2 to 20 feet? As in fishing 2 to 20 feet of water? The mini X would be my choice of those, but you might want something longer, maybe an OK Scrambler or something.

A friend of mine started out with a Cobra Escape but found that you really
couldn't rig it for fishing. He then went to the Mini-X which rigged very nicely
but didn't track well for any length of paddling. He now has a tarpon 100 and
is very happy.
You mention the depth you plan to fish but more important is how far you
want to paddle and under what conditions such as wiind wave and tides.

i want to paddle around 1 mile a trip, and i'll go out mostly in swells about 1 to 3
