Pete, We have a Patuxent 17 that we now hardly ever put in the water. Just doesn't handle well enough for our tastes. I suspect that the Merganser would be nicer to paddle. Nothing wrong with the CLC kayak, we just prefer to paddle something different. ( what actually happened was that the Patuxent was the SO's yak, and after I built the first Cormorant 16, the Patuxent suddenly became my yak ;>( ).
