We have a plastic Sealution II.  It was my wife's boat until we found a 
glass boat for her (Solstice ST).

Apart from how it paddles, the Sealution was the first boat that caught my 
eye as a newbie kayaker many years ago.  The glass version is a bit finer 
than the plastic one.  There is someting about its shape that touches my 
soul.  Again, performance aside, I love the way it looks.
