Jeff,

I bought a Buck's Bag South Fork and am quite happy with it. I got mine through outdrs.com, they have the best price on that boat BY FAR! They also carry Outcasts and a few other brands. Check them out. The customer service is great, and they even let me try the 6' oars, then trade them in for 7' oars for a minimal fee. Go with the 7' oars. My boat with oar rests and anchor system was $614 shipped to my door. You will pay $200 more elsewhere. I would suggest a 15 pound pyramid anchor for your stopping power. It will hold you in most water, providing you have enough rope.

I also added an old cooler on the back and attached a few rod storage racks to it for another $20. That way I can pack three or more rods, a net, a spare oar, food for the day, soda, beer, and still have a large dry space for extra clothes. Gonna add another accessory for Winter runs, a gun rack!
