Default Advice needed for old guy who wants to paddle

Canoe!

Bell Magic or Merlin II ? Either of them weighs thirty-something pounds in
the KevCrystal or Black Gold lay-up. I have a Magic in White Gold
(fiberglass/Kevlar - 42 pounds) and I LOVE to paddle this boat. (I'm 6'2",
255 lbs.) I kind of wish I had bought the Black Gold version but it was
hard to justify spending an additional $600 to cut four pounds of weight.

If you really want a kayak, I think the Wilderness Systems Pungo 140 is a
great boat. It's stable but cruises nicely. It has a comfortable seat and
a large cockpit. I think they weigh about 50 pounds. I was paddling one
today and enjoyed it.

Good paddling,
Bob Scott
