Good kayak to get started in the sport. Don't forget the pfd/life vest. I also see the 12' WS Pungo on sale at $825. and it's a whole level up in performance, heavier build (rotomold plastic), and very comfortable seating. These have been around for decades and paddle well on most any kinds of water conditions. They do hold their value too. Another mid level kayak similar to the Pungo is the Old Town Dirigo 12' or 14'. I had the Dirigo 12' for about 5 years and then moved to a 16' sea kayak. I wish I had kept the Dirigo as it's an excellent all around kayak. http://www.sportsmans.com/boats-k.../p/1521303

275 pound weight capacity is very limiting. In general, you only want to use 70% of the capacity. Any more and stability starts to go down. Might be good for a child I guess.

So I'm interested in some kind of Kayak. I'm 220, that's 80% of the 275 here. This would make the boat unstable?

Not everyone weighs over 200lbs. "A child."

Unless you're hitting heavy chop you'll be fine. This boat would be fine for rivers, creeks, lakes, calm bays and inlets etc. although I always suggest a full sit on top kayak.

I'm looking at use in mostly lakes. Very flat water.

Would be fine. A sit on top kayak is best all around though, and easier to flip and won't sink. The one on sale is $300, so a $100 more but I promise in the long term it's absolutely worth it.

Something like this will last a long time and be a better choice.

This kayak listed just gets people on the water. The Pungo is sooo much better.

Not necessarily, but you can have gear. Its a recreational kayak so it's pretty flat on the bottom. It might not be the most comfortable. Im 215. I would paddle it to get in some backwaters, but the ws pungo someone else mentioned would be better. Or get a Wilderness Systems kayak off marketplace. There are other good brands too.
