I purchased 9.5 because of storage concern. It tracks pretty well. The hull is a bit shallower than I thought. The cockpit is very wide so splash comes in more easily, so I recommend a longer paddle. It becomes a good thing when paddling in a warm/hot day. The seat is very comfortable. I feel I can sit for hours without a problem. The speed is good for its length.
I have another short yak, OT Rush. Sundance is lighter than Rush, and is much lighter when car topping. I don't play in river or long distance, and don't fish on it, either. Therefore, this kayak is perfect for my situation.
