Necky Eliza Kayak w/ Rudder
Maine Coast-multiday overnight Great Boat

Used this boat for a 3 day tour/camping trip in coastal Maine- island to island! Loads and loads of fun!!!
Lightweight, playful, stable touring kayak. Easy rudder- just pull cord to bring up/down. I fit all my backpacking gear into this thing except for the sleeping bag, which my husband had to take. The sleep bag is only ~soccer ball sized but the hatch openings were too small to squeeze it in.
Be prepared to be creative to get all your overnight gear in. I can fit all my backpacking gear into a 1500 cu pack; I got all of it in except the sleeping bag. Don't go with Large sized drybags, go with medium and small but just use more of them. It took me quite a while to figure out a packing scheme that worked.
Overall, very sweet boat but requires a PhD to pack it. No regrets with Eliza.
