Submitted: 01-23-2001 by Mark M. I have the Ram-x 17, and am totally satisfied with it despite the blatent draw-backs. I have been white water canoeing several times with large loads strapped down, and have had a riot. She is safe, steady, light and durable. She is as slow as they come, but when I'm cooking down a quick river, it just doesn't matter how sleek she is. Unless I'm loaded heavilly, the wind is a large obstacle, so I have to plan my trips around the wind. Other than that, I'm happy with my big red work-horse. |
