I've only been paddling for about 5 years now but fortunately get on the water 50+ times per year. I've been paddling a Carolina 14.5 which I got as a gift a few years back. I'm looking to upgrade this fall to more of a touring boat and I was hoping for some recommendations. Because of finances, I've been mainly looking at some of the better poly boats or even Perception airlites. My other option would be to gut it during the winter/spring with what I have and save up for a glass/composite. I'd greatly appreciate any thoughts on reasonable intermediate touring boats..Thanks
