I have 3 boats: Wilderness Systems Piccalo - for kids and smaller friends who want to learn to paddle. It's a sleek litte boat for it's size and cost and with an experienced paddler, can keep up with the group. Seda Impulse - 18' 48lbs - Straight tracking, stable and fast boat that rides high in the water. Ideal for after work summer workouts on the Intracoastal. 2ndary stability a bit tricky.. Falcon 16 kevlar - 16' 40 lbs - great all around boat - likes rough water but a bit tender. I max it out at 6' 210lbs... Next boat: Kevlar Falcon 18 44lbs- All the minor failings of the 16 corrected and one of the nicest boats I've paddled.. This will probably replace the Impulse... None of the above have rudders and most of the usage is day trips. Make em light, fast with good tracking and manuaverable when leaned.
