Hello everyone, new guy here. Been lurking for a few weeks and gathering as much info as possible.

Currently my wife and I paddle 10 foot recreational kayaks but I am seeking a new sea kayak in the very near future.

I was able to demo a few plastic boats in the 14 foot range (Wildereness Tsunami 140,Perception Carolina 14 and Necky Manitou 14. What a difference compared to 10'x28" ! But..... I really want a 17 foot boat.

I'm looking for a reasonably priced ($1200-$1500) one and want something that tracks very well, decent stability & good speed. I'm more interested in great tracking over highly maneuverable.

I keep coming back to the Venture Kayaks Easky 17 Easky 17

Does anyone have experience with this model ?

Thank You,
fz
