Great 12' boat for rivers and surf. It maneuvers well for its length and is very stable, thanks to a low seat. It's a bit heavy, but that's a good tradeoff for those who will be giving it a pounding. The walls are thick enough to take it. I run Class III with no problem. I installed the center hatch, but seldom use it. It's not really accessible while you're in the boat, and it's just as easy to use waterproof bags with the numerous deck straps. It'll easily haul coolers, scuba tanks, etc. with the generous stern well. Not a speedster, but it'll suffice for moderate-length flatwater trips with a skilled paddler. |
