The Spike took a little time to learn to love. But it is turning out to be an extremely well designed & built boat. My major dislike is the rudder system, because it in not necessary in a boat of this length, and, I need every inch of the available leg room. So I will eventually remove the rudder system and my source of disatisfaction!
Boat is a good surfer, tracks well on S FL canals, and has been good to me in 4 foot waves on the Atlantic, safe and confidence building. It has proven to be a good fishing & diving platform. While I have an OK Mars I am very fond of, this is a far better designed and constructed kayak! If it just had a couple more inches in the cockpit.... |
