My wife has this in a 10' version, I'm debating the 12 footer

Locally around $700. They have basically the same Kayak at
Academy for $529, but I cannot find it on their website. Probably going to be discontinued, but still in local stores.

The Academy kayak is made from the same mold as the older version of the Wilderness Kayak, but with a cheaper seat and a few other minor differences. I'm leaning hard toward the one at Academy. The better seat isn't worth $170 to me.

If you can live with a 10' version the Wilderness sells for about $600.

Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
