Also, a bilge pump is a must for a sit in kayak if you think you will take on any water. https://www.amazon.com/Seattle-Sports-Paddlers-Bilge-Pump/dp/B0020KAZIK

Thanks for all the good suggestions.... are they easily secured to a top of a mini- van? I don't have a truck.
Thanks! How are you feeling?

Something like this helps for sure.
Someone on here suggested flipping it over and practicing reentering it. My son and I did this on the old beach at Stine Mtn lake. We started up shallow and worked out towards deep water to learn open water reentry. This took away all of his fear of flipping and greatly increased his confidence. Only problem is now we have to flip at least once on every trip.

It also depends greatly on your budget. I bought this one (in camo, not that ugly whatever it is). http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/perception-pescador-angler-12-sit-on-kayak No complaints for the money at all but if I was buying another today, it would have an adustable seat (their "Pro" model does).

And to be complete, you would have to register it if you ever intended to rig any type motorized propulsion (trolling motor).
With that being the case, you may want to consider looking into an inflatable one. I have NO experience with them though.
I will make it. Thanks man.
