The sacrifices we make…
If you are still interested in a Montauk… this one just popped up on CL:
Kayak Montauk & Kirton Tercel - sporting goods - by owner - sale (craigslist.org)
I don’t know anything about it, just spotted the ad.
Thanks for that! I must have missed it, but that ok!
I picked up a new-to-me Currituck yesterday and took it for a ~1hr paddle immediately
It seems like a great fit! The space for my feet is about as small as I’d like to go at this point I think, but I was able to edge it about as well as I could the Tempest 165 (which isn’t well, but it’s a start!!), so I’m pretty happy with that! Right now I’m hopeful that this is a good boat for me to start advancing my skills a bit!
Congrats! You look like a happy paddler.

Enjoy many safe strokes!
Looks like you developed “Happy Paddler Syndrome” . I get that same grin when paddling a new boat. Congrates, hope the Impex works for you.
Fantastic! Thanks for updating us. Beautiful boat, hope you continue to enjoy it!
Hey all, another update! I took the Currituck out on a 5 day backcountry paddle on Lake Superior, and since the water temp where we were was ~5°C, we were wearing full drysuits, booties etc, and it was AWESOME!!! Fits like a glove, got a decent edge on, learned some new techniques! LOVE this boat!!
Thanks again for entertaining all my questions and for all the guidance!!
Great news, glad you have a boat that you are comfortable in!
Where on Superior did you go?
5 days
Ontario
…
my guess would be Pukaskwa
next guess: L.S. Prov. Park
love the north shore of L Superior
You guessed it! We launched at Gargantua Harbour, went north to Old Woman Bay & return. Due to unbelievably good weather, it was an easy paddle with lots of exploring of the nooks and crannies of the rocky shorelines
