Ouch! Hard question, Jack. Actually, I''ve played this with others, except I ask "If you could only own one boat for the rest of your life, what would it be?" Since you were a gentleman and let us off the hook a bit, I'll bite-- I might make you an offer on your Pintail when you get your CLC finished. I frequently use one for classes and short trips and love it. But my short list, which I've boiled down from hundreds I've tried, would also include (this week only): the Sparrow Hawk, Shenai/skeg, Slipstream, Skerray MX, Mariner XL, a little-guy version of the Discover (without rudder so I could install a skeg), composite Sea Lion or Sea Lion-S (worsicias), Extreme (worsicias), a Betsy Bay, one of the Pygmy kits (spending the saved bucks on less-healthy pursuits), or I MIGHT replace my Sealution with skeg and would certainly like to replace my Khatsalano if it was the unfortunate lump-o-bits. But, you'd better check with me again in a couple months. Love is fickle. Harold So. Cal., so many good boats, so little cash. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Mar 10 1999 - 21:15:29 PST
