Not sure why the quote about I, Claudius was attached. To the last post. Probably because I waa replying to another of your threads.
I googled to look up the info you posted about streaming. Look what I found:
The real question should be is the pungo, oru, or pakayak the fastest?
I have no insight into that comparison but I do know my pakayak is more efficient on the flats than my ww boats.

A 14 ft boat is essentially a 14 ft boat, unless it’s disproportionate. It looks like it buildscto a tall deck near the cockpit and the bow and stern are fine . My guess is it would be easy to paddle. Specs show typical weight for a rotomold style boat, maybe even a few pounds lighter.
Can you add different components to cha ge the features of the kayak - bigger cargo area, different bow or stern shapes?
No different components, what you see is what you get. The cockpit is really deep so that the sections can stack. This isn’t a boat you wear, meaning that there isn’t much of a boat-body connection. A few folks have beefed up the outfitting but that is somewhat problematic given that the pieces are made to stack inside each other

My thoughts exactly. That andvthe folding kayaks. reat info-tainment, publc service announcement post
I looked at the Pakayaks at Mountain Man Outfitters in Saratoga Springs a couple of years ago – interesting design that allows you to nest the sections and fit the boat into the hatch of a wagon or easily into a pickup bed. As you noticed, this requires a high volume bow, though there is nothing wrong with that (my Greenland replica has a similar bulgy front half and low stern deck). I’m not aware of the Pakayak having any assembly options other than the basic set up.
But the Point 65 modular kayaks can be set up as single, tandem or, technically even a 3 to infinity seater due to having an insertable mid section. Their Falcon comes as a 3 piece (solo is 8’ 8" and 40 pounds, /tandem is 12’9" and 60 pounds) convertible for $999 and you can get extra cockpit mid sections for $449 each. So a theoretical 3-seater would be 16’ 10" and weigh 80 pounds.
It’s an interesting idea for a family kayak. I had suggested buying a pair of them a few years ago to a couple with a 6 year old who were planning on a second child and were looking for ideas. Having two would allow them to set up a 3 seater or a tandem plus a solo for the 3 person family now, and later be able to have each parent have a child in a tandem. And if they got a sitter and left the kids home – both parents could set up their own solos.
