I think you'll be very happy with your choice. I finished my Coho back in Nov and have been very pleased with how everything came out. Good Luck.

: 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.
