Soooo - I've kayaked every now and then for a couple of years, rented or borrowed kayaks on short (1-3 hours) trips, lake or calm sea. And I've finally realized that I really really really want my OWN kayak, that will fit me well. And then I realized how darn expensive they are

I was thinking of buying one used, but now I've got a reasonably good offer on a new Prijon Catalina:

and am going to try it out in the water today. It's a very snug kayak, not much room in there.

But I also just now saw a Necky Eliza on sale:

It would cost a bit more, but includes a vest (which I already have), a carbon oar, and a spraydeck.

Has anybody tried any of these? They're both what I'm looking for, which is a snug, low-volume, fast but reasonably stable sea kayak in plastic. Oh and lightweight and cheap too, of course
