My girlfriend and I have demoed and rented numerous sit-on-tops recently, and for the money, the Moku beats all the boats we've tried from Ocean Kayak, Cobra, Hobie, Heritage, etc. For conditions like those throughout Florida, this boat is a nice combination of roominess, stability, tracking, handling, and paddling comfort. Liked the fact that it came stock with the bow storage hatch, side and end handles, and storage straps. Definitely a good buy.
