great boat to paddle, but my experience runs shallow. I have never paddled
another kayak and have nothing else to compare it against. I have said in

Me too.  I'm not a technophile and didn't want to get caught up in volume,
chines, rockers, etc or I'd still be trying to make a decision.  I had heard
good things about the Looksha IV, paddled a plastic Looksha during my
courses so bought a FG one immediately after the classes.  I haven't paddled
anything else because I don't want lustful thoughts to begin festering. The
Sealoution is the only the only boat that I've found visually tempting.

I had to grow into the Looksha (ability wise, not physically) because of the
initial stability and it took a week or so before my cheek muscles relaxed.
I am not dis-satisfied with the Looksha IV so I guess I'd do it over again.
Well, maybe I'd test drive the Sealoution just to see how it felt.

Ah, how the mechanically challenged envy you.  I've only seen a couple of
wooden boats but have stopped to admire each of them.  Canoes too.
