line, don't worry about looking professional, worry about what will do the job for you and give you the best experience....and not having to learn rolls and such is not a bad thing, roll the SOT and you just roll it back while in the water and climb back on top.

I would like a SOT kayak no more the 11ft long, fast SOT and stable. The Koho 11.5 is nice but I feel I could tip over especially

From my experience I would say longer is generally better. Only reason to go shorter is if you can't lift a longer boat onto your car or whatever or money. Very doubtful your little rat terrier would cause stability problems from my experience...but for sure some boats are more stable than others. Generally the more stable (wider and/or flatter the hull) the more effort they take to paddle. Of course I've found virtually every kayak to be quite easy to paddle relative to every other choice out there, some are just better than others in that regard.
