Dear fellow PaddleWisenhiemers; I have managed to get myself into a state of confusion. I will be buying a new kayak in the spring, and I thought I had my choice all made with the Current Designs Extreme. Then Ken Fink had me try out a Necky Looksha III. Nice boat, so I'm a little indecisive. Then I started looking at the Seda Glider! I would like feedback on any and all of these boats in order to help me decide, or you can add to my confusion be suggesting other boats that I haven't thought of yet. I am looking for a boat in the 19 foot range, 23 inch beam max. although I prefer less than 22. Mostly for day tripping, but I intend to do a few weekends and such. My current boat is a Current Designs Caribou, but I want something a bit faster. All suggestions will be taken into consideration, with the final decision being made on the water. I really enjoy shopping for boats, so this should prove fun indeed. That is why I start looking so early. Thanks for the help. As another thread said, this is a great group! Mike -- Paddling along through fog so thick that only one's thoughts are visible, your reverie is abruptly shattered by the ancient cry of a great blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
