I used to own a Liquid Logic kayak, but as I aged, it became too heavy for me to lift onto the car racks. My Venus 11 is 20 lbs. lighter and easier to handle. It's designed for women and it tracks well. We kayak on a local lake 2-3x's a week.
I am using the Mantaray 12 on a local lake. It handles easily. Paddling is not difficult because of its length and straight maneuvering. The interior is comfortable and there's plenty of storage for fish and gear, drinks, bug sprays, etc.
