I also bought a Feathercraft K-Light without paddling it at all.  I based it 
on reviews.

I also bought a double Klepper without paddling it and having only read about 
it.  I had also read Lindemann's book.

Also, I bought a Feathercraft K-1 from Joanne Turner having only sat in it in 
the showroom floor and read about it.

All of these boats were previously used, and sold at a significant discount 
from their cost new.  I thought that if I found that I had made a mistake I 
should be able to sell them for about what I had paid.

So far I am happy with all of them.  If in the future my needs and tastes 
change I'll sell them.
