Thank you for your input. I'm Dan's friend who is considering either a CLC or Pygmy. Just received Pygmy's catalog which has a page that compares all of their kayaks in different areas like efficiency, speed, top speed, stability. Unless I'm shooting for just one of those areas like top speed only, the Coho seems to best the most versatile. I've heard some negative comments on CLC's designs/long term strength. The only negative I've head about the Pygmys is their higher cost after hatches are added. (Perhaps following the adage of you get what you pay for.)
I think my decision leads me to the Coho. I'll be ordering in 2 weeks to begin assembly in March.
Feel free to share any additional comments. Thank you for your input.
