Hi
I am looking for my first kayak. I have been on one two day overnight trip and taken a basics class in Portland Oregon. I am looking for primarily a boat for day touring or an occassional overnight. The boat will be used almost exclusively on Puget Sound. I am 6'0" 190lbs (long legs short torso). The folks at Alder Creek suggested a Tempest 170 but havent demo-ed it yet. I took my basics class Perception Expression 15.0 which I found to be very stable and manuervable. I prefer a boat with a skeg and that it be plastic.
What else should I be taking a look at?
Thanks in advance.
