the agent is much more of a play boat then a runner...the 6.7 is a pretty good mix of running and playing and see a few of them on the river. Are you a beginner paddler or someone experienced?? If there are any local shops in your area go and demo a few boats, fit and feel are such an important part of boat buying you'll be glad you did.

if you are beginner check out jackson kayaks, great fit and friendly shape thats both stable and easy to roll...but also not so basic you'll immediatly out grow it.

check the used boat market around you as well. there are always alot of used for sale and definitely a good way to save you cash.

Theres a reason H20 paddles are as expensive and popular as they are. They are super tough. If you've broken 3 (pretty impressive, what are you using?) then maybe its worth spending the extra money and getting a good one. Werners are pretty sweet as well but the fiberglass/carbon fiber blades are more prone to chipping and breaking.
