Hi John,

This one is definately not for the faint of heart, it's long and skinny and very tippy, about the stability of an older K1, it's a SOF and still weighs a ton, basically the structure of two boats side by side. It's fast though.

There is a fishing cat kayak that looks interesting, made by Delta:

Saw it at Canoecopia last year, looked interesting, probably a copy of the discussion a couple of us had online last year :)
