I purchased a used Airalite Spectre 15.5 wt/rudder and love it. It's my first kayak and I wanted something a cut above a plastic boat...this is perfect for my needs. I picked it up on sale for $1000. Just minor scuffs and scrapes on the bottom. My only problem is the hatch covers tend to not seal flush with the deck...mostly cosmetic.
The boat cuts thru the water like a knife...I cruise with minimal effort at 4 to 5 mph. Seems very stable to me but I'm a newbie...only been in rivers, lakes, and protected bays. Also the pegs seem to be a bit awkward for my feet...nothing some minicell couldn't fix when I get the time. I'm 185lbs and 6feet tall.
