Here's where I'm at right now. In a couple of days I'm going to place an order for either the Pygmy Coho or the Pygmy Osprey HP. The Coho is an obvious safe bet. The HP is more attractive to me on specs alone. I've gotten used to a very high performance glass boat (Eddyline Falcon 18) (only 21" beam) and it's way responsive with little initial stability. Considering all of the time. effort and $$$ involved in a kit, I really don't want to bet on the wrong boat. I would greatly appreciate some critical feedback about building/ paddling/ owning the Oprey HP. Thanks, Bill woetjen@zoo.uvm.edu
