I moved to the west side and I'm looking for places to OC1 out of. Where do all the west side paddlers go? Favorite routes?

Yes, another 'what boat to buy "thread:(

I have $1,400 to spend on a used OC1. I have done a little research & am leaning twords a Naia',Carbon hopefully. I have a Arrow & don't leave the canal or go out farther than I can swim in safely.

I've come across several Vantages,Pahoas, all HYPR Built, no Tiger Built:(
I would like a Zypher, but can't find 1. I'm 190lb,5'8". Thanks for any Input. I do t wanna have to be rescued or have a partner paddle in while I hang on-FAIL

Hey I'm seriously looking to purchase a Scorpius by Kai Wa'a (not the XM, I'm about 30 lbs overweight for that boat), but I am having trouble getting in touch with the people over there, does anyone have any idea where the demo may be, and how to contact them? Also has anyone recently purchased one, cause I'm wondering about the wait time and if they're back ordered or not. I've never purchased a new boat before, so this will be my first and needless to say, I am a little scared/intimidated.
