GaBassmaster,
1.) These boats are NOTHING alike although you claim they are and that they work better. How would you know? The Coosa literally just hit the market this past week and I am quite certain you have not paddled one because the ones that went into stores were pretty much all pre-sold. Sort of makes your post seem uneducated and therefore your advice untrustworthy IMO. I know Randy and I don't comment or compare the actual performance of boats unless we have tried them (we may compare deck features however).
2.) The Coosa has a Standard version ($799) that is just $120 more than the 12 ft version of the boat you posted that is most similar (a 10ft kayak is not comparable to the Coosa, sorry). So, in reality those kayaks are just $120 less, without coming close to the amount of features even the Standard Coosa has. So, if someone wants to save $120 to lose out on the features of the Coosa, by all means that is their choice.
3.) The Coosa is built by a leading kayak company in the paddle sports industry, who have proven to make high quality boats and come with a three year limited warranty with hull replacement at no charge for first two years.
I'm not saying those boats don't work (heck, you can catch fish floating on a log if you want) and have their place in the industry somewhere, but to compare them to the Coosa is not fair to either boat really because they are so different.
