my husband and I have demo'd Tsunami 135, 140, 145 with and without rudder and I definitely prefer the 135 or 140 without rudder b/c rudder seems to add a lot of weight and I doubt I will use rudder very much (plan to kayak on lakes, slow rivers, or coastal marshes)... but I also demo'd Carolina Perception 14, Inuit 14.5 by Native Watercraft, and Tarpon 120 sit on top and none were nearly as well at tracking or light or speedy as the Tsunami...
I need a boat for day trips and for short overnights... I also really like the phase 3 seating of the Tsunami which is important to me b/c of low back pain at times, and the added wt of a rudder system on demo boats increased my low back pain despite have the same seating system as those boats without rudder... |
