I took the OP to say they were looking for a boat to use when out camping near a lake or river -- NOT that they wanted to camp from the kayak. And many factors play into whether you want a short boat or a long boat. A touring boat is fine for many things, but there are lots of places I'd just soon have the 10 to 12 footer, especially slow rivers, small lakes, and such. Jim
