<excess text removed by admin> 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. 73 Gary At 10:33 AM 2/27/03 -0500, Niilus_at_aol.com wrote: >In a message dated 2/27/2003 4:42:02 AM Pacific Standard Time, >gpewitt_at_execpc.com writes: > > > > > I have had five Folbots and currently have three.
