Since I can't easily arrange my calendar, I might not try for those. Here is one I enter on a daily basis. They run it year-round, and always have 3 to 4 kayaks and canoes, and occasionally a trip, on each sweepstakes. But you have a choice, you can click on the boat you want. Since I really, really, really want a touring kayak, that is the one I always pick.

Thanks for the link. I've got two sit ons, one tandem that is very heavy and a bit slow but caries a LOT of gear if you go solo. One single that has a shallow draft but is a bit squirrly when trying to paddle in a straight line. Who doesn't need another boat, right?

My big dream is to do the entire lower Colorado River from Hoover Dam to Yuma, in one 3 to 4 week trip. It's 330 miles, there are about 6 dams, and you use a kayak cart to walk/hike/pull/drag the boat around the dams. A touring boat with a rudder and lots of storage is the way to go for that trip.
