I live in southern New England. The average temps now should be about 50 and the current water temp is 41. I have ruled out owning a dive boat because of space limitations at home. I keep looking at kayaks especially the current OK Prowler 13's and 15's. I am wondering how usable a SOT would be in this area.
What are the air temp/water temp ranges people find they can reasonably deal with? If I could use a kayak mid May through October I would consider it a good investment.
How hard or uncomfortable is it to paddle in a full wetsuit? I wear a one piece 7mm suit.
In a 13 to 15 ft kayak what is a resaonable range to expect to travel in an hour in a SOT kayak full of dive gear?
Is a rudder a good investment for this type of kayak?
I looked through this forum but it seems to be one of the least used on Scubaboard. Hopefully there are a few readers who can help.
Thanks.
