H3 is WW boat, get a boat with a keel line and rudder, that is stable
and relaxing. Light weight is nice cos you'll have to carry it, at times.
Try before you buy, if not able to try don't buy.

Spend your money on good touring paddles and comfy buoyancy aid, not WW
playboat (H3).

I am a kayaking newby and I have been offered a Pyranha 255 H3 which I am
told is in good nick. I've also been told to move fast as it is a desirable
model. I want to do flat water day touring mainly and while some people say
the H3 is a 'long' boat, others say it is only long for a WW boat.

I've got two questions really: What would seem a fair price for a 2003
model H3 and do you think one could do, say 12 miles in a 'planing hull'
without knackering oneself? One guy said to get a used 50 quid crappo
learner kayak its hull will be more suited to what I need.
