Anybody out there that can compare these boats? I have 2 Outer Islands and love the boat, but it is getting time to build another stripper. I wonder how the Night Heron and King paddles compared to the OI. Looking at the boats on a computer screen gives me some ideas, but if there is anybody that has tried these boats and could comment, it would be helpful.While we are at it, I know the RBA is a very different kayak, but I would love any comments from anybody that has tried it. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and if there are any of these boats in the flesh around here, I would love to have a look. Thanks mucho!
