: OK, Lee, now that folks have freely participated, let me ask you directly.
: If I were to build a CLC boat, which one would you recommend for me? My
: thinking is that it would be either the 14 or the LT16, but I'm not sure
: which. And second, if I were absolutely NOT going to build a CLC kayak,
: which one would you recommend? How's that for putting you on the spot?

: Patsy
I like the idea of a smaller boat so get the 14, but then what if you want more stability? get the LT16. I'd recommend chatting with folks of your size for real feedback on paddling the boats you're interested in. Check out the review in Sea Kayaker, June issue on smaller boats. This is starting to feel like "Do you like what I'm wearing",, I'm getting nervous. Feel free to contact me for misc. ramblings, I'll be incommunicado though after Sat. as I'll be paddling in Maine.
