My GF and I are looking at used kayaks, with an eye mainly towards
day-paddling (river and Lake MI), with occasional one- or two-night
river trips. We've paddled a few different kayaks in conditions
ranging from flat rivers to light ocean surf, but we're not
particularly experienced (she's 130 lbs, I'm 185).
I've got a line on a couple of used Necky boats, a Zoar and a Kayook.
Am I right in thinking these would fit our needs pretty well? Any
comments?

I am not familiar with the Kayook at all; I am familiar with the Zoar and it
is a good entry level kayak for the lake and overnighting. But you also
mentioned river trips, if your are talking about flat rivers with nothing
more than very mild rapids the Zoar would still be alright. If the rapids
are any greater than that any of a number of whitewater boats would be more
suitable than the Zoar.
