In addition to the Charles River Canoe & Kayak place and Billington Sea does anyone know of any other places to demo kayaks? I am trying to find a Tsnunami 145 model to demo but am not having any luck. No one seems to have them in stock. Any suggestions? Thanks
The Kayak Centre in Rhode Island. It's about 90 minutes away. The Wickford store will let you demo boats. I haven't been to the Block Island store but I guess that one does demo's too. They have a lot of boats to try. Great people, we were very satisfied with the whole experience.
Riverwench, have you tried the 140 and decided that you like the boat, but the larger size would be better? Because I know that BSK has the 140 available to demo.

Riverwench, you might want to get in on the <a href="http://www.wtpaddlers.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=30">Cohasset Trip</a> that Nelson is organizing. There might be a couple of TS145's that you might be able to try...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll call the Kayak Center and see what they have. I went to the REI demo but they did not have the Tsunami there. I did paddle the 140 at Billington Sea but would like to paddle the 145 before making a decision. Can't make the trip this weekend as i am otherwise obligated but i'll get on another one soon.
