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.
