Niilus, right you are.  A garage full of kayaks, one for each use, is the 
best way to go- if you can afford it.  I have three: a Folbot Super for 
fishing and sailing, a Folbot sporty for all around paddling and some 
sailing, and a Folbot Kodiak for journeys longer than a day trip.  I don't 
believe I'd be any happier with Kleppers or Feathercrafts (or any less 
happy) but I would be a -lot- poorer.
The money I saved will pay for a lot of trips and gear.  And as I said my 
Folbots have never let me down.
