Look on Craigslist in the entire NE... I would suggest the Tarpon over a ride... The longer the faster and better it is... Anything under 14' is meant for a lake or pond in my opinion... Weight doesn't matter when you are going to try and go from point a to point b on the ocean.. I have Friends with bad backs and the Tarpon 16' and 14' are fine... Get a kayak caddy ( which everyone should have) and it's easy as pie.
