have you tried Posted by: sapien on Oct-18-12 8:23 PM (EST)
the Buyer's Guide here on P-Net? http://www.paddling.net/buyersguide/Kayaks.html select 14 to 15 ft, and see what comes up for further research and possible test paddles. a couple significant things to consider besides price, since you mentioned multi-day trips -- seat comfort for long intervals of paddling, and hull volume. depending on how you pack, you may find certain lower-volume models limiting. that Journey should be a fun one to try out.
