My dad, good friend, and I all recently got hoodoo tempest 120p pedal drive kayaks and love them! The kayaks are $1,200 and easily modifiable as you see fit. They are very stable and we use them in monterey Bay. I would check them out. I was worried the hull would not be super good quality as they are a budget wise brand that uses a common hull produced in China but the hull is actually quite thick and good quality. And they customer service is phenomenal. I replaced a vibe seaghost with the hoodoo and wouldn't go back.
^^^ Looks like another good option ^^^

I also got a Hoodoo Tempest 120P.  When I bought it, it was not a well known brand and not much info on it.  I got it for the cheap price and the light weight.  Works well for me.  I've take it out of HMB 5 times already, no issues.  For a budget kayak, built quality is not bad.  The pedal drive is built of aluminum, pretty solid.
