: Hey Wait,
: Here is my Nikumi. I think it meets most of what you may be looking
: for, speed, tracking and load. The Sea Tour 17 EXP has a wider
: beam and may feel less tender for bird watching and other no
: handed activities. I helped a friend build a Sea Tour 15 EXP and
: he likes his kayak very much.
: I did adjust the deck height on this NIKUMI by 1/2 inch larger with
: no problem. The one great advantage to a Yost build is the cost.
: With the price below 200 bucks you can easily build both and
: bring a friend. Good luck and have fun building.

The Nikumi really charms me a lot. What about the 17' version?
The SeaTour is also nice and I saw there is a 15' version.

Actually I am seeking a roomy, fast and good tracking boat but not much longer than 15' .
