help me make a choice

I want to build a strip kayak no more than 17 feet long. Where I paddle there can be some wind so I want one which sheds wind well, tracks well and is reasonably fast and stable. After some research I am headed in the direstion of either the "Georgian Bay" or the "Spring Run". Are there other good choices? Will someone who is experienced with either kayak please help me with some insight into their performance? Thank you

I am 5' 11" and weigh 175#.
