Looks like a Pyranha Micro. Was a popular short creeker in the 90s.

I think it was called Microbat before 1995. After that, there were the Micro 230, 240 and 250 ( playak.com/kayaks.php?id=1708 ).

The old Microbat had a classic round hull. The Micros had a split flat hull, i.e. one rail in the middle and one on each side. Which gave the boat a really strange feeling: it had pretty close to zero primary stability.

[this is from the top of my head. someone closer to pyranha, feel free to confirm or deny]

If you're happy, you're successful.
