Yes, I tried the Seda Gypsy.  In technical terms, it felt like a "tin can".
The Current Designs Pachena DT  felt like a better made boat (also more
expensive).
I am not going to feel the subtle differences between boats like many of you
do.  I think that that comes with experience with the individual boats.
Now, I see why many of you keep buying and selling kayaks.  Before trying
the Viking, my only concern is that it is not a familiar brand, so I may
have trouble selling it.
Never thought of weighing a kayak before purchase.  From what I am hearing,
it sounds like a good idea.
