     I 'm not the least bit defensive about my plastic boats that I own and I 
 do consider them cheap by comparison to the Kevlar rocket I also paddle. 
Each 
 boat has it strengths and weaknesses, hasn't Duane made this point clear 
 enough??
 
 Hey Duane!  a little help here please !!!

Paddlewisers,

I would say that plastic sea kayaks are less expensive and cheaper to use.  
For example, Chris Duff has already smashed one fiberglass sea kayak on his 
extremely demanding and rough expedition, and he could smash one or two more 
fiberglass sea kayaks before he finishes the expedition.  On the other hand, 
he could do the whole expedition in one plastic sea kayak, and afterwards, it 
would still be in good enough shape for a few more expeditions.  I don't need 
to do the math.

Who has one wooden,
two fiberglass, and 
four plastic kayaks!
