Need more information. Height, weight, where you'll be fishing, how you'll transport it, etc.

I know you said you want to stay around the $1000 mark, but like readtrip said "Demo, Demo, Demo" i decided to go with the Jackson Big Rig and i love it. But sometime i wish i saved up and bought either a hobie or a slayer with their peddle systems.

At $1,000.00 your options are pretty wide ranging.
At that price why not go another $300 to $500 and you can have a really nice kayak that you'll enjoy and not look back and say I wish I had bought that other one!
Just one more cast!

Slayer Propel might be a good fit for you. Especially if you're coming off a boat. It's just a manual trolling motor. But it's well over your budget unless you bite the bullet.
EDIT: There is a guy selling a Wilderness Systems Ride 115 for $750 on the kayak classifieds at the top of the page. Might be worth a look, plus it'll leave you some cash for rigging and whatnot.

If you are around dfw im happy to take you out in a santa cruz raptor. Listen to this guy. Raptor is $1050, stable, fast, plenty of room for customization, and the owner of the company seems to pour his heart and soul into the products he puts out.
