I think the Manta Ray is AWESOME.
Also, keep the term "hard to paddle" relative. No good fishin yaks are really HARD TO PADDLE...just a little variation between models is all.
Id definitely vote on the logest boat possible that you like after testing...I was AMAZED at the difference between the Tarpon 120 I was using and the Redfish 14 I just purchased. The 14 is like you are on ice compared to the Tarpon. Very little effort to maintain speed. It takes just a couple paddle strokes to get to speed and will "slide" right along for 20-30 yards after you stop paddling.
Just something to think about.
