I paddled a Coho briefly during a class on Saturday. The boat has a lot
of rocker for a sea kayak, so it was very maneuverable. A 135 degree
high brace turn was easy. I could even do decent bow draws. Also rolls
nicely. I didn't have time to really test the other side of the coin,
tracking, so can't comment about it.

The owner of the boat said that assembly was pretty easy. He said he
needed more epoxy, but otherwise the kit was complete.
