I would like to thank everyone who responded both to the list and back channel to my request for advice on helping my wife pick a boat. I haven't responded to you individually, because the response I received was overwhelming. Thank you all!!! We did a lot of research and checked out a number of boats. She fell absolutely in love with the fiberglass Perception Shadow and found that she really didn't need to use the rudder with the boat. She also decided that it might be nice to have in case she ever did need it. To soothe my feelings because I paddle a boat that was previously owned and not brand new, I purchased a new skirt and PFD.
