I will compile a summary of all these responses and publish it back to the list for everyone. So far, though, there have only been 16 responses. There must be more than 16 subscribers out there with boats. Come on you Guillemot and Laughing Loon owners, come on you rotomold owners, and Coaster owners. Let's hear it. Even if you rent only, post an email describing which boat(s) you like the most. >> Oh, all right. I'll come out from lurk mode to contribute in the name of science. My touring boat is an Arluk II. It's an old model (ten years old) with vcp front hatch, a tied down back hatch and a small cockpit. I love everything about this boat and can't imagine a better boat for my purposes (except recently I've been fantasizing about something narrower, perhaps a 19" beam). I have an Umiak for the kids, although the oldest now needs a full size boat, and the youngest isn't too far behind. My main surfing boat is a Sabre. I also use a custom made surf boat and a wave ski for various conditions. I work part time as an instructor for a retail outfit so I have an opportunity to "play" with a large variety of boats in varying conditions. This satiates my need to try new boats.
