I find it rather amazing that a store would not let you try a kayak before
buying.  If they are concerned with scratches/nicks then they should have
demo boats available.  That is the cost of doing business.  If a store
won't let you try out the kayak, go somewhere that will.

Second, a few minutes in a boat is not sufficient to truely get the feel of
the boat.  You need to spend some real time in the boat and in some
different conditions.  Take the time to reseach your  investment.  I know
from experience, having purchased a boat last year and then purchasing
another one this year.
