For weight, look at Warren Light Craft. You need to decide on more factors than just the ones you listed, specifically length, width, intended use, etc. I would say that the best all-around touring boat would be the TRAK kayak, since you can adjust rocker, which seems like a great idea.

I have a Hurricane Tracer 165 and love it. But it would not be "the BEST." I don't disagree with the Warren recommendation. That is if you don't want to BUILD your own such as a pygmy kayak. But there is. honestly, one better I think (*If I found out I had a terminal disease I would buy one of these (not caring about the price):

I'll hate you if you get one of these. And I don't even know you!


Cheers!
