note I'll demo one if I can find it, but for the money, the Prijons are tough to beat: adjustable thigh braces... New

Re: note Eat more pizza!  I find that gaining weight makes all my boats steadier in the wind.  Or, get a Pyranha Speeder. <NT> ezwater New
Re: more Seriously, that boat is designed to behave best when carrying some gear as well as you.  Few touring/sea kayaks are ezwater New

...more comfortable foot pegs (what does the speeder have, do you know?)
A bit more of a real touring boat design and shape.  Two VERY waterproof
hatches.  Trim adjustment on the seat (up, down, forward and back).

Of course, at $1700, it costs more than the Speeder does!

When I bought my Barracuda, I demo'd a lot of boats.  The only one that I came
close to liking as much didn't have ANY of the fit adjustments I mentioned above,
the footpegs were crappy, and it cost twice as much.  Of course, it weighed  about 2/3
what the Barracuda weighed.  The Barracuda comes in at 65 pounds without the
outfitting.

and I'm looking for something that will get me around Lake Erie.

smile Isn't VERY waterproof kind of like "a little pregnant?" julesagogo New
note Basically yes.  A lot of the "waterproof" hatches on touring boats seep from water... rroberts New
