None of them is specialized
Posted by: pikabike on Dec-24-12 11:01 PM (EST)

The whitewater boat (Jackson Side Kick) is a generalist model.

The two sea kayaks (NDK Pilgrim Expedition, NDK Explorer LV) are generalists also, though biased towards hauling camping gear. I've never had any specialist kayaks because I haven't needed them.

I intend to sell the Explorer LV and try to get a rock-gardening/surf play boat in plastic, when one small enough for me is made. I'll keep the other two kayaks. If I get tired of waiting, I might buy a SOT that could be used for the same purpose even if it's not the best way to go.

There's been no lack of fun using the nonspecialized boats, so I'm not exactly obsessed with buying another boat.
