Suzie,

I am constantly fine tuning my fleet.  Here is a quick run down.

I started with a plastic Sea Lion.  I loved it (and still do).  A few months
after that, I decided I needed to learn white water kayaking.  So I bought a
used Perception Dancer XT.  8 months after that, I decided I needed a faster
boat.  So I bought a Seda Glider (a really fast, Kevlar boat).   9 months
later,  I decided I needed a portable boat I could travel with.  So I bought
a Feathercraft Khatsalano.  About 9 months after that, I decided to upgrade
my white water boat, so I bought a Dagger Redline.  

That was maybe 10 months ago.  I now am about to buy an ocean play boat
(probably a Kevlar Looksha Sport), a creek boat (i.e. a high volume white
water boat for big water), and a cheap plastic double kayak (for the kids)
In about 9 months, I plan to buy a new racing boat (probably a Speedster ---
though the Phantom sure looks good).  In about 18 months, I will probably
buy a Falcon 16 for my wife and 6 months after that, I'll probably sell my
Glider and replace it with a Falcon 18.

Oh yeah, and I need to buy a new house with a oversized three car garage to
hold all my boats.
