These plastic kayaks do indeed provide value in many uses. They are basically 
water toys--and in the end that is what it is all about. When I look at how much 
real canoe tripping our 17.5 ft ultra-light kevlar canoe does, compared to 
paddling across a little lake and back, I think we could have saved a bundle of 
money....

My kids use our old Perception Dancer (remember when that was a hot ww kayak!) 
as a toboggan.  Two or three teenagers piled on it and it is the fastest thing 
on the hill.
