I know it is probably out of your budget, but I fish from the Hobie Pro Angler. Hobie has several models that utilize their Mirage pedal system. The best advice I can give you is money spent on comfort is well spent. You don't want to have to cut your trip short because your back is sore or your legs are going to sleep. I am a member of Hobie's fishing team and would love to let you try out the Pro Angler. Hit me up one afternoon and come to Guntersville and you can demo it and see what you think.
