I did just find this...

Quote:
SINK (sit-in)

Faster and easier to paddle than most sit-on kayaks
You stay relatively dry
Protected from the elements (sun, cold, rain, etc)
Designed for covering longer distances
Dry storage areas for equipment
Best for day trips and touring
Can be difficult to get in and out (especially on the water)
Smaller cockpits
May require a spray skirt in rough water
Movement is restricted and you cannot easily change positions
In hot weather a sit-in can get very warm under the deck, especially when using a spray skirt
Minimal access to items placed on back deck (back part of kayak) and no access to items in dry storage

SOT (sit-on)

Stability is usually greater than sit-in
Relatively easy to get in and out (including on the water)
Freedom of movement
Large storage areas on the deck, easily accessible
Best for fishing and surfing
Exposed to the elements (sun, cold, water, etc)
Exposed to wave splash and constant drip from the paddle
Slower and more difficult to paddle than sit-in
You will always have a wet bottom from sitting in small amount of water
