Wow, thanks John! I really appreciate the response and I learned
something new. I wasn't aware of the Pelican/Coleman relationship, just
seemed a lot like the Pelican Pursuit. The coleman does have a
watertight bulkhead and the bungee cords in the front and back. The
Otter has none of this.

I understand that this is not a day touring model, I was just trying to
say it is more elongated and has more of the features of a day touring
yak. I'll most likely go with the Coleman for the features it offers.

Apparently it is a brand new offering as the store claimed they were
new as of this week, and yes there is no information online anywhere
including Coleman's site yet about it. That was why I turned to this
NG, in hopes someone may know something. It figures after having my
mind made up and going to purchase our kayaks a dark horse enters the
picture and throws it all out of whack.

Thanks again.
