I have a Seaward Tyee. For the most part I am pleased with it. It tracks very well, has good capacity, a large cockpit for my big feet, an attractive line, good primary and secondary stability, and nice construction details. I think it is about average or a little slower than most boats, but not overly so. My only complaint is with the seat. I found the original seat very uncomfortable and have replaced it. Others find the seat to be OK. You'll have to consider it. I also had a problem with the local dealer, who would not let me paddle the boat before buying. I ended up flying to Seattle and trying boats in the Seattle area, and then ordering the boat through a Poulsbo, Washington dealer and having it shipped to me. It might be worth driving a few states away to try the boat (and seat) first. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Aug 31 1999 - 10:06:48 PDT
