Definitely do some test paddling. All the yaks mentioned are very different. Myself, I miss my T140. I'm in a Prowler 15 right now and it's has its perks over the T140. But, it's a wet ride. The T140 paddles nice, tracks nice, plenty stable, has enough inside storage and I really like the track system. The Ride will be slower, but more stable. Try before you buy.

Why not have a look at the OK Trident Ultra 4.3?
