That is not cheap for a plastic boat of any kind.>> Ohh, I'm sooo misunderstood! But, you do have a point...inexpensive would have been a better word, and I in no way was putting down entry-level SOT's (the kind you see at beach resorts, etc, not necessarily the better appointed ones). I simply meant it the same way one would say that a master craftsman can work in wood, creating a sea worthy kayak, or it could be a craftsman working in fiberglass or whatever - I have no right to say what is best. Anyway, I get what I deserve for sending misc ramblings written late at night. I'll just stick to silly little gear issues that people seam to love to talk about, and write up some of my log book stuff or report on any accidents I run across. Take care.

Open mouth, insert foot deeper. :) :) and, following Ralph's sneaky style, I won't even make fun of your misspelling "seam" for "seem" It was cool reading the latest Sea Kayaker and seeing your book report and Gary Luhm's article. I now find that when I'm reading letters I always go to the end first to see if it's a P'wise name I recognize.
