[Paddlewise] Merlin XT

Mike

I read your post on paddlewiise concerning your experience with the
Merlin XT and would like your opinion.  My wife and I (new to kayaking)
started to rent sea kayaks last year on Lake Superior and we are looking
to buy.  I was considering the Merlin XT;  we want to do inland lakes
and the big lakes (Michigan & Superior) for day tripping.  My thoughts
were that it might be a good boat to car top,  stiffer boat than poly
and cheaper than glass.  Since we are in our early fifties I was hoping
to make my first purchase, my last purchase.  Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

Fred
