I've paddled the Osprey HP, Coho, Arctic Tern 17 and AT 14 along with seveal of the Chesapeak Light Craft Boats including the Arctic Hawk. For a guy who is just over 200#, the Osprey is the easy pick for me. The Coho seemed too big for some reason. I like the hard tracking of the Osprey. (Lean turning is a must) To each his own. I picked the Osprey out of the options available at the time for the same reason - It would fit in the place I wanted to store it. It was the right choice all around.

: Thanks man! I cant wait to paddle this boat, have you paddled any
: other of Pygmy's kayaks? It was a toss up for me between the
: ospry and the coho, but shop space dictated my decision to build
: the shorter of the two.
