New Guy needs help

[debowhunter]

Hi! New guy looking for help. I want try fishing from a kayak. Two models that I am interested in are the Old town Vapor XT and add fishing accessories myself. Plus my wife has one and loves it, the other is the Ocean Kayak Trident II. My main concern is I want something stable and dry. I will mainly be fishing from it in the Susquehanna River and a couple small lakes in Lancaster PA with the occasional trip down to the Chesapeake Bay. I have about 1200 to spend which one would be a better match and is a sit on top more stable fishing platform? From what I can tell most guys go to them. Thanks for any help to guide my decision.
