I've owned a purple Hurricane Santee 116 Sport since September 2015. I chose this kayak not only for its good looks but for how well it tracked, speed, and most of all, for its weight! At under 40 pounds, I can carry this kayak over my shoulder and load it onto my Honda CRV with ease! I go out every weekend and enjoy the SWFL paddling trails. I get lots of compliments on the looks and color of my Santee. The sports model is also easy to get into and out of, and to me it's like a combination of a sit on top and a sit inside due to its large cockpit opening. I am thoroughly happy with the choice I made!
