Submitted: 09-11-2007 by RF Plower! I bought this boat over a year ago for my wife thinking it would be a good compromise between creek/slow river and lake boat. My wife is a weak paddler in open water, so I get stuck with this one at the lake while she gets my Manitou 12'. Takes a ton of energy to carry speed and track in open water and goodness forbid white caps. Spray skirt!
On the positive side, if you're looking for a creek / swifter water (not white) boat this is a good choice. It's stable and a Quick turner in fast water, very easy to maneuver around obstacles.
Overall, would not recommend unless you only run quick water. |
