As for kayak "fit", a very seasoned pro paddler told me once: just look at the morphology and paddling styles of the designers / firm owners, and you will have a good idea of who the kayaks are for and their paddling characteristics. I always felt there was some truth in it for well known / famed kayaks that have "character". Then there are the many bland ones - specified by marketers. Does that make any sense to you given you recent experiences? Happy decision making...

I am now waiting for the boys at P&H to get my Cetus LV ready :-) The LV is a different beast than the Cetus, more playfull & a lot lower volume... I have paddled all of the P&H boats, and believe that they are really producing boats that will last a lifetime physically & design wise all the best MikeD I like agree with your thoughts on the P&H boats, I have paddled the Quest LV for the past 4 years, a really great boat.
