My needs are pretty much the same as yours. I bought a Pungo 120 and it
is so much nicer than the Classic Pungo I had before. The seat is
fantastic, I can adjust it a couple of ways and it helps me spend way
more time on the water than I had in the past. I had to go over my
budget by about $200, but I have not regretted it. I thought it was
better to spend more and cry once, then get something I wasn't happy
with and cry often.

Here's a pic of hers and mine.

Hope you find just what you're looking for.

UPDATE: Just an FYI to anyone who cares, I picked up the Coleman
Ultimate 100's the other day for only $229 each on sale with over $100
off each one. They are extremely well made. They are Roto-X hulls so my
guess of them being made by Pelican seem spot on.

Since there is absolutely NO information online, on Colemans site, or
on dunhams, I wanted to post some info.

They are 10' long and almost exactly in the middle of a rec shape and a
day touring yak. They have a nice seat with a padded back. The have a
dry storage compartment aft and decking fore. They are two toned with
the upper half being red and the lower half a tannish color
(Coleman-ish in color) The only thing they lack from the Pelican
Pursuit 100DLX that they are based on are the footpegs. Which I will
just add.

I'll post some pics and more info once I get them out on the water for
a good long time (we've been having T-storms).

Take care,
Dominic

I can hardly believe the words 'Coleman' and 'well made' are in the same
paragraph.

And with a closed mind you never will. The "Coleman" kayak is not made
by Coleman, but Pelican Intl. with a roto-X hull. The fit and finish
are well above both the Otter and the Otter Sport, as well as a few
other "better" brands I have looked at. Side-by-side they have the
advantage in a number of areas, I highly reccomend that you actually
look at one since they are brand new and then make a decision. As I
stated the only thing lacking was the footpegs.

One of the workers there is a kayak and water safety instructor and he
was amazed at them when they came in last week which is how I came to
seriously consider them at all. We went over them from top to bottom
and there were no defects, signs of poor build, or really anything but
plusses for what they are... recreational kayaks. Add into that the
fact that they were at an introductory sale price of $129 off each and
I basically purchased both of them for the price of one.

Pelican Pursuit 100DLX's get very good reviews around the 'net so these
are no different except for the little name badge and color.
